A few minutes after the Good Counsel girls' lacrosse team retrieved the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference championship trophy it so badly wanted, sophomore Taylor McDaniels began to tell the story of a photo that foretold how the Falcons beat Holy Cross, 9-8, on Monday night in College Park.

"And ever since then," McDaniels said Monday, "we've been best friends."

The two made good on that promise, providing No. 2 Good Counsel (19-2) just enough breathing room to pull off its 10th league championship under Coach Michael Haight and tie a school record for wins.
