Lacrosse Player's Accidental Headshot Raises Questions

Summary

Furman women’s lacrosse team defeated Austin Peay, with sophomore Lily Toole making headlines for an accidental headshot that nearly decapitated a referee. Toole was trying to follow NCAA rules by tossing her stick to an official after scoring a goal, but the referee was not ready for the transfer. Toole apologized and went on to score two more goals in the fourth quarter to cement the win.


Our Reading

The routine arrives with confidence.

Lily Toole’s enthusiasm for following rules is admirable, but her execution needs work. She’s still got skills, though – 64 goals and 21 assists in her freshman season. The NCAA rulebook is clear: drop the stick or hand it to the official after scoring. Toole took it a bit too literally. The referee’s face was not ready for the transfer. Accidental headshots are not exactly what the NCAA had in mind. The Paladins won the game, but Toole’s stickhandling skills need some work.
