Time now for some lacrosse. With spring break rapidly coming to a close, we want to give you an update on how Mount Si Lacrosse Club’s girls’ high school lacrosse program is doing at midseason.
The Wildcats are 4-2 on the season, with their most recent game being a 16-8 win April 4 over Lakeside School at home in Snoqualmie. In that game, Alex Kremer had nine, yes, nine goals, one of two games this season in which she has scored that many tallies. Those outputs have helped propel her to a fantastic first half in which she has scored 36 goals already on the campaign. Other players to keep an eye on include Julia Stanley, who had five goals in that game, and Alexa Coughran, who had two goals and three assists. These three players have factored primarily in the offensive efforts thus far for the Mount Si ladies as they look to maintain a strong start to the season when they return from spring break tomorrow taking on a club representing Bellevue School District high schools Newport, Sammamish and Interlake.
Girls’ high school lacrosse, like the boys, is not currently sanctioned as a high school sport in Washington by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association. Their organization, the Washington Schoolgirls’ Lacrosse Association, this spring implemented a new website which has not been providing stats of games involving Mount Si unlike in past years. This has caused us to not cover them until now. We have established a working communication channel with the girls’ program at Mount Si and will be able to regularly run reports for all games in the second half of the schedule. We thank parent Patricia Tamburini for assisting us with this.

Four goals from Vincent help Whitworth women make history: It has been a stellar season for freshman Campbell Vincent, and her success has propelled her college squad to a historic achievement.
Vincent, from North Bend and a 2023 Mount Si HS/Mount Si Lacrosse Club alum, scored four goals for Whitworth University’s ladies helping them sink Linfield University from Oregon 15-12 yesterday over in Spokane. The win secured the first-ever winning season for the Pirates in program history. Whitworth is 5-0 in league play in NCAA Division III’s Northwest Conference and 9-3 overall. The goals for Vincent moved her to 37 on the season, which is one of the top goal totals for a freshman anywhere right now in NCAA Division III. Good stuff for sure and our congrats to Campbell and her teammates.
Freshman Landgraf chips in to another Roanoke men’s rout: 2023 MSHS/MSLC alum Aidan Landgraf pitched in with a couple of assists helping his Roanoke College men’s squad cruise past Virginia Wesleyan 25-3 in a road contest at VW’s field in Virginia Beach, VA. Landgraf is from Snoqualmie. The win moved to Roanoke to 12-2 on the season.
Drought ends for Duvall’s Rezoski: She had not scored a goal at the college level since her freshman year in 2022, but late Friday, Cedarcrest High School alum Emme Rezoski made her return to the score sheet, pocketing a goal for Colorado Mesa University’s ladies in a 17-6 win over in-state rival Fort Lewis of Colorado at home in Grand Junction, CO. Rezoski, from Duvall and who played for Mount Si Lacrosse Club while in high school with Cedarcrest not having a girls’ program, scored five goals as a freshman for the Mavericks. She is a junior this spring with Mesa, an NCAA Division II program.
Valley trio do their thing for Elmhurst men: As has been custom all season, a trio of Valley players pitched in helping their men’s squad from Elmhurst University in Illinois deliver a win. Chris Haycock scored three goals and added two assists, and Eli Spence added a goal and three helpers for the Blue Jays in the 18-1 blowout at home outside Chicago over in-state rival Augustana. Spence, a sophomore, connected with Haycock, a senior, for a goal just before halftime. Freshman Gabe Henry played defense for Elmhurst and recorded a ground ball and forced turnover. All three young men are from Snoqualmie and are MSHS/MSLC alums.
Ducks ladies stunned: Host San Diego State came in to yesterday’s game with the University of Oregon’s ladies with only one win on the season. The Aztecs scored what turned out to be the game-winning goal with about four minutes left in the game, handing the Ducks a stunning 13-12 loss. Sophomore Anna Simmons scored a goal for Oregon in the game. She is from Snoqualmie and a 2022 MSHS/MSLC alum.
