WHS girls’ lax hit road block

EAST LONGMEADOW – The East Longmeadow High School girls’ lacrosse team made life a bit more difficult for the Westfield Bombers.
East Longmeadow defeated visiting Westfield 17-11 Friday night, forcing the Bombers into a must-win situation in its final two games (West Springfield, Belchertown) to qualify for the postseason.
“It was a hard fought game,” Westfield coach Paul Fenwick said. “If we hit a couple of balls a little bit different, it would have changed the whole game.”
Brittany Hutchison, Ashlee O’Conner, and Mackenzie Millikan scored two goals apiece to lead Westfield. Bombers’ defenseman Rachel Lacey also raced the length of the field to net a goal.
Westfield goalie Victoria Meneses collected 11 saves.
