Hebron Academy girls lacrosse had an exciting season this year! The girls varsity lacrosse team gained many new members, who had formerly participated in club lacrosse outside of school, which greatly impacted the teams success.  Additionally two new coaches, specializing in lacrosse and functional strength training, were hired to lead the girls.  With new talent and experienced coaches, the Hebron Girls Varsity Lacrosse team was well equipped for a successful season.

After a few weeks of practice, team captains were nominated and voted on.  Coaches and players appointed three junior class members, Annie F. ‘25, Tessa S. ‘25, and Emma F. ‘25 to lead the team this past season. The teams first game was against rival school Kents Hill.  The girls wanted to start their season with a win, and, appropriately, they also wanted to crush their rival school.  As goals were scored, the girls realized their season’s potential.  Having completed only a few practices, the Hebron team came out with the win.  Excited, the girls rang the victory bell in front of many parents and fans.More games were played, and the girls sat at 3-0 half way through their season. The next game would break their streak and bring a tough loss to the team’s record, but it only seemed to strengthen the team when they came back to win the next game they played.   

With the playoff season coming, the girls were seeded first, meaning they would play the four seed, Hyde School in the MAISAD semi-finals.  The girls went into the game confident in their ability and it showed on the scoreboard as they won at home 12-2.  A few practices later, the team played in the finals, but they were missing a few players.  Two Midfielders would not be playing; Sammy J. ‘26 was out with a concussion and Emma F. ‘25 would be away.  Additionally Athina N. ‘28 who is a strong defender was also out with a concussion.  Being down three players, the girls still fought hard and gave it their all; however, they came up just short and lost 4-7 to Kents Hill.  Despite the loss in the finals, the girls lacrosse team had the best record they have had in years.  The girls had fun, brought the energy, and won games, leading them to a very successful season and they hope to bring home the championship next year
