GIRLS LACROSSE
CARTHAGE 19, WATERTOWN 6
Katie Ferris capped a week of explosive scoring to lead Carthage past visiting Watertown in a Frontier League game.
Ferris generated 10 goals and two assists to help the Comets hand Watertown its first loss of the season. The sophomore attacker finished the week with 23 goals and six assists, and is also the league leader in goals scored with 55.
"She's just such a good player," Carthage coach Sue Gallagher said of her team's top goal producer. "She knows how to cut, how to get open to get the ball, and she knows how to finish."
Carthage (7-3, 5-0) took control early and led 12-3 at halftime.
Katherine DeRonda provided four goals and five assists, and Alaina Piroli scored three times.
But Gallagher said the key to the victory was her team's strong performance on defense. The Comets were just the second team this spring to limit the Cyclones' offense, which averaged 14.9 goals per game before Friday, to single-digit scoring.
"Watertown is a pretty high-scoring team, but we definitely did a good job," Gallagher said. "Particularly Colleen DeRonda, Joelle Percy, and Olivia Roggie."
