After a two-week break, the Ballard High School lacrosse team picked up right where it left off in a 10-9 win over Klahowya April 6.

The Beavers headed into the break with a one-point win over Bainbridge and have now evened their record at 2-2.

Ballard had a slim 8-7 lead at halftime and played harder and smarter than Klahowya in the second half to ensure the win, coach Lise Martin said.

"They trusted each other to work as a team to eat up the clock once we were ahead and made wise decisions not to go to the goal and jeopardize the lead," Martin said.

Jayne Barnes, Kelsey Barta and Maddie Soukup had two goals apiece for Ballard.

Dayan Flynn-Walsh, Allison Jackson, Haley Jackson and Kelsey Mendenhall contributed goals as well.

Goalie Hannah Breton had 14 saves in the match.

With two wins, Ballard has already matched its season total from last year.

Martin said it's nice as a new program to grow and develop over the previous season.

"We have many factors against us when we go to compete, being a young team only in its second season but also having no seniors and many freshman," she said. "So, every one win feels great."

The Beavers shoot for a winning record at 6 p.m. on April 9 against hosting Mercer Island.
