Lacrosse: Park View Girls and Boys Wins First Games in Five Seasons!

(Mar. 22, 2010) - The Park View High School girls lacrosse team snapped an nearly 40-game long losing streak Monday with a 13-3 win at Wakefield. It was the Patriots first win in five seasons. And Park View wasn't finished on the night as the boys snapped a similar skid, defeating Wakefield, 8-5.

Patriot girls lacrosse coach Kathy Koscinski said the program's last win was on May 8, 2006 -- an 11-10 win over then first-year school Briar Woods. And LaxPower.com shows the Patriots boys last win also coming on May 8, 2006, a 7-5 win over Briar Woods.

"It was an awesome experience, especially for the three captains who have played for four years and never experienced a lacrosse win," reported Koscinski after the historic victory. "What I love most about these girls is they work hard and have fun no matter what the score is. We go out there every game giving our best and working hard."

"It was awesome! We felt like we made our school proud!"

Continued Koscinski: "Sometimes we get crushed on the scoreboard but they play like it is a tie game. Last night it was crazy to see the scoreboard go up and up! I am so proud of them, not just for winning, but for who each young woman is to our program. The first call we made from the field was to (athletic director Joe) Breinig and the girls were just screaming in the phone. It was awesome! We felt like we made our school proud!
