Building on Success

All Santa Margarita Camp Participants who attended the East West Lacrosse Camp

Building on a successful first year, a year in which many players were introduced to the sports for the first time, 11 Santa Margarita Womens Lacrosse Players traveled north to UC Santa Barbara to attend the East West Lacrosse Camp. At the camp the players improved their game knowledge and skills, participating in drills and scrimmages that improved their skills and added to their knowledge of the game.

Coaching Changes

I’m thrilled to announce that Chris Driggs will be the Boys Head Coach effective immediately. Many of you know Coach Driggs through the OC Starz and Earthquake Lacrosse programs. Coach Driggs, a four-year letterman for the University of Virginia Men’s Lacrosse team (’91-’94), played high school lacrosse in Maryland at John Carroll School and also played Major League Lacrosse - including time with the Los Angeles Riptide.

He has been the coach of St Mary’s for the last 3 years and played an integral part in the formation of the PAL league. He comes with great coaching credentials, the reputation of running a tight ship and winning! Coach Driggs main focus will be on hiring new lower level coaches and obviously coaching.

So on behalf of the SMCHS and the Lacrosse program - Welcome Coach Driggs!

I will be moving up to the role of Director of Lacrosse for SMCHS and overseeing both the Boys and Girls lacrosse programs. In this role I will handle all the administrative aspects of the program and helping out with coaching. With 5 teams and over 175 players for the upcoming season, I felt it was important to focus on the organization of the program and to insure that the programs continue to be successful and prosper!

Thank You,

Dan Perry
SMCHS Director of Lacrosse

Mens Varsity outlasts Newport Harbor, 11-10

Junior attackman Justin Gabriel scored the game-winning goal with 10.4 seconds remaining to give Santa Margarita Catholic an 11-10 victory over Newport Harbor in a CIF-Southern Section game Wednesday afternoon.

Gabriel took a feed from junior attackman Jack Cranston on a two-on-one fast break and fired home the clincher from about seven yards out to give Santa Margarita (6-2) its second straight victory.

Cranston finished with a game-high five points on a goal and four assists, Gabriel scored four goals and senior middie Ryan Finneran scored twice for Santa Margarita, which has won five of its last six games. Senior long-stick middie Michael Fice added a goal and an assist, and seniors Omair Syed and Dan Applegate added single goals.

Lady Eagles defeat Diablos

After four back-to-back games, the SMCHS women’s lacrosse team found themselves on their home field again on Saturday for a match up against the Mission Viejo High School women’s JV team. The Diablos scored first, but the Eagles responded with three unanswered goals. Mission then scored with just under nine minutes in the half, and Sophomore Caitlin Viar responded taking Mission Viejo into the half with a score of 4 to 2. After the half Viar scored off a penalty shot, and the Diablos answer with another goal. Viar scored again off an assist from Freshman Kelsey Tabor, and Junior Cassie Mazolewski posted a goal with Junior Allie Campbell booking an assist. Then Sophomore Erica Henson put another point on the score board unassisted. The Mission team was running out of gas but found the fuel to make another shot with five minutes left to play. Mazolewski scored another, and the Diablos made it exciting with a goal just before the buzzer. Freshman goalie Lindsey Garn made six saves and books another win with a final score of 9 to 6. Coaches Michelle and Jen Van Alstine are pleased with the first-year women’s lacrosse team’s record so far – 6 wins, 1 tie, and 1 loss.

The ladies will take some well deserved time off and then get ready for their next game against Aliso Niguel on April 1st

Women take "double header" against El Toro Chargers

On Friday night, the women’s team, led by coaches Michelle and Jen Van Alstine, played El Toro Junior Varsity A & B teams on the turf at Santa Margarita. The Eagles came out strong outscoring the Chargers B team 5 to 0 during the first half of the first game. Sophomore Caitlin Viar scored with an assist from Freshman Kelsey Tabor to get the momentum rolling. Then Junior Allie Campbell scored two, one assisted by Junior Maddie Holloway. Holloway and Tabor each scored unassisted to take the Eagles into half-time. In the second half, Viar took the tip off to the goal, and Junior Cassie Mazolewski posted two goals off penalty shots. The Chargers fought hard gaining four goals in the second half. Freshman goalie Lindsey Garn booked 10 saves and the win with an 8 to 4 final score.

The Eagles then took the field again to face the Chargers A team in a very physical match up. Sophomore Erica Henson set the tone with the first goal at just under three minutes into the first half. Then the Chargers posted their first goal nearly fifteen minutes into the game. Santa Margarita answered with three goals booked by Mazolewski, Holloway, and Viar. Chargers then scored again just thirty seconds before the half taking the teams into halftime at 4 to 2. El Toro came out after the half with a vengeance and scored. Then Viar responded taking the tip off to the goal. After nearly ten minutes of “smashmouth” lacrosse, Viar scored again for the Eagles with ten minutes left to play. El Toro charged back, scoring two more, but they were denied the win by Garn. The Eagles came out victorious ending the game with a 6 to 5 final score.
