The Cape lacrosse girls brought the red-dog blitz package to Polytech May 8, racing out to a 9-0 first-quarter lead and settling in for a 20-0 victory.

Cape had 13 different players reach the scoresheet, led by Avery Miller and Mikaela Gordon each with three goals. Claire Lopez, Haley Gamuciello and Regan Best each scored two goals. 

The four tall freshmen each scored a goal led by Hazel Mancari, while Meredith Frederick, Harper Derrick and Annabell Bonk each scored their first varsity goal.

Other single-goal scorers were Alexis Zolper, Ally Diehl, Mairead Rishko and Makenzie Todd. 

Assists were credited to Zolper with two and Lopez and Kemper Cox with one apiece. 

Cape played three goalies, including Jordan Murray, Emily Wells and Dylan Peck.

Cape (12-2) closes out the regular season Wednesday, May 13, hosting Milford (8-5) for Senior Night. 

Notes: Cape beat Polytech in the 2015 state final 16-6. The Poly team was coached by Lynn Richardson with coach Lindsey Underwood as an assistant. Underwood was at Poly from 2011 to 2015. Cape escaped Polytech in 2016, winning 12-10. Eddy Shoop had five goals for Cape, while Addie Mckay scored five for the Panthers. Poly then went to the blind lottery for admissions which negatively affected the sports programs.

Because of the double-bye system in the expanded state tournament, Cape will not play until they host a quarterfinal game Saturday, May 23.

“Ten days is a long time to sit, but we have a lot of work to do, and this group of players is motivated," Underwood said.
