I am going to compare Ellie's blog to a blog on nj.com about Westfield Girls Lacrosse. Ellie's blog is about Freshman girls lax, which nj.com does not give information about. Nj.com only gives information about the Varsity team. Others may be interested in how the freshman team's season is going. Also, Ellie gives records for the freshman team and schedualing, but nj.com gives records of all the teams in the division. The blog about the freshman lax is centered around their team, where as nj.com blog's are based on all the teams in the division. So if you're interested in how the Freshman Westfield Girls Lax season is going, check out Ellies blog! If you want info on varsity and the division, check out the link below.

This is nj.com's blog about Westfield Girls Lacrosse.

This is Ellie's blog about  the Freshman team.

Varsity won against Morris Knolls on Friday the 13th! The final score was 15-12. The team has been featured a lot in the sports section of the Star Ledger. There's an article about this Morris Knolls game in the latest issue if you aree more interested in contributors and stats of the game. Also, nj.com has lots of information. Today we have a game home against West Essex. West Essex has a 5-3 record which beats Westfield's, but our coach thinks we have a good shot at beating them. Keep you updated!

Game today against Morris Knolls!

This video is the Northwestern Wildcats vs. the Maryland Terrapins in the 2011 NCAA National Championship for Womens Lacrosse. This clip shows the intensity of college lacrosse. Westfield Girls Varisty aims to bring up the intensity level of their game. This is a good example of the kind of level the Varsity team wants to reach.
