Defense and goaltending have stood out for Newtown High School’s girls’ lacrosse team in the early going. The Nighthawks, coming off a 4-3 win over Joel Barlow of Redding in the season opener, scored a 15-6 triumph over visiting New Milford at Blue & Gold Stadium on April 4, then bested host Stratford 13-4 on April 9. All three opponents are South-West Conference rivals.
