The Southlake Carroll Lacrosse Association (“SCLA”) Lady Dragon High School Lacrosse Team reached new heights this season when they walked away from the Texas Girls High School State Championship as victors. This is only the second time the team has gone to state in program history and the first time they have walked away with the win. Under the guidance and direction of head coach Morgan McDonald and assistant coach Stephanie Schenkel, the team achieved the highest winning record on record for the team. They went 20-4-2 overall and 14-4-2 in Texas Girls High School League play.
“I am most proud of our team’s resiliency, as we continued to work hard even after tough losses,” senior team captain Lauren Risenhoover says. “During the season, we actually lost to the team that we ended up beating to win the State Championship."
The SCLA Lady Dragons were seeded third at the state tournament, but with heart and determination, they made it to the championship game to face off with Frisco Fury Lady Lacrosse. The game concluded with sudden death overtime, but the Lady Dragons came out on top.
“I was honestly in disbelief,” senior Olivia Webb says. “I was so proud of everyone and how hard we worked, but due to the nail-biting game I wasn’t sure if we would pull through until the last minute.”
This also resulted in the SCLA team’s No. 1 rank in the state and makes them a team to keep your eye on for the 2019-2020 season. While the team is graduating four talented seniors, the young team will keep a large amount of their underclassmen.
