PHILLIPSBURG — The North Hunterdon girls lacrosse team opened up its game against Phillipsburg with seven goals in the first 10 minutes to cruise to a 14-2 victory over the Stateliners on the road.
Senior Nicole Perez was unstoppable offensively for North Hunterdon with seven goals by using her speed as the fastest player on the field to zip through the Phillipsburg defense. After senior Maeve Green scored the first goal of the game for North Hunterdon in the first minute, Perez went on a run of three consecutive goals in the next three minutes to give the Lions a 4-0 early lead.
“We were placing our shots well and didn’t have many shots straight to the goalie,” said Perez.
“Nicole just knows how to get it done,” said Ditze. “She has been playing for four years on the varsity level and has the most experience on the team. When that ball is in her stick she figures out a way to get it into that cage.”
