The Sacred Heart Cathedral girls lacrosse team earned the WBAL Alpine Division title by virtue of their 9-1 record in league. The team led by seniors
Isabella Patnode,
Lyla Simpson,
Parker Nash and goalie
Ameera Demetri. In addition to strong senior leadership, newcomer
Mavis Slagle '28 provided a boost to the offense as a regular goal contributor.
As the Alpine Division champion, the Irish earned the opportunity to move on to WBAL playoffs against Skyline Division champion Woodside. The team competed hard and battled til the final second, but eventually fell to the Wildcats 13-7.
Head Coach Skylar Simpson praised her team for their commitment to hard work and focus from the onset. "The girls set their intentions early on in the season to play at the highest level possible in each contest for each other and for themselves. Their constant effort towards this goal led the team to success in league and the opportunity to compete in playoffs."
The team finished with a 14-3 overall record and are likely to move up to a higher WBAL division for the 2026 season. The junior varsity squad also finished at the top of their WBAL division with a 10-1 record overall.
Coach Simpson expressed gratitude for the season they had. "I am so grateful for the experience of coaching the 2025 varsity girls lacrosse team. There is no better feeling as a coach to watch your team work as a unit, play with passion, and celebrate each other."
Congratulations, team. Go IRISH!!
