4/26/08 – Katie Samson girls’ roundup: Springfield-Delco comes back from tough defeat

As if Springfield-Delco needed any more motivation.
The Cougars were playing Inter-Ac League power Episcopal Academy in the first girls’ game at Saturday’s Katie Samson Lacrosse Festival at Radnor. And they were still smarting from Friday’s surprising 12-11 overtime loss to Unionville.
Springfield (11-2), ranked No. 3 by Phillylacrosse.com, took out its frustration by seizing an 8-2 halftime lead and rolling to a 13-6 win over the seventh-ranked Churchwomen.
“Unionville really played well and we didn’t play as well as we’re capable of playing,” said Springfield coach Keith Broome. “I think today was really huge because we have had a tough group of games – Ridley, Strath Haven, Unionville, Episcopal and this week we have (No. 1) Radnor (Tuesday) and Conestoga (Thursday).
“So, to be at the top of your game every game is hard, but we have to be. I thought today was really important because after losing to Unionville I wanted to see how we’d overcome that obstacle.”

Katie Samson girls: Healthy Lemonick, Avery help @HarritonLax edge Episcopal Academy
By Harry Chaykun
Phillylacrosse.com, Posted 4/26/14
One of the worst things that can happen to a senior athlete is an injury.
Watching practices and games hurts just as much as whatever it was that caused the inactivity.
Harriton midfielder/defender Hilary Lemonick went through injury-related idleness earlier in the season. She has been back in the lineup helping the defending PIAA champion Rams (9-4) put together a six-game winning streak, which included a 6-5 decision over defending Pennsylvania Independent Schools champ Episcopal Academy at the 14th Katie Samson Lacrosse Festival at Radnor High Saturday afternoon.
Goalie Melina Avery missed the first five games of the winning streak after being hurt in Harriton’s last losing effort, which came against Downingtown East.
Avery played part of the Rams’ win over Lower Merion Thursday. The EA contest was her first full game since her injury.
