Elizabeth Furman on the Draw The seventh grade Garden City Grey Lady Rams (6-0) lacrosse squad continued their winning ways with a 16-12 victory over arch-rival Manhasset this past Sunday. This completed a two game sweep over the Manhasset teams, as the Grey Lady Rams defeated Manhasset's other seventh grade team 15-5 on April 27.

The Grey Lady Rams unleashed a powerful offensive game and were led by hat tricks from Jackie Jahelka (5 goals) and Haley Shannon (3 goals). Additional goal scorers were Emily Finnerty (2), Bitty Furman (2), Lily Schmidt (2) and solo tallies were added by Krista Dampman and Nickie Berkery.

The offensive zone was dominated throughout the contest and was added by strong groundball play and scoring assists from attackers Mary Glenn, Megan Higgins, Taylor Pappas, and Erin Higgins.

Goaltender Jackie Ferri stopped nine Manhasset shots as she netted her fifth win in goal this season. She was aided by the strong midfield play of Marie Cristoforo, Addie Zebrowski, Stephanie DiPierro, and the strong offensive zone checking of Brianna Noak and Caitlyn Mallan. The hustle of the middies and attackers helped hold off a late Manhasset surge which drew Manhasset within four goals late in the contest. Stalwart defender Lauren Coleman played through injury and combined with Hayley Newlin-Wagner to thwart numerous Manhasset scoring opportunities.

Jackie Ferri and Marie Cristoforo defending The Grey Lady Rams will look to move to 7-0 on the season when they travel to Rockville Centre on Saturday, May 17th at 9am. Coaches Jahelka, Coleman, and Shannon hope to build upon a successful early season which has seen their team outscore their opponents 80-32 through the first six games of the year.
