Their final regular season record stands at a whopping 14-6. According to Varsity Coach Carter Abbott, the team\u2019s best game was against Hunterdon Central. \u201cThe Pingry team hadn\u2019t been leading the game until the last four seconds. Then they really went for it, bringing the final score to 15-14.\u201d Abbot continued, \u201cAlso, one of our players scored nine goals in this game, which was amazing.\u201d Currently, the team is ranked fourteenth in the state on nj.com, and is currently seeded third in the Somerset County Tournament. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThis is the best we\u2019ve done in a while, and the best rank we\u2019ve had in about five years. It\u2019s really exciting,\u201d says Abbott. She attributes much of the success of the season to the leadership of the seven seniors, Mairead Higgins (VI), Shea Smith (VI), Sana Sheikh (VI), Josie Cummings (VI), Elle Braveman (VI), Tea Simon (VI), and Jenny Coyne (VI), and the other coaches, Assistant Coach Meredith Finkelstein and Goalie Coach Courtney Tierney. Abbott also says that the team\u2019s \u201cversatile attack\u201d and \u201cexperienced defense\u201d are their best weapons. \u00a0\u201cIn each meet, we have four of five different people scoring, which makes us difficult to stop. Having a lot of weapons makes it difficult to stop them all.\u201d she says. Additionally, Abbott states that the twenty-three new freshman, one of whom is on varsity, have contributed much to the team. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cLacrosse: Turning violent personalities to world class athletes.\u201d If this statement is true, then most of the twenty members of Pingry girls\u2019 varsity lacrosse team must be in dire need of anger management.
