Lacrosse playoffs get underway Tuesday, Thursday for Lehi girls
Here’s how each Lehi-area lacrosse team is positioned entering the state tournaments.
Season record: 5-5 Region 4 (tied for 3rd), 6-10 overall
Final RPI ranking: 13 in 6A
MaxPreps ranking: 12 in 6A, 27 statewide
Next contest: May 16
Prospects: After losing their best player to injury before the season even started, the Falcons still managed to have a decent year. They will host #20 Layton (0-16) on Tuesday. The default start time is 4 p.m. but this may be adjusted as the schools agree. The winner of that contest will next face #5 Mountain Ridge (10-6) on the road Thursday. Skyridge has not seen the Lancers this season but lost to the Sentinels in a non-region contest this week.

Season record: 12-0 Region 8 (1st), 17-0 overall

Prospects: The undefeated league champ Pioneers get a pass in the first round because of their high seed and will host the winner of #15 Bountiful (8-8) versus #18 Bonneville (5-10) in the second round of the state tournament on Thursday at 4 p.m.,or a different time as the schools agree. Lehi did not play either of these teams so far this year.

The victor will travel to #1 Corner Canyon(12-2) for a second-round game on Thursday at 4 p.m. Skyridge did not play the other Falcons this season but fell to the Chargers in their previous Region 4 contest.
