The 2017 u14 Mendota Heights Youth Lacrosse team has advanced to the Southeast District Final with a 9-7 win over Inver Grove Heights at Friendly Hills Middle School on Wednesday night.  After a postponement Tuesday night, the game conditions were excellent and the home contest was well attended.

After Inver Grove Heights took a 1-0 lead early in the first quarter, Mendota Heights went on to take a 9-3 lead with several fast break goals.  The Warriors held off the opponent with strong man-down defense late in the game.  

Coached by Chris Andrews, the team faces Northfield at Sechler Park in Northfield Thursday night at 7:15PM.  The winning team will advance to the State Tournament where the top 16 teams will be represented this coming weekend.  

Good luck Warriors!
