Girls Lacrosse Moves on to State Quarterfinals
On May 14th, the girls lacrosse team scored five unanswered goals within the first few minutes and never looked back in a 17-5 win over Smyrna in the first round of DIAA State Tournament. At home on the lower turf, Archmere dominated the draws, defense was resilient, and a barrage of offensive scorers controlled the narrative against the Eagles. Ciara Knapp '26 scored the first goal for Archmere within 41 seconds of the match, setting the stage for a fast paced Archmere offense and a spot in the Quarterfinals.
Mike Lang of the Dialog covered the game, writing, "Archmere’s defense was tough in the first half, but nearly impenetrable in the second. The Auks held the Eagles scoreless in the third while adding another six goals themselves. Oliver and Knapp closed out the Auks’ scoring early in the fourth, extending the team’s scoring run to nine goals."
In total, Claudia Koch '26 had five goals to lead the Auks, with Marley Brown '24, Lucy Oliver '24 and Ciara Knapp '26 adding hat tricks. Ellie DeLuca '27 had a goal and a team-leading three assists, while Ellie DiCarlo '24 had eight saves. Archmere and Cape Henlopen will play at noon on Saturday in Lewes in the State Quarterfinals.
