Bristol Central’s girls lacrosse team went back and forth against a feisty coop squad from Middletown/Coginchaug on Monday evening. 

And for the second time over a six-day period, the Middletown contingent was able to hang a loss on a squad from Bristol. 

After defeating Bristol Eastern by a 12-11 push on April 4, Middletown was able to just sneak by the Rams over an 8-7 final from the turf field at BCHS. 

Middletown improved to 2-0 overall while Central fell to 1-1 on the campaign. 

“Tough loss at home to Middletown tonight,” said Central coach Kyle Phelan via Twitter. 

Kaylynn LaPointe led the scoring charge for Central with four goals while Rachel Wygant added two. 

Emily Lowe also netted a score for the home team. 

The defense hung in as Central allowed just eight goals in the contest, giving the offense chances over match play to keep pace. 

“[The] defense and Amy [Pelletier] played tough!” said Phelan.  

The Rams look to get back in the win column on Thursday in a CCC South confrontation against Lewis Mills. 

Match time is set for noon from the turf field at Bristol Central. 

NOTES…Central’s match against Wolcott on Friday is going to be changed to 2:30 p.m. instead of its original time of 6 p.m.….Keep Tuesday April 25 open as Central and Eastern battle it out at 7 p.m. from Alumni Field on the campus of BEHS in a city series explosion.
