WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. -- The Mount Greylock girls lacrosse team defeated Wahconah Friday evening, 9-8, under the lights on John T. Allen Field.

 

Wahconah took an early lead at half-time 6-3, but the Mounties did not back down; scoring six in the second half to steal the lead and take the victory.

 

"Both teams played so well," Wahconah coach Kathy Budaj said. "But if I can say there was a good loss, this was it."

Flynn scored the Mounties final goal with 5:48 remaining in the game to break the 8-8 tie after Greylock took their first lead of the game at 8-7 over the Warriors.
