The No. 10-ranked Denver East girls lacrosse overcame Chaparral High at home on April 7 with a dominating second half performance that resulted in a 21-11 victory.

Although the game appeared to be close in the first half, with East taking a one-goal 11-10 lead into the intermission, the Angels figured out how to win the draw (the restart after a goal) and blitzed the Wolverines in the second frame.

The Angels were led by junior midfielder Vivian Leuthold, who had seven goals and an assist; senior Karsen Jorgensen, with four goals; and junior forward Riley Tills, who contributed three goals and an assist. Midway through the season, the Angels’s record at press time stands at three wins and four losses. Making the post-season playoffs may pose a challenge.

East concludes the regular season with a 4 p.m. away game against Colorado Academy on May 1 and an 8 p.m. away game against Aurora Grandview on May 3.
