Junior midfielder Briana Kimble had a three-goal, six assist effort and classmate Sarah Johnson had four goals to lead Hilton to a 15-9 girls lacrosse victory as part of Spencerport’s Lax Fest supporting the More Than a Game Foundation that featured five games in one day.
After the Rangers used a patient approach of ball control and took a 1-0 lead on a goal by freshman Brianna Morphet assisted by Alexis Zicari, Hilton ran off five unanswered goals.
Monica Messina, Kimble, Leia Hayward, Johnson and Lexi Graham all tallied within 3:37 of each other for a 5-1 lead.
The Rangers then scored four of the next five goals to pull back into the contest. Aubrianna Benedetto used her speed off a draw for one tally, Rayna Plouffe scored twice and Morphet scored on a spin move to cut the Cadet lead to one.
Andrea Pascucci scored twice to start the second half while Benedetto added another for the Rangers while Hilton got goals from Anai Flanagan and Maddie Siclair as the game was tied 8-8 with twelve minutes remaining.
But Hilton ran off seven consecutive goals – two from Kimble, three from Johnson and another by Danielle Wilkin to put the game out of reach.
The Cadets improved their season record to 10-2 while Spencerport fell to 5-6.
