For six minutes Saturday, Holy Family Catholic was the dominant girls lacrosse team. The other 44 minutes the match was even between the Fire and host Chaska/Chanhassen.
Unfortunately for the Storm Hawks, those six minutes were costly in an 18-12 defeat to the Fire. C/C has lost four of the last five games to fall to 2-4 on the season.
With the score tied at two nearly 12 minutes into the game, Holy Family used a six-goal run to gain the advantage for good. Fire sophomore Tori Nelson netted three consecutive goals - two on free shots from the slot - for the 5-2 lead.
Two tallies from Megan Menzuber plus a goal from Emily Pearson made it 8-2. Six goals, six minutes, six-goal lead.
C/C got within four goals at halftime as Elizabeth Roane found a cutting Lida Ernst in front of the goal for a score as time expired at 11-7.
Also scoring in the first half for the Storm Hawks were Roane and Anna Lano each twice and Sophie Buelow and Katelyn Noll.
Holy Family, which improved to 4-2 on the season, also got three tallies in the first half from Ciara White, while senior captain Ashley Hanson had a pair of goals late in the first stanza.
The Fire outscored the Storm Hawks 7-5 over the final 25 minutes.
