Game Time: Monday, May 19, 2025 – 6:30 PM
Location: Oakton High School Stadium
Lacrosse fans, mark your calendars. This Monday night, two of the top girls’ lacrosse teams in Virginia go head-to-head in a highly anticipated rematch. The #3-ranked Oakton Cougars host the #6-ranked South Lakes Seahawks in a playoff battle that’s sure to bring intensity, skill, and serious postseason energy to the turf.
Both programs are elite. Both have championship ambitions. And both have something to prove.
These Teams Have History
When South Lakes traveled to Oakton last year, they walked away with the district championship trophy, defeating the Cougars on their own field. This season, on April 1, Oakton returned the favor—handing South Lakes their only loss of the season in a decisive 10-4 victory.
Since that loss, South Lakes has been on a mission. The Seahawks have rattled off 11 straight wins, finished the regular season at 15-1, and tied for first place in the Concorde District alongside Oakton and Madison. The Cougars finished the regular season 10-4, with a fierce offense and playoff-hardened experience. While both teams are already guaranteed a spot in the regional tournament, this game will determine seeding, momentum, and bragging rights.
This is not just another game. It’s a rivalry, a rematch, and a battle between two of the best teams in Virginia girls’ lacrosse.
South Lakes: Deep, Balanced, and Relentless
The Seahawks are a team with firepower across the board. Their offense doesn’t rely on one player—it’s a committee of threats, each capable of taking over a game.
- Izzie Brabant (Senior): 65 goals, 15 assists
- Addison Munson (Senior): 26 goals, 14 assists
- Kendall Settar (Sophomore): 24 goals, 29 assists
Beyond that trio, seven players have scored 10+ goals this season, making South Lakes one of the most balanced offensive units in the state. Whether it’s a fast break or a settled set, this team moves the ball with confidence and finishes with authority.
On the defensive end, first-team all-district goalie Ann Roberts is the anchor. Her ability to shut down high-powered offenses has been crucial all year. She’s supported by a tough, experienced defensive core, including Sam Goodiel and Morgan Hayes, who bring senior leadership and physicality to every possession.
South Lakes isn’t just winning games—they’re winning with defense, precision, and depth. And they’re ready to prove the April loss to Oakton was the exception, not the rule.
Oakton: Powerhouse Program, Veteran Leaders
Oakton has built a reputation as a championship-caliber program, and this year is no different. The Cougars come into Monday’s game with a 10-4 record, fueled by a relentless offense and an aggressive defense.
Leading the attack are three dynamic playmakers:
- Riley Sweeney (Senior): A commanding midfielder who creates from everywhere on the field
- Maura Ferrell (Senior): Quick, smart, and fearless—she finds the net and opens up space for others
- Aoi Barnes (Junior): A rising star with speed, skill, and scoring touch
The Cougars have poured in 173 goals this season, averaging more than 11 per game. Their defense is led by Bailey Zimmerman, a senior who brings tenacity, anticipation, and leadership to the back line.
Oakton plays fast, smart, and with purpose. They’ve been here before, and they know how to win when it matters most. A win on Monday would give them not only the mental edge going into regionals—but sweet revenge for last year’s district title game.
