Lax Seniors Enjoy Celebration, Despite Loss

Girls' lacrosse held a post-game celebration, after a loss to Mt. Lebanon Thursday, where each graduating senior was given a tribute.

After a tough loss to Mt. Lebanon Thursday, the team now stands 11-2 (only one loss counting in WPIAL play).

A post-game celebration followed last night's game, where seniors were given tributes. Brenda Schwartz—mom of Torrey, a senior—told Patch that there were plenty of tears. 

"This is a very close team," she said. "They will be missed."
