The Everett High School girls lacrosse team (1-5) got untracked in a very big way against host Revere on April 11. They totally dominated the Patriots to the tune of 12-2.

The Tide scorers against the Patriots were Amanda Verteiro, Christine Laforest, Tring Dang, Brigitte Reyes Cortez and Victoria Rodrigues.

The Everett girls then had to deal with the wind and rain, not to mention non-league Lowell at Lowell’s Cawley Stadium the very next day, where they were shutout, 9-0. Goalie Khadija Ailane made 14 saves to keep things relatively close on the scoreboard.

Everett then faced Somerville for the second time this year. It was once again played in the rain. The game took place at Glendale Park on April 18, where the home team lost to the Highlanders, 13-4. They also lost the first time around on April 5, 12-2. Freshman goalie Allia Polynice made her varsity debut, and she ended up stopping six shots.

“The spirits were high, despite the pouring rain,” said first-year head coach Chelsea McNiff.

Last Saturday (April 20) at Malden, the Tide girls were shutout by the Golden Tornadoes, 10-0. It was a much more competitive game in the second half after the home team scored nine times before halftime.

“Our defense was excellent in the second half, especially from the likes of Tanessa Duvilaire, Jackie Sampaio and Aura Linhares,” said McNiff.

The Tide took on Revere again on April 25 after press deadline, before getting ready for non-league host Methuen Tuesday (April 30), starting at 5 p.m.
