Rising Sun girls’ lacrosse (6-5) sits atop its region and will host No. 4 Elkton (4-8). After dropping its first two games of the regular season, Rising Sun won six of its last nine games. No. 2 Perryville (6-6) will host No. 3 North East (5-6). The Panthers were 4-0 in matchups against county opponents this spring. The winners of the two matchups will meet in the regional finals.
