It was a night that went far beyond the scoreboard at Council Rock North, where the CRN girls fdelivered a commanding 14–2 victory over Bensalem in a game that blended strong play with an even stronger purpose.

Before the opening draw, the focus shifted to something bigger than lacrosse. Senior captain Addison Deppi organized a Morgan’s Message Night, bringing awareness to the importance of mental health in athletics. The initiative encouraged players, families, and fans to reflect on the value of speaking up, supporting one another, and “taking a shot” at mental health — a message that resonated throughout the evening.

Once the game began, Council Rock North carried that energy onto the field with a complete team performance.

Leading the charge was senior captain Gabby Mann, who delivered a historic outing. Known as the team’s “assist queen,” Mann set a new single-game record with 10 assists, while also adding a goal and two ground balls in a performance that showcased both vision and leadership.

Captain Olivia Esposito controlled the midfield with authority, finishing with 2 goals, 5 draw controls, 2 ground balls, and a free-position tally, consistently giving North possession and momentum.

Fellow captain Cat McBride contributed across the board with 2 goals, 1 assist, 3 draw controls, and 3 ground balls, continuing to be a steady and impactful presence on both ends of the field.

Deppi, who helped lead the night off the field, also made her mark in the game with 1 goal and 2 ground balls, embodying leadership in every sense.

Sophomore Stella Allain had a breakout performance, tallying 3 goals and 3 assists, emerging as a key offensive weapon for the Indians.

The “fabulous freshmen” continued to shine as well. Clara Altier added a goal, while Isabel Wielehowski (Izzy) turned in an impressive performance with 3 goals, 1 assist, and 2 draw controls. Kattelyn Campanelli also found the back of the net, contributing to the balanced scoring attack.

Defensively, Council Rock North was just as dominant. Goalie Mia Luna and the entire defensive unit held Bensalem in check throughout the game, limiting opportunities and maintaining control from start to finish.
