She is one of number of Alle-Kiski Valley boys and girls lacrosse players who have reached the 100-goal milestone this season.
Junior Macey Edwards scored three goals to help the Freeport girls top Armstrong, 12-1, on Thursday to improve to 8-4 overall and 5-3 in Section 2-2A. She continues to add to her career goal totals — she has 47 this season — after surpassing 100 in a 17-1 victory over Ambridge on April 9.
The Plum girls, 6-6 overall and 2-6 in Section 1 of Class 3A, have two who have reached 100 goals this season. Senior Ella Pedley hit that mark March 25 against Norwin, and senior Carly Venanzi did so April 15 against Canon-McMillan.

Raiders assistant coach dies
The Riverview athletic community continues to mourn the passing of assistant wrestling coach Justin Orbich.
The Oakmont resident and Castle Shannon native died earlier this month after a short battle with liver disease.
He was 50.
Raiders wrestling coach Joe Murphy said Orbich, who also devoted many hours to coaching baseball and flag football in the Riverview Athletic Association, was dedicated to mentoring many of the student-athletes he worked with on and off the wrestling mat.
"He was in the hospital and was fighting all of his health issues throughout the season, but he was wrestling with the kids right up until the end of the season in February," Murphy said. "He was working out with them, and we were joking around about him getting a black eye in one practice because a kid hit him by accident.
"He wanted to do everything he could for the kids. He didn't want the attention on him. He was just so positive and encouraging through it all. It still is difficult. It doesn't seem real because it happened so fast. There's been so much support for his family."
The Riverview School District released a statement on Facebook at the time of his death.
"Justin made a lasting impact through his dedication to our student-athletes and belief in hard work, discipline and character," it read. "His steady presence and care for every wrestler will be remembered."
Justin's son, Owen, was a sophomore this past season. He won 12 matches, with five coming by pin and two others by technical fall.
