TROY — Bloomfield Hills Sacred Heart is traditionally one of the best girls lacrosse programs in the state, with a program deep in tradition. The Gazelles reiterated that fact to Troy Athens Wednesday night.
Sacred Heart rolled over host Athens 12-6 in a Division 2 regional opener to advance to the second round.
“They are a very good team, always a good team,” said Athens coach Rob Holder, whose team finished the season 7-10-0. “We are still a young team and they have a lot of veterans.
The Gazelles (16-1-0) was paced by multiple goal scorers, including Lindsey Crowl, who notched the hat trick. Katilin Brown and Kati Mezwa both had two goals apiece and Bella Yzerman had a goal and three assists for Sacred Heart, which will play Rochester on June 1, at 6 p.m., also at Athens.
Kathryn Wellein finished with two goals for the Red Hawks. Jena Peterson, Jennifer Radowick, Monique Thakur and Lindsey Kinaia also scored for Athens.
“This is a very tough region,” admitted Holder.”When you have teams like Sacred Heart (Bloomfield Hills) Cranbrook, and (Pontiac) Notre Dame Prep in your region, it’s going to be tough.”
