FALL RIVER: Three Fall River-area girls are brimming with smiles after winning bronze with Nova Scotia last week at the Box Lacrosse Nationals.
The tournament was held in the Halifax region.
Isla Carson and Lila Munroe of Windsor Junction and Fall River’s Olivia Doyle are the three known locals who competed with the Under-13 girls squad. (This is information that we were told).
N.S. started the tournament off strong with a 5-0 defeat of their Maritime rivals N.B. Carson had two goals and an assist.
However, they fell 15-0 to B.C. in their second game.
The bluenosers got back on track with an 8-3 defeat of Saskatchewan with two goals from Carson followed by a loss to Ontario (the website says it was a 0-0 tie but it was not).
