The girls' Under-15 and Under-13 youth lacrosse teams lost to the Lakers of Lakeville at Martha's Vineyard Sunday.

The 5-9 defeat was the first loss of the year for the U-15s. Aubrey Ashmun scored twice for the Islanders. Hadley Chapman, Shannon Morris, and Belle Dinning also found the back of the net.

The U-13 girls came close but conceded, 6-7. Kylie Hatt, Erin Hill, Audrey McCarron, Kate Sudarsky, Anna Keenan, and Lacy Dinning put the points on the board.

This Sunday the girls take on the Nantucket Whalers at Bourne.
