On Saturday, June 28th, the Lancers reached the halfway point of their 43rd summer season and celebrated with another win! Last Saturday, the Lancers hopped down Minneville Road for a match-up at the Birchdale Pool, home of the Dale City Frogs. Despite the opponent's best efforts, the Lancers unleashed a flurry of bubbles that resulted in a commanding lead. By the end, the Lancers had written another "Win" on the season scorecard! After the 4th of July weekend, the Lancers will finish out the dual meet competition season against the Virginia Oaks Sea Devils and Sudley Seahorses. The final meet of the season will be the Divisional meet against the Ridgewood Barracudas and Ashland Stingrays.
Below are highlights from last Saturday's meet.
