OLD STICK GAME
Adams, Wilson provide one-two punch in LL lacrosse win
By TOM ROBINSON
For The Dallas Post
hether the measurement is
volume or timing, sophomore
attacker Alyssa Adams has
| shown the ability to be a big-time goal
«producer for the Lake-Lehman girls’ la-
crosse team.
Adams scored a season-high eight
goals Tuesday to lead a 16-4 romp over
(i fivél Dallas. 29 i ;
She came back the next night to score
the game-winning goal with 48 seconds
+! left for.an 8-7 victory over second-place
VE Delaware. Valley, which ‘entered the
_ gamé with an 82 record and losses only
against Wyoming Valley Conference
champion Wyoming Seminary.
“Three girls crashed on me and I just
took a shot,” Adams said of the game-
winner.
Adams has taken many shots for the
Lady Knights, while forming a 1-2 scor-
ing punch with Mallory Wilson.
The two sophomores made a connec-
tion from the time they started playing
together with the Back Mountain Ban-
dits in seventh grade.
Wilson, the daughter of Lake-Lehman
coach Alex Wilson, had been the young-
est player in the program when she
joined in fourth grade and played with
girls as many as seven years older. Ad-
ams joined in three years later and, ac-
Dallas’ Courtney Sickel, left, looks
to pass ahead of Lake-Lehman'’s Col-
leen Spencer in the Old Stick game.
cording to her current coach, immedi-
ately showed the dedication to learning
the sport’s stick work and combining it
with the speed that also helps make her
a starter in field hockey season.
“We've been playing together since I
started,” Adams said. “She’s been playing
longer than me, but we instantly clicked
on the field. From that, we were able to
pass more and help each other out.”
Both have racked up impressive scor-
ing totals with Adams providing more
of the goals and Wilson more of the as-
sists. They are 1-2 on the team in scor-
ing for the second straight season, help-
ing Lake-Lehman to a 6-5 record in the
first season of WVC play.
After each provided three goals and
an assist to the win over Delaware
Valley, Adams has 76 goals and seven
assists. Wilson has 40 goals and 29 as-
sists. They are both over 100 goals for
.. their career with two-plus years to, add.
to those totals.
“Mallory is more the quarterback,”
coach Wilson said. “She scores a lot,
but it is also her job to distribute.”
When Adams went out witha knee-
cap injury last season, Wilson proved
she could score more goals as well.
The two Lake-Lehman teammates fin-
ished first and second in the state in scor-
ing by freshmen among teams that re-
ported their statistics to maxpreps.com.
Wilson had 81 goals and 24 assists.
Adams, who had a pair of nine-goal ef-
forts, had 61 goals and three assists in
just 11 games.
The two high-scoring sophomores
had help in the win over Dallas. Aleah
Blazick matched Wilson in providing
three goals and two assists.
Cara Pritcher and Katie Snedeker
had two goals each for Dallas.
Amelia Jenkins added the other two
Lake-Lehman goals against Delaware
Valley.

Mountaineer
netmen
better last
year s record
By TOM ROBINSON
For The Dallas Post
Dallas entered the boys tennis sea-
son with the uncertainty of an inex-
perienced lineup.
Despite, that inexperience, the
Mountaineers wrapped up the team
portion of their schedule by advanc-
ing one round further in the District
2 Class AA tournament and match-
ing last season’s 8-5 record.
“My goal every year is to make the
district playoffs,” coach Joe Pugliese
said. “We did that again this year and
came into districts as the No. 4 seed,
which was a good accomplishment
for our team.
“It’s a little better than expected
coming in with an inexperienced
team.”
The Mountaineers defeated Ber-
wick, 4-1, in the team semifinals
Monday. They advanced to Tues-
day’s semifinals where they fell to
then-undefeated Wyoming Semi-
nary, 3-0.
Dallas swept the singles matches
in its home playoff against Berwick.
Francois Ross downed Luke Whit-
enight, 6-1, 6-0, at No. 1; Tyler Tuck
defeated Dom Scicchitano, 6-1,
6-3, at No. 2; and Aleksey Gitelson
topped Blake Whitmire, 6-2, 6-0, at
No. 3.
Ross earned a seventh seed in
the individual district tournament,
which began Thursday, based on his
singles play throughout the season.
Gitelson had the team’s best sin-
gles record, going 9-2.
Steve Wempa and Colton Powell
gave Dallas a point at No. 1 doubles
by beating Berwick’s Nick Oliver
and Cole Gardner, 6-0, 6-3.
James Garringer and Arlinson
Reyes of Berwick defeated Frank
Hullihen and Nick Mouldoon, 6-2,
64, at No. 2.
“A few of the guys that had very
little experience from last year that
got to play most of the matches this
year did very well,” Pugliese said.
“Colton Powell did very well playing
doubles for us.
“Frank Hullihen is a junior who
had never played on a team before.
This is his first year but he did very
well.”
Hullihen was in the lineup for ev-
ery match, splitting time between
first and second doubles.
The doubles teams did their best
to extend matches against Wyoming
Seminary in the district semifinals
before the competition was halted
when the Blue Knights clinched the
victory with three singles points.
Wempa and Powell were tied, 44,
in the second set after dropping
the first set to Matt Cartwright and
Grant Klinger. Hullihen and Mould-
oon took the first set to a tiebreaker
against Peter Valentiner and Matt
Obeid.
The Blue Knights, who fell to
Scranton Prep, 3-2, in the champi-
onship match, won by taking all but
five games in the six sets of singles
play.
