By Gary Steiner
SJSports Staff Writer

The growth of girls lacrosse in South Jersey has caused some teams to take some long bus rides, as happened today when the Lady Tigers for Lower Cape May visited the Lady Bears of Delran. There are still only 24 girls lacrosse teams which make up the Olympic Conference, whereas in other sports you have enough teams to make more geographically compatible divisions. Thus, the Lady Tigers had to endure a 90 mile trip to play this game. They showed the inexperience of their first year program, as Delran sent them back home with a 17-1 loss.

Friday, April 26, 2002

By Mike Williams
SJSports Special Correspondent

ATLANTIC CITY - Game two on Friday night versus the Dayton Bombers was a game that the Atlantic City Boardwalk Bullies absolutely needed. A worst-case scenario for the Bullies saw them heading to Dayton down two games to none in the East Coast Hockey League's best-of-five Northern Conference final. Instead, Atlantic City's work on the night made for a whole new series in a night fraught with dicey moments for the home club. The Bullies used four goals on the power play to hold onto a 4-3 win over the Bombers before 4,192 at Boardwalk Hall. Daniel Lacroix's goal with 1:10 nailed down the win. Shawn Degagne made 30 saves for the Bullies.

The extra innings shouldn't have surprised anyone when you have two pitchers with good control on the mound. Freshman Randi Cifelli has been excellent this season pitching for Highland. Also having a successful start was the veteran Alexis Switenko from Winslow Township (6-2, 4-0). This low scoring game lasted until the tenth inning when Winslow Township scored 6 runs to defeat their Patriot Division opponent 8-2. Switenko recorded the win pitching every inning, striking out 14 and not allowing an earned run.
