The Warriors took bragging rights along with the inaugural High School Division championship of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Youth Lacrosse League, defeating the Blue Angles 11-10 in the spring season title game at Holiday Park.

Midfielder Ali Battista went the length of the field in the game's waning moments to score the winning goal.

"Both teams showed a remarkable level of speed, agility and stickwork skills, " program director Bob Motta said.

The Warriors were led by Brooke Kennedy, Erin Kelley and Devin Kelly. The midfield was led by Battista and Katie Ropes. Rachel Adkins and Kristie Newbauer anchored the defense and Lauren Battista hung tough in goal. The Warriors were coached by John Kelley.

"These were some of the most incredible girls I ever had the privilege to play with," said Warriors captain Ropes, a Cardinal Gibbons student who hopes to play college lacrosse.

Leading the Blue Angels were attackers Megan Harmon, Cheyenne Allenby and Sarah Motta. At midfield were Lindsey Labate, Katherine Clementi and Jasmine Docal. On defense were Lauren Holsinger and Lane Sasser. Shantel Jairam and Madison Ravine shared goalkeeping duties. The team was coached by Terri Docal.

The Golden Tater Tots and the Stingrays tied for third place.

The lacrosse league signed up about 75 players for its first season. Although interest among girls has been slow in other South Florida leagues starting up, the Fort Lauderdale league, operated through the East Broward Family YMCA, found its greatest interest to be among the girls.

"In this first season, the league registered more than 40 girls," Motta said.

The league will offer summer and fall seasons and four summer lacrosse camps for girls. Registration for summer season and the camps is underway.
