Girls Varsity Lacrosse advanced to the West Bay Athletic League Championship with a 7-6 win over Sequoia in the semifinals on Thursday evening.  The Dons completed their comeback after a goal from junior midfielder Emma Clarke with 8:20 remaining tied the contest at 6-6.  Clarke then scored the game winner with 1:31 remaining on a break away goal off transition.  It appeared Sequoia had tied the game 7-7 on a free position shot with 1:11 on the clock but the goal was called off due to an illegal stick and the Dons were able to run out the clock.  Clarke finished the game with 3 goals and 1 assist.  Senior midfielder Julianna Glafkides also added 3 goals and junior attack player Kate Fitzgerald scored once.     

The Dons struggled with possession in the first half, trailing 1-3 at the break, but junior goalie Gaby Navarro kept the team in it with 6 huge saves.  Navarro finished with 14 saves and received a lot of support from a stellar defense.  Defender Allie Kotowitz helped the Dons overcome their early struggles, finishing with 4 caused turnovers and 4 ground ball controls.
