Strath Haven’s Annalise Penikis was able to joke about the halftime speech by coach Margie Garrity today at the 9th Annual Katie Samson Festival at Radnor High.
That’s because the Panthers rallied for a 16-14 victory over Episcopal Academy, the No. 2 ranked team in the PA Media Lacrosse Rankings.
“On the back of our new shirts we have the word, ‘Consistency,’” aid Penikis. “Mrs Garrity said at halftime, ‘You’ve been consistently awful, so now you have to be consistently good.’ We just came out to play in the second half.”
Indeed, the eighth-ranked Panthers (10-1) listened to their coach. They rebounded from a 10-5 halftime deficit and scored five unanswered goals to take a 14-12 lead.

First Conestoga saw a two-goal lead over Episcopal Academy vanish late in the second half at the Katie Samson Festival at Radnor High School Saturday afternoon.
Then Maggie Stetson made sure the Pioneers’ long winning streak didn’t go away, too. Stetson’s goal with five seconds to play lifted the second-ranked Pioneers (12-1) to a 9-8 victory over fifth-ranked EA, Conestoga’s 12th win in a row since a season-opening loss to Agnes Irwin.
“I’m not sure I’ve ever done something like that before,” said Stetson, a senior headed to Drexel. “This was a big win for us, especially knowing that that team has beaten Agnes Irwin this year.”
