Off-ball screen game on point for Wooster girls in Div. II lacrosse tourney win over Medina Highland

WOOSTER − Heading into the fourth quarter of Monday's Division II lacrosse sectional final, Wooster girls held an 8-5 lead against Medina Highland. Wooster head coach Holly Pope had this to say after the match regarding what was said to her team before the final quarter began. "We've been using the analogy of our team being like a circuit.

In order to be full power, we have to have strong connections. I thought some of our connections were too loose and we needed to clean that up, so we can generate that power again. " Well, those connections Pope talked about got going in the fourth quarter because of Wooster's sharp off-ball movement and their use of screens, as the Generals (10-7) took down Medina Highland (12-7) 14-6 to advance to the regional quarterfinals.

Then moves closer to goal where she sets a screen for a teammate almost like a pin down screen in basketball. That teammate rolls off the screen like a curl. Catch, control and shoot.
