During the past several seasons, Emilia Ercolino hasn’t needed to be the smoking gun on the Barnegat girls lacrosse offense. That role belonged to several others, specifically Alyson Sojak and Calli Dunn.

But this season, since Sojak’s graduation last spring, more of the Bengals had to pick up the slack on the attack, giving Ercolino more opportunities to throw the ball into the back of the net.

On May 29, in her final home game, the senior scored her 51st goal of the season and the 100th of her career.
