Thursday night was Senior Night for the St. Louis Park girls lacrosse team and one of the six seniors recognized before the games, Talia Simonett scored two goals and assisted on two others to lead the host Orioles to a 7-4 win over the Duluth Wolfpack.
It took only :16 for the Orioles to take the early lead as Anna Roethler, who will play soccer next season at Carleton College in Northfield, made a centering pass to Sofia Roloff and she shot the ball into the net. Josie Peterson would even the score for the Wolf pack :40 later. St. Louis Park would regain the lead on a goal by SJ. They would take a two goal lead when Simonett fed Roloff and she scored her second goal. Duluth cut the lead to one as Fayja Erceg went past SJ and drove the ball to the net. The Wolfpack would tie the game at three on a goal by Chloe Cederstrom with 3:10 to go in the half. But St. Louis Park would head back in front when Halle Weinmann passed to Roethler and she would score with :13.9 to go and give the Orioles a 4-3 halftime lead.
The Wolfpack would tie the game at four to begin the second half on Annie Reichhoff's goal. Would there be a happy bus ride home up I-35 to the Twin Ports? Not on Senior Night for the Orioles as the scored the next three goals to put the game away. Simonett would pick up her second assist as she set up SJ's second goal to put St.Louis Park ahead. She would also show her speed and athleticism as she would score the game's final two goals. Her first goal came following a pass from Anna Van Pilsum-Johnson and she went around the right side of the net, cut into the center slot and drove the ball to the net. Simonett would add her second goal and that concluded the scoring.
Prior to the start of the game, in addition to Simonett, Roloff, Roethler, SJ and Dania El Ghandour were the other seniors honored.
St. Louis Park improved their record to 4-6 and wraps up their home season Friday afternoon at 5 PM against the Mounds View Mustangs. Duluth falls to 5-6 and will also be in action on the 19th as they head down I-94 to St. Paul to face the Cretin-Derham Hall Raiders at 7 PM at O'Shaughnessy Stadium on the campus of St. Thomas University.
