MUNDELEIN 9 BARRINGTON 6 (GIRLS)

Siobhan Larsen scored 5 goals to lead the Mustangs to an 9-6 opening-round win over Barrington in the Lake County Tournament on Monday evening. The Mustangs used a 4-0 first half run to build a lead over the Fillies that proved to be insurmountable.

 

Emily Laning put the Fillies ahead 1-0, but Maura Coughlin and Nikki Andre responded with quick goals and Mundelein took a 2-1 lead midway through the opening period. Janna Nagle evened the score at 2-2 with a goal for Barrington, but Siobhan Larsen put Mundelein back ahead 3-2 at the end of the first quarter. The Mustangs exploded in the second period, as Alice Denny scored quickly, followed by goals from Larsen and Kristen Aucutt to increase the lead to 6-2. Jacie Dick helped the Fillies get closer before the half as she scored her first goal on a man-up situation to make the score 6-3 at halftime.

 

In the second half, Larsen tallied her third goal to put Mundelein ahead 7-3, but Dick kept things close with a penalty shot goal and cut the advantage to 7-4. Lizzie Stetson made the score 7-5 with score late in the third period, and Christine Byron got the Fillies within one goal of Mundelein at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Larsen would prove to be too difficult to contain for Barrington, as she scored the final two goals of the game to put things away for the Mustangs in their 9-6 win.
