It was a perfect day for lacrosse as the Lightning team traveled to Elkhorn, WI to take on the Elkhorn Elks and the Kenosha Shoremen in double header action at Elkhorn Area High School.

Game recap: Lightning vs Elkhorn Elks (ranked #19 in WI in the latest lax numbers poll)

The Lightning Let One Slide…

The Elks had home-field advantage in the first contest, as the Lightning struggled to find their footing on the short artificial turf at Elkhorn Area High School. Often looking like Bambi on ice, they frequently lost their footing on both offense and defense. As a result, the Lightning had a 7-0 deficit at the end of the first period. The contest was well out of hand the rest of the way with the Lightning down 13-3 at halftime. The Lightning managed another couple of goals in the final half to lose 17-5. Elkhorn improves to 9 wins to 2 losses on the season. Lightning drops to 3 wins and 5 losses on the season.
