Girls Athlete of the Week: Kristy Black, Glenelg, lacrosse

The Maryland-bound senior was at her best when it counted most Friday, scoring three of her six goals against Mount Hebron in overtime to lead the No. 15 Gladiators to a 14-11 win. It was the first time Glenelg had beaten its Howard County rival. In wins over Oakland Mills, Howard and Mount Hebron, Black, a midfielder who has played varsity for four years, totaled nine goals and seven assists.
