It was certainly an interesting turn-of-events\u00a0for the\u00a0District\u00a0XI\u00a0girls\u00a0lacrosse championships!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite an ominous forecast, the decision was made to go ahead with the title game last Wednesday.\u00a0\u00a0It\u00a0seemed to be\u00a0the correct decision as a quick thunderstorm blew through the game site 20 minutes before the scheduled start of the\u00a0game\u00a0and the radar looked like it was going to allow both contests to be played with a delayed start.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As the winds and sheets of rain picked up however, the Lehigh University’s stadium lights and scoreboard blew out and it quickly became apparent that the facility was without power (the teams and officials were locked down in a completely dark room with no windows as the rain and winds howled outside).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After a 90-minute wait (and no\u00a0indication\u00a0the power would be fixed anytime soon), the decision was made to delay the games 24 hours. When the games were eventually played, there were even more fireworks.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Southern Lehigh won a record setting sixth consecutive district championship in the 2A title game.\u00a0\u00a0In the 3A nightcap, Nazareth held a 10-5 lead with\u00a0roughly 8\u00a0minutes left in the third quarter before Rylee Rath took over the game.\u00a0\u00a0She not only dominated the draw controls for the\u00a0remainder\u00a0of the\u00a0night\u00a0but she ended up with seven goals (and two assists), as Pleasant Valley won the championship in overtime. (The Blue Eagles actually trailed by a goal late before they tied the game and forced\u00a0OT.)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
