The Lancers made school history getting as far as they did, but their season ended in the quarterfinals against the top seed in their bracket.
“I could not be more proud of every member of our team,” said Lakewood head coach Charles Wright. “During a long season of adversity, they overcame and put in max effort every day. The team came so far and I’m not ready for this to be over. This team became our second family.”
