Auburn Hills, MI — The lady jackets had to turn around and play again after their loss yesterday. This time facing Waterford United, another team coming off a tough loss days before. Both teams started the game ready to show they were more than their previous losses, however after some calls not in favor of the lady jackets, the girls lost some spirit. This fired up several new players with Scotland Hopkins showing up again as a rookie defender with several well fought ground balls. After a wake up call from the coaches at half, the girls showed up well in the third quarter. Led by words of encouragement and spirit from returners Kiara Hammond and Kaylin Seale. Hailey Marcum and Legend Henry after taking some hits all game, figured out their draw plan, coming up with several ground balls and draw controls to start the new half. New goalies Trenitee Carroll and Caley Gracey both showed great improvement in the net, recovering from missed stops and finding their mental toughness. Desarae Flentroy also had a spirited ending to the game finding her footing in the midfield and playing some great ball pressure defense. Ultimately the lady jackets fell 17-0 to Waterford, and have the weekend to shake it off before facing Rochester at home Monday at 5pm. Time for us to show you the meaning of our motto 'Sisu' and we hope to see you there!

Auburn Hills, MI — The girls improved on their score against Cass Tech from last year! Cass tech is a strong, quickly growing program, with several players that play travel lacrosse. We hung with them the first quarter and put two goals on the board. Legend Henry scored 1, followed by Alissa Nalou with her first goal! Our new players got their nerves out making their first lacrosse debut, and even gaining possession of the ball a few times. Trenitee Carroll and Caley Gracey each played a half in the net, each making several great saves against some of the best opponents. On defense rookie Scotland Hopkins played solid not leaving the field with the guidance of Ahtziri Fernandez. Midfielders Kiara Hammond, Hailey Marcum, Legend Henry, and Emily Yeokum all stepped up to play some low defense where the team needed them. We have a lot of growing to do but the girls are eager to keep working hard and improving! Next game is tomorrow 5pm at home versus the Kettering Captains.
