REDMOND, Wash. – Morgan Merriman and Sarah Pollnow each scored four goals as Lakeside advanced to a perfect 7 – 0 record with a 15 – 5 Girls Division I high school lacrosse victory over Lake Sammamish, Thursday at Redmond’s Marymoor Park. The win was the second of the day for Lakeside as the Lions’ second squad defeated Lake Sammamish’s second unit, 17 – 2 in a Division II game.

The Division I win moved Lakeside into a first-place tie with Bainbridge Island. Bainbridge is also undefeated in league play.

In Division I play, the first half was all Lakeside as Morgan Merriman scored on an unassisted shot just 1 minute, 32 seconds into the game. The score was the first of eight unanswered goals for the Lions before Ali Savage finally put Lake Sammamish on the board at 8:19 of the half.

In the second half, Lakeside took the field with a comfortable 10 – 1 lead and appeared to be on the same track as the first half as Sarah Pollnow connected on a solo shot just under 1 minute into the half to give the Lions their 11th goal.

However, Lake Sammamish responded to coach Lena Hanson’s halftime encouragement, scoring their first goal just 2 minutes, 13 seconds later on a free position shot by Jenna Carleton.

“Our team is young,” said Hanson, whose team graduated six seniors in 2008 – two of which are now playing NCAA lacrosse. “Lakeside is one of the best teams in the league. I told them to get their feet and trust themselves that they could compete with Lakeside.”

The teams then traded goals for nearly 12 minutes in end-to-end, evenly matched play. In the final eight minutes, only Lake Sammamish scored as Allie Savage found the Lakeside net beating Lions goaltender Sarah Adler with just 1:43 remaining.

“We were very impressed with Lake Sammamish,” said Lakeside assistant Marc Binder. “They threw and caught the ball better than we did. Despite the score, they clearly outplayed us.”

On Friday, Lakeside will attempt to keep its undefeated season in tact as the Lions take on 1-6-0 Curtis High School at the Lakeside School in north Seattle.
