Kingswood Oxford is in the process of rebuilding its girls lacrosse program after some time without a team. The first game of the season gave the Kingswood coaches a chance to see their team play and rework position assignments.

At gametime, Downing Field became enshrouded in a veil of snow flurries. Players kept moving to stay warm with the temperature around 39 degrees.

The mercy rule kicked in during the second quarter when the lead entered double digits, causing a running clock to tick for the rest of the game.

Hotchkiss will play the next two games on the road before hosting Canterbury School April 9 at 3 p.m.
