Two Warriors Named All-County for Girls Lacrosse

Woodbridge Juniors Jenny Buckland (pictured) and Karina Yamasaki were both named Second Team All-County by US Lacrosse for the 2014 Season.

Attacker Karina Yamasaki set a county record for goals scored in a season with 105 goals and led Southern California in ground balls won with 126. She also posted 14 assists and won 63% of her draws to establish herself as one of the premiere draw specialists in the county.

Midfielder Jenny Buckland functioned as the point guard of the Warrior attack, setting a school recored with 27 assists, to go along with 59 goals and 17 forced turnovers. Her pressure defense and full field play led her to a spot on the Orange County/LA WDNT All-Star Team which played in a national tournament in Maryland earlier this month.

It was a truly remarkable season for both of these athletes with even more to come their senior years!

Go Warriors!!!

Woodbridge Girls Lacrosse Wins Tournament Championship

Warrior Lady Lax returned from the Rose Bowl in Pasadena champions of the Blue Division bracket, defeating three of the top teams in Southern California in the process.

The Warriors began the morning with a decisive 11-2 victory against a Glendale squad which made the CIF Southern Section North Division quarterfinals last season. Senior captain Anna Takushi led all scorers with four goals while sophomore Jenny Buckland was a force on defense and in transition and assisted on three goals.

Mid-day saw the Warriors take on the Yorba Linda Mustangs, a match-up which has become a fierce rivalry over the course of several meetings the past three season between the closely matched foes. A back and forth contest ended in a 7-5 Warrior victory, sparked by senior captain Joyce Yang's two goals and determined work in transition as well as clutch play between the pipes by junior goalie Averly Tan.

The afternoon championship contest pitted the Warriors against the preseason #7 team in Orange County, the Trabuco Hills Mustangs. The Warriors built a first half lead around the defensive duo of senior Jiyoo Chang and sophomore Danielle Gonzalez but then saw Trabuco rally at the end of the second half to tie the game at 7 all and send it into overtime. In overtime sophomore attacker Karina Yamasaki, senior attacker Ellie Young, and Anna Takushi made clutch plays which culminated in two unanswered goals and a 9-7 victory.

The victory marks Woodbridge's first tournament title in program history and first victory against a top 10 county opponent - a testament to the hard work and competitive spirit of this remarkable group of girls. Check our schedule elsewhere on the website and make sure to catch this team in action this season!
