The Bristol Eastern girls lacrosse team beat Wethersfield 17-4 in the first round of the CIAC Class L tournament Friday night at Alumni Field.

It was a night of historic accomplishment for the Lady Lancers as they won their first CIAC game in program history.

Harper Dauphinee had three goals and an assist to give her 35 goals on the season, which ties the freshman record. 

Emma Stavens scored eight goals with three assists to up her season record to 86 goals and her career mark to 253. 

Vanessa Drury had five goals and 3 assists, and her sister Savannah also got in on the scoring action with a goal while Kate Patterson contributed with an assist.

Leah Roy was all over the field making great plays on offense and defense.

And Meg Krok and Jayna Hatcher again played terrific defense in front of freshman goalie Erin Martin. 

Next up for the Lancers is a game at Masuk, the #1 seed, on Tuesday.
