A lacrosse season lasts three months.
Last spring, Springfield-Delco freshman Emily Santana’s season lasted about half that long.
“I had a concussion,” Santana said. “I got hit by a stick and then I was involved in a collision. I was out about a month and a half. It was awful standing there watching everyone else play. (The coaches) told me to watch whoever was out there in my spot.”
Thursday afternoon at Haldermann Field, all eyes were on Santana in the closing seconds of the host Cougars’ Central League matchup with Strath Haven, which came into the contest unbeaten after Tuesday’s one-goal decision over two-time defending PIAA champion Garnet Valley.
Santana gave everyone something to talk about, putting the finishing touches on her hat trick by scoring with 16 seconds to play to keep Springfield (6-0, 2-0) perfect with an 11-10 decision over Haven (3-1, 1-1).
