National power St. Stephen’s & St. Agnes (VA)
Jackie Lanzalotto said Notre Dame Academy’s 7-6 win today over national power St. Stephen’s & St. Agnes (VA) at its annual Spring Fling was a landmark win for the Irish.
“This is huge for our program,” said the senior goalie. “Our coaches, Xan Zimatore and Maura Wilson, started coaching at Notre Dame my freshman year and since then our team has been working year-round for a win against a nationally ranked program like SSSA, and it is great to be able to do it as a senior.”
Notre Dame (3-1) had suffered a 10-9 loss to St. Johns College (DC) on Friday at the Spring Fling, which annually attracts many ranked teams. St. Stephen’s (10-2) entered play this weekend as the No. 5 team in the Inside Lacrosse rankings.
