Pearl River Girls Lacrosse Holds Off Mamaroneck Rally

The Pearl River girls lacrosse team saw their seven-goal advantage dwindle to one during the second half of Monday's contest at Pearl River, but the Pirates found a way to stop the rally.

Senior midfielder Lauren Cook scored twice in the final nine minutes and Katie Creagh added a goal to help Pearl River hold off Mamaroneck, 15-12, to improve to 3-0-1 on the season.

"The best thing about today was we didn't get down on ourselves when Mamaroneck started to come back," Pearl River coach Laurie Mayernik said. "We just settled down and got the job done."

Cook scored three goals in the game and assisted on two more. Her younger sister, Allison, and junior Kiera McMullen each had three goals and an assist. Senior midfielder Maddie Wilson led the Pirates offensively with four goals and three assists.

Abby Baigelman led Mamaroneck with four goals and two assists.

Pearl River will play Tappan Zee 4:15 p.m. today at home.

Pearl River 15, Mamaroneck 12
