WOODBURY — The Northwest United girls lacrosse team had a rough loss against Housatonic on May 3.

Junior Julia Longoria felt the team didn’t play their best in the 16-6 defeat.

“It felt like an off day for everybody, including myself,” said Longoria. “We just weren’t working together as a team. We definitely need to communicate more on the field and work on our stick skills.”
