After a season’s worth of battles, it comes as no surprise the championships in both girls and boys lacrosse will be decided between the two most talented teams.

On Thursday, Crestwood and Abington Heights renew their intense girls lacrosse rivalry when the programs, which combined to win the last five titles, meet for the District 2 Class 2A championship at 5 p.m. at the Abington Heights High School Athletic Complex.

Later, Abington Heights boys visit top-seeded and undefeated Scranton Prep for the District 2 Class 2A championship at 7 p.m. at the Loyola Sports Complex.

All four teams qualified for the PIAA playoffs by reaching their respective finals.

Girls Class 2A

Crestwood won three straight district championships from 2021 to 2023, building a girls lacrosse dynasty.

Then, Abington Heights, which had been developing its lacrosse program, ended Crestwood’s title streak in 2024 and defended its championship last spring.

The teams met in the District 2 playoffs in four of the last five seasons, with Crestwood beating Abington Heights in the quarterfinals in 2021 and in the final in 2023, 2024 and 2025.

Abington Heights dominated this season. The Lady Comets scored 20 or more goals six times and reached the title game with a 19-0 win over Tunkhannock and an 18-3 win over Lake-Lehman.

Morgan Davis, last season’s Times-Tribune girls player of the year, scored 10 goals in the two playoff wins for Abington Heights. Allie Rothenberger, who is heading to Rider to pursue her academic and athletic careers, netted five goals against Lake-Lehman.

Crestwood started the district playoffs with a 19-4 win over Holy Redeemer and a 20-11 win on the road against Wyoming Seminary. Freshman Nyla Knorr scored eight goals, and Gia Caporuscio had seven goals and two assists for Crestwood in the win.

Caporuscio has 248 career goals and 106 assists. Jackie Gallagher has 200 career goals, Jordan Andrews has 100 career assists and goalie Lexi Zabroski has 262 career saves.
