Lacrosse playoffs start Thursday for Lehi-area teams
Falcon girls favored for title
Here’s how each Lehi-area lacrosse team is positioned entering the state tournaments.
Skyridge girls
Season record: 8-0 Region 3 (1st), 17-1 overall
Final RPI ranking: 1 in 6A
MaxPreps ranking: 1 in 6A, 1 statewide
Next contest: May 14
Prospects: The league-champion Falcons will begin their quest for the 6A championship in the second round and will host the winner of #16 Westlake (5-12) and No. 17 Layton (2-12) on Thursday. The default start time is 4 p.m. but this may be adjusted as the schools agree. The winner of that contest will next host either #8 Herriman (10-7) or #9 Copper Hills (11-6) on Saturday (May 16) at 1 p.m. Skyridge has not played the Thunder, Lancers or Grizzlies this year but topped the Mustangs in the final match of the regular season. The one loss for Skyridge was to a nationally-ranked private school in California.
Lehi girls
Season record: 4-4 Region 3 (3rd), 10-8 overall
Final RPI ranking: 11 in 6A
MaxPreps ranking: 10 in 6A, 19 statewide

Prospects: The Pioneers got a bye in the first round and will visit #6 Syracuse (13-4) in the second round of the state tournament Thursday at 4 p.m. or whenever the schools agree. Lehi had an epic battle with the Titans in March and lost by one goal. The winner of that game will face the winner of the #3 Mountain Ridge (12-4) and #14 American Fork (5-13) match in the quarterfinal round on Saturday (May 16) at 1 p.m. Lehi has not played the Sentinels so far this year but defeated the Cavemen in both league meetings this season.

The victor will play the winner of #5 Bingham (14-3) versus #12 Lehi (7-9) in a quarterfinal game on Saturday (May 16) at 1 p.m. at the home field of the higher seed.
