CENTRE COUNTY — State College girls lacrosse gets back on track in a 15-3 win against Central Dauphin East. 

The Little Lions started the season on fire winning all five of their first five games. These included wins against Carlisle, Central Dauphin and Mifflin County.

Then, State College hit a brick wall in the schedule with a three-game stretch against Strath Haven, Garnet Valley and Cedar Cliff. The Little Lions lost all three, with Garnet Valley giving them the toughest test, having four players already committed to play in college. 

State College was able to break that losing streak on Tuesday, April 16, against Central Dauphin East. They followed this up with another victory against Mechanicsburg in a 15-6 blowout.

The Little Lions will get to take on Mifflin County at home next, who they beat 19-3 earlier in the season. 

Bellefonte girls lacrosse also recently found a win on their senior night against Mifflinburg. Three seniors were honored prior to the game, giving the Raiders energy to beat Wildcats 16-4. 

While not every game has been updated on MaxPreps, the Raiders have struggled a little this season with losses to Wyoming Seminary, North Pocono and Indiana prior to senior night.
