It took a little something from everyone, but the Delaware Hayes girls lacrosse team got it done as a group, outlasting host Big Walnut 12-10 Tuesday night in Sunbury.
Eight different Pacers found the back of the net, including Lily Tope and Laura Ewell. Tope’s lone goal was a big one as the senior sliced through the Golden Eagle defense and slipped a shot just inside the crossbar to break a 10-all tie with 1:21 left in the game.
After Hayes won the ensuing face-off, Ewell scored with 50.7 seconds left to put the finishing touches on the win.
Ewell closed with two goals, as did Madison Bricker, Presley Call and Alana Kay. Tope, Sophia Hance, Lindsay Wolverton and Kaitlin Klabus all finished with one.
Big Walnut used a more focused approach, with two players — Peyton Deverso and Ashley Fisher — combining to score nine of its 10 goals. After Klabus’ tally tied things at nine with 8:28 left, Deverso scored on a free-position shot to put the Eagles up 10-9 with 3:03 left.
Wolverton got the equalizer just 30 seconds later, though, setting to up the Pacers’ solid finish.
Joleigh Lawrence also scored for Big Walnut, which didn’t lead or trail by more than one goal until the final 50 seconds or so.
The offenses did their thing, but so did the goalies, who combined to stop 27 shots in the game. Caroline Weber stopped 15 shots in the BW goal while Hayes’ Gabrielle Weckerly had 12 saves in the win.
