Lake-Lehman ended Wyoming Seminary’s District 2 girls lacrosse reign and Crestwood fought off an upset bid by Wyoming Area Monday to advance to Wednesday’s Class 2A championship game.
Madison Lasinski scored three goals and three teammates added two each as a balanced attack allowed Lake-Lehman to become the first team to ever beat Wyoming Seminary in a district playoff game, 12-6.
