West Orange girls lacrosse player hits 200 goals

One of the sweetest feelings in sports is reaching a career milestone and it just became true for one of West Orange High’s girls lacrosse players. 

Senior Delaney Benfatti reached her 200th career goal Monday, March 9. Her accomplishment came when she scored six goals in the team’s 21-10 win over Boone High School. Benfatti’s lacrosse journey began when she was in sixth grade, after being a competitive gymnast for five years. 

It’s Benfatti’s first season playing as a Warrior. She previously attended South Lake High, where she served as the team’s captain her junior season. She held the school’s record for goals scored in a career with 187 before beginning her senior year.
