CONWAY — The Kennett High girls’ lacrosse team made history last Tuesday when the Eagles netted the first win as a varsity program, topping Laconia 17-11 on the road.

“I’m so proud of these girls,” said Jennifer Laine, Eagles’ head coach. “This is a moment for this program to celebrate. A lot of lacrosse is a battle of wills and last Tuesday was a very hot day. The heat just radiated off the turf. We have tremendous depth and athletic ability. My philosophy was to sub early and often and have everyone work their butts off when they were out there. (Laconia) didn’t have as much depth and we capitalized on that. I have so many kids who want to learn and grow in this sport, it makes it a really fun way to win.”
