Morristown outlasts Chatham in Morris County Tournament lacrosse final
Morristown senior Caroline Condon had a hat trick in the Morris County Tournament girls lacrosse final and was named MVP.
MADISON — The Morristown girls lacrosse team earned more than a plaque after defeating Chatham, 7-6, in the Morris County Tournament final. The Colonials were also rewarded with an oversized gold bag of Haribo gummy bears. And just like the plaque, the players lifted it skyward in celebration.
It is Morristown's fourth MCT title, and all of them required getting past Chatham. The Colonials beat the Cougars in the 2023 and 2024 finals, as well as a 2018 semi. "It's unreal," Morristown senior goalie Eloise Downes said.
"We didn't get what we wanted (last year), but now all our hard work has been rewarded. ... We were really well-prepared.
We've been in a lot of close games. We really pulled the momentum. " The Colonials (11-4) looked back at their overtime semifinal win against Mendham on May 6.
