Whether scoring late in the first half or clamping down on defense in the second half, Stillwater never allowed the girls’ lacrosse Section 4 finals to elude its grasp.

The fifth-ranked Ponies defeated dogged Hill-Murray 13-8 on Wednesday at White Bear Lake High School and earned their ninth-consecutive state tournament appearance.

“We knew this was going to be a really tough game,” Stillwater junior forward Meredith Parry said. “Hill-Murray was an amazing team and we’re so glad to have that type of game going into the state tournament.”
