Girls Lacrosse Round-up - April 9-17 - Loudoun Valley Knocks off Oakton

(Apr. 19, 2010) - The Loudoun Valley and Stone Bridge girls lacrosse teams haven't scheduled each other this season so the Vikes and Bulldogs will have to battle it out in the standings and thus far both teams are ranked in the Top 10 in the state of Virginia by LaxPower.

After a win over Oakton Saturday, the 5-1 Vikes are No. 4 and the top-ranked public high school. Last year Valley went 19-1 with the only loss to eventual VHSL state champion Chantilly in the state semifinals. Valley's only loss this season, was by a goal in the opener to private Bishop Ireton. The Vikes have quality wins over Langley and Battlefield.

Stone Bridge is 6-1 and ranked No. 10. The Bulldogs lone loss was by one goal also, to Liberty District foe Langley.
