WOODSTOWN – The picture and the poster make it official.
Woodstown’s Emma Morgan scored three goals, including the 100th of her career, and had a hand in the go-ahead goal late in the fourth quarter to help the Wolverines’ girls lacrosse team edge Cinnaminson 9-7 Monday morning.
There was some thought the senior scored her milestone goal Saturday when the Wolverines (3-0) swamped Washington Twp. 21-3. They had the traditional commemorative poster ready for her and everything. But a miscommunication left her on 99. Not to worry; she was confident it was going to come sooner than later.
Morgan notched No. 100 with her first goal with 6:26 left in the first quarter that got Woodstown on the board after the Pirates (1-2) scored the first two goals of the game. It took only 16 seconds to get No. 101 to tie the game 2-2, and then she scored again later in the game.
She took the picture with the poster Monday.
“They thought I got it last game so I was kind of aware already it was coming, but I didn’t let it affect me at all,” she said. “This game was scrappy so every goal you had to really earn, which makes you feel better.”
Morgan became the second 100-goal scorer in the Wolverines’ lineup when she scored her first goal of the game. Delaney Walker ran her career total to 180 with two goals. The school record is 236 by Abigail Evans (2015-2018). Arianna Hyman also scored three goals and Angeline Lindenmuth scored once.
“It’s amazing,” Walker said. “I feel like me and Emma have been kicking butts all around the corner and think we’ve done so well together. We’ve been playing together since fifth grade and we just know. We don’t even have to talk to each other, we just directly know how to work together.”
“They do a good job of that,” coach Chris Murray agreed.
The Wolverines overcame adversity three times in the game to earn a measure of revenge for last year’s chippy loss to the Pirates.
They trailed 2-0 and tied it. They fell back 3-2, then scored four straight goals in the second quarter to take a 6-3 halftime lead. The Pirates rallied on the power play to tie it 7-7, then Woodstown’s Arianna Hyman scored twice in the final 2:39 to put it away.
“That was my big thing with them – don’t get in your head and play … your … game,,” Murray said. “They didn’t panic. They stayed calm and collected and played their game and came out with a win. That was big for us.”
Hyman broke the 7-7 tie when she collected the rebound off Morgan’s shot and fired it past the Cinnaminson goalie. Lizzy Daly picked off a Cinnaminson attack in the defensive end, got the ball up to Morgan who fired a long shot on goal that was knocked away, but Hyman was right there to follow it in. Hyman then gave them some insurance when she was stoned on an original shot in the crease, got it back from Angeline Lindenmuth and buried the second chance with 67 seconds to go.
“Last game we were worried about maybe getting face-guarded, Delaney and I, but I’m like let them because we have such a good arsenal of girls that they we’re all getting numbers on the stat board, which is amazing,” Morgan said. “I had no doubt if I didn’t make it someone on my team was going to get that and finish it.
“It’s nice to have that confidence and trust in all my teammates. It’s not just like Delaney and I running the show or something. We all contribute and do so well with each other. We made it, that’s all that mattered.”
