The public address announcer at Hersheypark Stadium read the starting lineups for Conestoga and Garnet Valley, the finalists for the 2015 PIAA girls lacrosse title.
A few Jaguars shared a hearty laugh when they heard their won-loss record over the sound system. Seventeen wins sounded good, but the nine losses? That’s funny.

Saturday afternoon, Garnet Valley completed its journey by defeating favorite Conestoga, 14-10, to claim its second straight PIAA championship.
Junior All-America Emily Mathewson led the way with five goals and two assists as the Jaguars (18-9) rebounded from an early 4-0 deficit to down the favored Pioneers (23-4).
