BALTIMORE (Map, News) - Glenelg’s Kristy Black ended her high school career exactly the way she concluded her freshman season: hugging her teammates after winning the Class 2A/1A state title.

But this time, the midfielder accomplished the feat in record fashion during her team’s 17-11 victory over Loch Raven at UMBC on Tuesday.

Black had 11 points — six goals, five assists — to surpass the previous 2A/1A championship game-record of nine, set by Loch Raven’s Michele DeJulius in 1992. Black’s output was one point shy of tying the all-classification record of 12, set by C. Milton Wright’s Kadie Stamper in 2004. Black’s five assists tied Kristen Waagbo’s all-classification record for most in a title game, which the Mount Hebron star set in the 3A/2A final in 2002, but Black holds the mark in 2A/1A.

“We just got the draw controls,” Black, who will play for Maryland next season, said. “If you do that you always have a chance to score.”

And that’s exactly what Glenelg did. The Gladiators (16-4) scored the final seven goals of the first half to turn a 5-4 deficit into an 11-6 lead they would not relinquish. In the first half, Black teamed with classmate Alayna Markwordt to score eight goals.

Loch Raven cut the lead to 13-9 with 12:54 remaining on consecutive goals by senior midfielder Taylor Moyer, but Markwordt, who finished with six goals and four assists, responded with a pair to restore the six-goal lead and end Loch Raven’s season at 12-4.

Loch Raven, which was making its first appearance in the state final since 1997, was led by Moyer (five goals, one assist) and junior attacker Gabi Miller (four goals).

“We made it to regional finals the past two years,” Moyer said. “To make it this far this year is great and it’s hard to see it end.”

But it was a great way for Markwordt to end her career, as she ended the fall season by leading her team to the 1A soccer title.

“I won states earlier this year for soccer,” Markwordt said. “I wanted to have that feeling again.”

In Division 1A they wouldn't have lasted 2 games they'd be 1-0 with that 1 being another out of division lower class team,patapsco. None the less that Mat Dybala is a hell of a lacrosse player as well as there defenseman Joshua Martin also a hell of a player mid feild is disabled there but joshua and mat make up for it they had a really good defenseman last year and the year before but i don't know what happened to him he should be a senior, but oh well. Good luck to the blue birds and hope they get through the season with the State Title.

This article is bologna. I think many of the other seniors that have played with these girls are equally good if not better.

The Holy Cross team is amazing. They kept up a great attitude and never let down. They were even a man down in the first overtime and still scored.

Great article. How about an article on the Good Counsel boy's goalie, Sean McKenna. Four year starter and two year captain. Led defense and GC to 15-4 record last season (best in team history). Will play at Division I Quinnipiac University next season. Led Falcons defense to first win over Dematha Catholic this past weekend. Would be a great story. Thanks.

Please extend to Bryan Mann my compliments on his write-up about Curley's lacrosse team and hopes for the dream. I really liked his style and the way it was written. Classy title with a classy ending. And thanks to Chris Ammann for the nice picture of my son and also the coach. Thanks.
