On April 29, the Einstein Girls defeated the Gaithersburg Trojans in a strong 19-10 victory. The game instantly started for both teams after the Boys Lax game under the doubleheader. As the 1st quarter commenced, the Titans made sure they started the game with a strong lead despite seeing the 0-10 record the Trojans held. Einstein first put points on the board 43 seconds in with a goal from #13 Elena Limauro, a player most defenders are afraid to face when she enters near the crease. Einstein later scored 5 more goals in the first quarter, with #23 Charlotte Richey scored her first goal on Varsity after being bumped up from JV. Gaithersburg would pull one back in order to keep hopes up. The quarter ended 6-1 with the Titans leading. Gaithersburg would enter the 2nd quarter in scoring one more to make sure the morale was high in the deficit, but the Titans wouldn't allow any hope despite substitutes in play. JV bump ups scoring their first varsity goals was seen to be a trend within the game, with Einstein player #24 Morgan Young being in the spotlight with her first varsity score. Limauro would continue to play as usual in rushing within the crease, scoring a hat trick alone and recording 5 goals in the first half. #5 Paige Shultz and #7 Caroline Davis increased the deficit in making sure there's no sign of coming back. The first half ended 12-3 with Einstein Dominating. Gaithersburg knew the mercy rule was just around the corner for the Titans going into the 3rd quarter. Einstein would score two more additional goals from Davis and #1 Kendall Korball, all in the same area of the top of the net. Gaithersburg suddenly started an offensive surge after the last two Einstein Goals, scoring a total of 5 goals out of 9 shots and #20 securing the hat-trick for Gaithersburg. It was noticeable that the Einstein defense started to slow down after seeing the lead. The quarter ended with a short 15-8 Einstein Lead. A slow 3rd defensive quarter for the Titans made sure to wake the entire team up and prevent a comeback going into the 4th quarter. The Titans added back some starters into the field and made sure to put the game to rest. Einstein player #17 Maddie Huth put up another tally as the 3rd JV bump up player to score in this game. Richey would also continue to shine in adding two more goals and claiming a hat trick in her 2nd career varsity game. Limauro and Fleschner added two more to the scoreboard as the dagger, with the final score being 19-10. The Titans move up to 6-4 and will play Kennedy on senior night as the Trojans drop to a 0-11 record and face Quince Orchard in hopes of adding a win column.
