Zoe Stukenberg Marriotts Ridge, senior, midfield When the pressure is on, Zoe Stukenberg is at her best. Perhaps the best example came when her No. 2 Mustangs defeated archrival No. 7 Mount Hebron, 14-13, in double overtime during the regular season. Stukenberg scored to tie the game with about a minute left in regulation, assisted the buzzer-beating goal to force a second overtime period, then scored the game-winning goal. Stukenberg, an All-Metro first-team selection last season, went on to lead the Mustangs (18-1)

Broadneck's No. 10 girls lacrosse team didn't need much time to assert its dominance in Wednesday night's Class 4A-3A state championship at UMBC. After five minutes of back-and-forth play, the Bruins reeled off 12 straight goals and ran away with their first title in 11 years, 21-5 over previously-undefeated Sherwood, the first Montgomery County girls team to reach the title game. Ellie McNulty scored four goals and Aislinn Probst added three, all in the 12-goal run. By the time Zoe Ernest's free-position goal gave the Bruins a 13-3 lead and kicked in the running clock for good with 6 minutes, 08 seconds left in the first half, coach Karen Tengwall already had subbed for her starting attackers.

Four players from No. 1 McDonogh's undefeated girls lacrosse team headline the South roster for the Under Armour All-America Lacrosse Classic July 6 at Towson University's Johnny Unitas Stadium. Sammie Burgess, Casey Black, Maggie Preas and Posey Valis helped the Eagles to their fifth straight Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland A Conference championship and likely the final No. 1 ranking in the Nike/US Lacrosse High School Girls' Lacrosse National Top 25. The Eagles have been ranked No. 1 all season and if they stay there, they would be ranked the top team in the country for the fourth straight season.

As a freshman, Century's Hannah Warther hasn't hesitated to take the big shots, and she hit the biggest one so far Friday night to give the No. 5 Knights a 10-9 double-overtime victory over No. 2 C.
