Katie Bachli made seven saves to earn the win for the Azalea team.

 

"The The girls had a blast," Mount Greylock coach Lindsey von Holtz said. "It is always fun to play with the athletes you have competed all year against, it helps with sportsmanship in the county. The game also helps encourage the athletes to keep working on their skills as it is enjoyable to play at a level of the best in the county.

 

"The players created a Facebook group after the game to be able to arrange meetings during the summer for some pick-up games or a summer league so that the skill level in the county can continue to increase and so that players don’t put down their sticks for too long."

 

The Azalea team's other goals came from Mount Greylock's Maggie Rorke (three) and Julia Whitney, Pittsfield's Shea Hassett (two), Hoosac Valley's Aubrey Rumbolt and Wahconah's Shaina Farrell.
