Sebastian River's girls' lacrosse team dominated Cocoa Beach 14-5 in a non-league game on March 19 at Sebastian High School. The Sharks (3-7) outperformed the visiting Minutemen (1-8), who struggled offensively and defensively. The game was part of a busy week for both teams as they prepare for upcoming matchups in the 2026 season.
Cocoa Beach's offense managed only five goals, with Aubrey Pittman (junior) leading the team with one goal and three assists. Emery Crocker (sophomore) added one goal and 12 assists, but the Minutemen's shooting percentage (.333) was below average. Sebastian River's stats were not entered into the game report, but the Sharks' defense limited Cocoa Beach to just 22 shots on goal.
Sebastian River's next game is a non-league matchup against South Fork (Stuart, FL) on March 30. The Bulldogs (3-6) lost 19-5 to Martin County in their last game. Cocoa Beach will face Merritt Island's Mustangs (1-9) on Monday, March 30, after the Mustangs lost 19-4 to Edgewood in a league game.
The loss drops Cocoa Beach to 1-8 overall, and head coach Jennifer Moore said the team needs to improve its offensive execution. 'We didn't capitalize on scoring chances,' Moore said. 'Sebastian River played better defense and made more plays when it mattered.'
The game was the first for both teams in March, with fans in attendance at Sebastian High School. The Sharks' next home game is against South Fork, while the Minutemen will travel to Merritt Island for their next contest. Both teams remain in the 1A D8 classification for the 2026 season.
