POULSBO, Wash. – Led by five Morgan Moniz goals, Bainbridge Island capped its Girls Division II lacrosse season with a 22 – 4 romp over rival North Kitsap, Thursday at Poulsbo’s North Kitsap Stadium to move into a tie for the division lead.

The Spartans, who have come on strong in the second half, reeling-off five straight wins to finish the season with 24 points, now await their seeding fate for the state tournament pending the outcome of Friday’s Mercer Island vs. Lakeside and Issaquah vs. Kennedy games. Mercer Island also has 24 points, while Lakeside and Issaquah each have 22.

Mercer Island can lock up the league title with a win or tie on Friday, while an MI loss will give the Spartans either a two or three-way share of the league title.

The Spartans dominated play almost from the opening draw outscoring the Vikings, 13 – 3 in the first half. In the second, Bainbridge again took up residence on the North Kitsap side of the field finding the net another nine times.

With her five goals, the Spartans’ Moniz has tallied 23 on the season, while Nicole Miller connected for four giving her 18 on the season. Other Bainbridge scorers included Grace Deery-Schmitt and Theo Tehsenfeld, each with three goals. Kendra Gottschalk scored all four for North Kitsap.

PORT ORCHARD, Wash. – Freshman Kellen Kennedy scored four goals as South Kitsap High School broke one of the longest losing skids in Washington state high school lacrosse history, Tuesday with a 12 – 4 Boys Division II win over rival North Kitsap at Hidden Creek Elementary School in Port Orchard, Wash.

The Wolves’ who had not won this season and had amassed a total of 34 straight losses dating back three years, finally left the field winners on Tuesday, playing a hard fought, physical lacrosse from the opening quarter.

“To play hard, come together and see the winning side is great for our kids,” said South Kitsap coach Michael Kehl, whose team, now in its seventh year, consists of 70 to 80 percent first year players where most high schools in the state have strong youth lacrosse pipelines similar to baseball, football and basketball that provide their teams with experienced players. “To see these guys able to be competitive and run with the stronger teams is very rewarding,” he said. “Now that they have a taste of winning it’s going to help grow our program.”

South Kitsap opened the game with determination, outscoring North Kitsap 8 – 1 in the first half, including shutting out the Vikings in the second quarter.

“We got some momentum on our side early on and it carried through the game,” said Kehl, who played collegiate lacrosse at Chico State in California.

In the second half, South Kitsap’s defense again controlled the game, holding the Vikings to just one goal in the third and two in the fourth.

South Kitsap’s Brett Walker and David Gibson each contributed three goals in the win and goaltender Zach Retzlaf had 17 saves as the Vikings moved into sixth place in the Olympic Conference.

North Kitsap, which defeated South 10 – 5 in their first meeting April 14, dropped to 1-10-0 on the season.

In the loss, Jake Icard had 2 goals and Ian Brown had 10 saves in goal for the Vikings.
