COURTESY PHOTO State champions The Laconia Lacrosse Club’s 10U red team took home the state championship at last Saturday’s statewide tournament in Amherst. This team of third and fourth graders went 8-0 on the regular season, and faced another 8-0 team from Hollis in the championship game. Laconia’s girls played fiercely in an excit- ing game that came down to the wire, but the relentless attack on offense and disciplined defense, coupled with incredible goalten- ding, sealed the victory, making them the best 10U team in New Hampshire. Back row (l to r), Alissa Jean of Tilton, Brynn Moore of Moultonborough, Liv Riendeau of Tilton, Brooklynne Ring of Laconia (goalie), Brooklynn Wirth, Alexis Dionne and Olivia Gagnon, all of Laconia. Front row (l to r), Natalie Allen of Franklin, Amelia Collie of Belmont, Morgan Fitts of Enfield and Emma Chase of Tilton. The Laconia Lacrosse Club’s 8U girls’ team (first and second grade), nearly won its state title, making it to sudden death overtime in the championship game, when Timberlane scored first.
