The Alexandria Lacrosse Club Girls 5th/6th grade UB1 team won the G56UB Northern Virginia Youth Lacrosse League Championship, finished first in the G56UB standings, and became the first ALC girls’ team to complete an undefeated season including the playoffs. After finishing tied for first place in the regular season, the girls lost the coin toss and were seeded second going into the playoffs. On June 1, they defeated a seventh-seeded Fort Hunt team 12-10 to reach the semifinals. The following Saturday, they battled Vienna’s G56UB2 team, which came from behind to tie the game in the last minute, resulting in sudden death overtime. Thanks to a save by goalie Lexi Rakis, and the winning shot by Erica Harwood, the girls won and returned on Sunday, June 8, to face the undefeated Vienna G56UB1 team. The girls maintained a lead from early in the first half through the end of regulation, and defeated the second Vienna team 12-10. The team was coached by Katie DaRin, John Siegel and Roland Reynolds.
