The Spring-Ford girls had a shot, but lost 16-9 to North Penn lacrosse on Tuesday
As the clouds covered the sky at the start of the girls lacrosse District One first round game at North Penn High School, the Spring-Ford girls lacrosse team were in a familiar place. Just a few weeks ago, the Rams defeated North Penn, 12-10 at Spring-Ford High School. Unfortunately, things wouldn't look so familiar by the middle of the first half.
