Moment: Birmingham Keeps Coming Back
May 19, 2020

Second Half editor
Eight times, Birmingham United’s girls lacrosse team had to come back against Hartland during the 2012 Division 1 Final.
Finally, with eight seconds to play in overtime, Kathy Quigley put Birmingham ahead to stay.
Quigley, then a junior, tied the score with her fourth goal of the game with 1:29 to play in the extra period. Then, with the final seconds ticking away, she sprinted across the front of the goal and fired the game winner.
The future University of Michigan midfielder scored five goals total June 9, 2012, and senior Sara Feiten also scored twice during overtime and four goals total for Birmingham. Feiten went on to play at Rollins College in Florida.
Watch below the game-tying and winning goals from Quigley from the MHSAA Network.
Be the Referee: Lacrosse Foul in Critical Scoring Area

Be The Referee is a series of short messages designed to help educate people on the rules of different sports, to help them better understand the art of officiating, and to recruit officials.
Below is this week's segment – Lacrosse Foul in Critical Scoring Area - Listen
We are on the lacrosse field today when a foul is called on the defense inside the critical scoring area with 12 seconds remaining in the third quarter. As the free position is being set up, the game clock expires. What’s the call?
- Disregard the clock and continue administering the free position and play will commence with a whistle?
- Reset the game clock to 12 seconds and the free position will commence with a whistle?
- The free position shall not be administered, and the third quarter is over?
If you said “do not administer the free position,” you are correct. The clock stops for fouls in the CSA in the last two minutes of the second and fourth quarters only – unless there is a 10-goal differential. If time runs out prior to the complete administration of a free position, then it shall not be administered.
