The Becker girls lacrosse team dropped two games this past week to fall to 3-3.
CR 13, Becker 4
Tuesday, the Lady Bulldogs hosted Coon Rapids, who entered the match with an impressive 6-1 record. Becker was without a few key players in their lineup and lost the match by nine.
The Bulldogs got goals from Sydney Benda, Courtney Fobbe, Mckenzie Opgenorth and Katie Pursley on 11 shots on goal. Coon Rapids fired 20 shots at goalie Kelsi Halvorson and she saved seven.
Orono 14, Becker 11
In a very close game, Orono prevailed over Becker Thursday afternoon.
The game see-sawed throughout with one team getting the upper hand with a goal and the opposition answering with a goal of their own.
Opgenorth (seven goals) and Brandy Watercott (four) did all the scoring for Becker. The Bulldogs poured 26 shots on goal and Orono’s goaltender did very well despite giving up 11.
Becker’s Halvorson saved 15 of 29 shots.
Fobbe was involved in 14 draws and controlled nine of the 14.
Becker hosted a game Friday night against Monticello (full report on game in next week’s Citizen), then travel to Delano Saturday (today) to take on the Tigers.
Monday, they host Wayzata at 4 p.m. another home match Tuesday against St. Cloud Tech at 6:30 p.m., then finish the regular season on the road against St. Michael-Albertville Thursday.
