This season, the Lamar Women’s JV Lacrosse team were undefeated on their home turf. Captains Sophia Chong-Ahmed, Noor Malik and Isabel Franks led the team and Iris Elias joined as captain when Chong-Ahmed was moved to Varsity near the end of the season.

Seven wins were against Memorial High School, Bellaire High School, Pearland High School, St. John’s School B, Stratford High School, The Kinkaid School and Episcopal High School. Losses were to Cy-Fair High School, The Woodlands High School, St. John’s School A and Kingwood High School.

St. Agnes Academy organized and hosted a JV End of Season Tournament on April 15 and 16. Lamar won both games on Friday against Kinkaid 9-5 and Awty International School 15-3. On Saturday, they beat Stratford 15-10 to advance, but lost to the Woodlands, 7-14.

Goalies Alexis Bernazzi and Lauren Lynch had 31 saves over the four tournament games and were significant in the wins.

The Lamar team is made up of girls from Lamar High School, Michael E. DeBakey High School for the Health Professions, St. Pius X, and High School for the Performing and Visual Arts and Glenda Dawson High School in Pearland. They were coached by Ana Vick and Rachel Westbrook.
