Georgia’s got talent, and the lacrosse world has taken notice
By Clare Lochary
n a 48-hour span in March, Milton (Ga.) High went from regional novelty to national lacrosse power. It started with a loss that felt a lot like a win. On March 15, the Eagles took top-ranked McDonogh (Md.) and its legendary winning streak (now 91 games) to the brink in an 11-8 defeat. The next day, Milton rallied from a fi ve-goal defi cit to beat Vero Beach (Fla.) 14-13 — its fi rst win in six tries against a team long considered the best in the Southeast. “We’ve been trying since I was a freshman. It’s such an amazing feeling to conquer the South,” said Annie Ruland, the USC-bound senior attacker who had three goals and four assists in the Eagles’ win over the Indians.

And suddenly, the lacrosse world took notice of the girls from Georgia. Milton fi nished the 2013 season with an 18-3-1 record, a No. 1 regional ranking in the South and No. 8 national ranking.
