Wausau Wolfpack girls lacrosse wins final regular season game
HUDSON, Wis. — The Wausau Wolfpack high school girls lacrosse team won their final game of the regular season 15-7 in a non-conference contest with the Superior Spartans.
Six different Wolfpack players scored in the win. The team was led by senior Lily Sann and junior Brooke Schaefer with four goal each. Seniors Hailey Thomas-Radant and Mia Otten and sophomore Gabi Heuser each added a pair of goals, while freshman Alanna Rogers added a single tally.
The Wolfpack held just a 7-3 halftime lead before pouring on the offense in the second half for the win.
“It was a bittersweet moment to see the season come to an end,” said head coach Bri Marcott. “They came out against a tough team and kept fighting through the end even though the score wasn’t in our favor. The second game allowed us to end on a positive note.”
The game marked the regular season finale for eight Wolfpack seniors, including Sann, Otten, Speichinger, Thomas-Radant, Kendra Ohde, Leo Thao and Cheyanne Kordus.
“Losing our eight seniors will be difficult to get used to,” said Marcott. “They brought amazing leadership, character and maturity whenever it was needed and immaturity when we needed it, too!. As hard as it will be to see them go, I’m excited to hear about their experiences in the next chapter and how they will continue to grow.”
The team had fallen in a game earlier in the afternoon to conference rival Hudson by a score of 20-0. Hudson is currently the top ranked high school girls lacrosse team in the state. Despite the relentless offensive barrage, the Wolfpack’s senior goalie Amelia Speichinger had nine saves in the game.
“After Saturday’s games I could not be more proud of these ladies,” said Marcott. “They came out against a tough team and kept fighting through the end even though the score wasn’t in our favor. The second game allowed us to end on a positive note.”
“We may not have hit our goals on the scoreboard, but we absolutely hit the mark for the atmosphere the captains wanted to create for our team,” said Marcott.
“Everyone was positive, hardworking, patient and supportive of each other and I believe we can continue on that trend in coming seasons.”
The team will play in a post season conference tournament at a date and location to be determined. The team finished the regular season with an overall record of 4-13 record and has a 2-4 record in the Bay Valley Conference.
