Like their male counterparts, the St. Louis Park Girls Lacrosse team played their first home game in two years and were led my Abby Meyer's two goals that helped the Orioles beat the St. Paul Bobcats 5-3 on a chilly Monday night.
The Orioles took command early, as Jarielyz Lopez-Barrera made a centering pass to Meyer and she put the ball into the net :16 into the game. The Bobcats would tie the game when Guillemette Schroepfer received a behind the net pass and scored from the center slot. But St. Louis Park would regain the lead :37 later when Margaux Pollock went around the left side of the net, cut to the center slot and scored. They would go up by two on Lilly Fandel Thompson's center slot goal. St. Paul would cut the lead to one on a free shot goal from Eyana Bougie-Martinez. The Orioles led 3-2 at halftime.
It looked like Emilia Johnson would begin the second half scoring when the ball went into the net following a free shot. But the goal was disallowed because Bobcat goalkeeper, Alex Schroepfer hit Johnson in the chin with her stick. Guillemette Schroepfer would score her second goal of the game to even the game at three. The Orioles would clinch the win with two goals. Meyer would score her second goal as she came from the left side, cut to the center slot and sent the ball to the net. They would get an insurance goal on a free shot from Luna Labelle that bounced into the net with :41 to go.
At halftime, St. Louis Park's Erin Brousseau was honored as the recipient of the school's Athena Award, which is awarded to the school's outstanding female athlete.
