The Lady Tigers rebounded from a tough one-goal loss to Pine-Richland on Thursday to win two games at the North Hills Playday on Saturday.  NA defeated host North Hills, 10-2, in the first game and Seneca Valley, 9-2, in game two.  The North Hills Playday is in its third year and is played in honor of two NH lacrosse players, Brandy Hartman and Grant Rava who lost their lives in an October 25, 2002, car accident while returning from a college visit.

It was a big day for the Lady Tigers who were coming off a tough loss to Pine-Richland that Head Coach Harry Datz said "felt more like a win that any other game we have played.  The team came together last Thursday and proved that they can play with the best teams in the league."  The two wins improved the NA record to 3-5 on the season.  The Lady Tigers will be back in action again on Tuesday night when they travel to Shaler for a 7:00 pm contest.
