Local roundup: York Catholic girls' lacrosse wins wild shootout at York Suburban

The York Catholic and York Suburban girls' lacrosse teams lit up scoreboards from start to finish Tuesday night, with the Fighting Irish pulling away for a 28-18 road victory as they continued their late-season playoff push.

York Catholic jumped out to a 6-3 lead after the opening quarter, held a 12-10 advantage at halftime and was still up just 15-14 in the middle of the third period before scoring the last six goals of the frame. The Irish added another goal at the start of the fourth and kept peppering the net all the way to the final horn. They improved to 9-3 overall and 7-3 in the York-Adams League with their fifth consecutive win.

Senior Katie Bullen, the reigning Y-A Player of the Year, continued her stellar play since returning from a fractured ankle. The East Stroudsburg pledge tallied seven goals and three assists for the Irish on Tuesday, giving her 21 goals and seven helpers in her three games back in the lineup (she has 29 goals and 14 assists in five contests overall).

Bullen wasn't even the York Catholic points leader in this offensive outburst, though. Freshman Amelia Burkey finished with six goals and five assists, while senior Delaney Staples added four goals and three assists. Anna Seufert and Addison Newman notched three goals and two assists apiece; Katelynn Baker scored three times; and Alexa Smith found the net twice while adding an assist. The 28 total goals are the most by a York-Adams team this season.

Cambria Rice scored a game-high 10 goals for the Trojans (6-7, 4-5) , who also received five goals and two assists from Natalie Martin. Piper Clark rounded out the Suburban scoring with three goals and two assists. Rice scored seven times in the first half, while Martin found the net five times after the break.

York Catholic currently sits fifth in the YAIAA standings behind Dallastown, Susquehannock, Red Lion and New Oxford. The Irish beat New Oxford 17-15 last Tuesday and Kennard-Dale 19-18 last Thursday with Bullen back in the fold. They will have a week off before visiting Spring Grove on April 29, while Suburban visits the Rockets on Thursday.
