La Jolla's fifth-ranked (CIF Open Division) girls lacrosse team, on the strength of a furious 8-2 swamping in the second half, prevailed over Western League rival Scripps Ranch at home, 17-7, on Senior Night at Edwards Stadium Wed., April 26.
Eight seniors were honored before the game, as the Class of '23 celebrated its meshing with five freshmen and other new players this Spring to begin to put up good numbers at the latter part of the season before CIF playoffs begin in two weeks.
Senior Ella Stephens had a hat trick with 11:11 left in the game, and fellow senior Stella Artukovich scored five goals as Coach Kitty Cullen's black-and-red army, wearing white jerseys before the vocal home crowd, marched to a convincing win over the 2021 Open Division champion Falcons after a sluggish first half in which La Jolla gave up four goals at one point (their lead dropping from 6-1 to 7-5).
In the Falcon-Viking rivalry the past two years, La Jolla edged Scripps in last year's Open Division final, 9-8, for the title.
