This week Patchogue-Medford's star goalie reached a milestone when she saved her 400th game in net.
Hailey Stratton has been a fixture on the Pat-Med girls' lacrosse team for some time now and she has now etched her name in the history books when she was able to record her 400th save in her career.
Stratton's team is 3-1 on the season and she has recorded 28 saves already this season. In the team's only loss, she still was able to stop 11 goals, a season high, and her impressive performance kept them in the game.
Last season the junior was able to stop 110 shots on goal and even stopped 17 shots in one game, 16 in another on the season.
Stratton has said "I have been Playing Lacrosse since Kindergarten. I started playing for my Local PAL team in Medford. I started out playing for the boys Pal team because there was not enough for a girl's team. I started out playing all positions for my first season. The following year we had enough girls for a team, but no one wanted to play Goalie. I volunteered to play goalie and have been playing my position ever since then."
Stratton plays on numerous teams and even has a goalie coach to fine tune her game. A true student of the game she has played above her grade level since 7th grade and now continues to dominate on the varsity level.
