Members of Robinson girls lacrosse team Proving a Point respond to having their desire questioned.

embers of the Robinson girls la- M crosse coaching staff had seen enough. When Yorktown scored to take a 5- 3 lead with 11 minutes remaining in the first half of Tuesday, May 17’s regional tournament contest, Robinson’s sideline called a timeout. With the team huddled, head coach Sally Collier and assistant Rebecca Abood questioned the Rams’ desire to win. “First of all, we asked them if they wanted to play,” Collier said. “We told them that they had to show us that they wanted to play, and if you were looking like you didn’t want to, then we’re going to give the opportunity to other people who did.” Substitutions were made, giving multiple players a chance to analyze their play before returning to redeem themselves. The Rams were also in- structed to get the ball to juniors Campbell Collier and Katie McHugh. The timeout talk and ensuing ad- justments resulted in a dominant 36 minutes of lacrosse for Robinson, which advanced to the quarterfinals of the Northern Region Tournament with a 17-7 victory at Yorktown’s Greenbrier Stadium.
