Senior Night Squeaker!

Ridge varsity girls lacrosse honors team seniors and then gears up for a wild ride of a game against Hillsborough.

The girls lacrosse team honored its seniors on Thursday night, and then took to the field at Mountain Park for a game against Hillborough that went down to the wire — until Ridge polished off a final 12-11 victory.

The team's season record now is 12-3, said Ridge Athletic Director Rich Shello. The girls are seeded no. 3 in the county tournament behind No.1 and No. 2 Hillsborough, he said.

Pingry has proved a tough opponent for Ridge this season. The team again beat Ridge by 15-14 in a game last Tuesday.
