Freedom’s lacrosse teams are enjoying the most success of the local teams this season, as the boys and girls teams swept Liberty in Monday night’s doubleheader.

The Pates kept building off Saturday’s 14-5 win over Bethlehem Catholic with a 15-3 victory over Liberty in the boys contest.

Head coach Tony Fabrizio knows this is a work in progress for the young program, but is happy to see his team improving and enjoying success.

“There has definitely been improvement in our play,” Fabrizio said. “We’ve suffered some injuries lately that hurt us a bit, but we are hoping others can step in and fill some roles. It’s tough coming in and building from scratch. This is a work in progress that we will look to build year after year.”

Monday’s win gives the Pates a 5-5 mark on the season with Pleasant Valley (4-9) and Easton (10-1) on the docket this week.

“I think last week we showed how much improvement we’ve made,” he said. “We had a very tough opponent in Emmaus and Saucon Valley, who gave us the best indication of who we are as a team. I think the goal every week as a coach is to come out of it a better team. We’ve been able to achieve that goal almost every week thus far.”

The Golden Hawks (2-9) earned their second win of the season last week with a 13-4 win over a struggling Northampton (1-10).

Becahi has a tough week with Parkland (9-3) and Emmaus (8-4), but they cap things off with Northampton again on Friday.

Liberty (0-11) is still winless on the season.

On the girls side, Freedom is leading the way as well, as the Pates moved to 6-6 after Monday’s 16-5 win over Liberty (0-11). Emily Rowan scored her 100th career goal in the win.

With Northampton (3-9) and Easton (8-2) left to play this week, the Pates should pick up a victory over the K-Kids, as they defeated them earlier this season 13-9 to keep them in contention for a playoff berth.
