AVON, April 15, 2023 – The Avon High girls lacrosse team erased an early three-goal deficit to outlast Northwest Catholic, 20-11 on Saturday in a Central Connecticut Conference game on the field turf.
Avon High sophomore Lily Wood led all scorers with 11 goals and two assists with teammate Kelly Hayes getting six goals with three assists for nine points. Alexa Blaha had a goal and four assists for the Falcons. Wood has now scored 21 goals in three games while Hayes scored 15.
