When Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook Kingswood junior Isabelle Scane and East Grand Rapids sophomore Audrey Whiteside combined to score nine goals during the 2017 Division 2 Girls Lacrosse Final, it was more than just a chance championship game meeting.
They represented two of the finest programs in the state, which have made a combined 13 title game appearances and won a combined 10 Division 2 championships. Scane and Whiteside also would go on to combine for 870 career goals as the only players in MHSAA history to eclipse 400.
Scane in 2017 would score her single-season career-best 146 goals – fourth-most in MHSAA history for one spring – on the way to setting the career record of 461 goals from 2015-18.
Whiteside’s jolt to the record book would come two seasons later as a senior, when her 149 goals in 26 games tied for second-most in one season as she finished a career that saw her score 409 total from 2016-19.
Whiteside also set the single-season points record that season with 208 (including 59 assists), and she’s second on the career points list with 523 – with only Scane’s 577 listed above her and they the only two with at least 500.
High school lacrosse was only the start for the pair. Scane has missed this season with an injury, but in 2021 set Northwestern single-game (10) and single-season (98) goals records in being named Big Ten Attacker of the Year. Whiteside this season scored 40 goals with a team-high 35 assists for Central Michigan as it advanced to the NCAA Tournament before falling to Scane’s Wildcats in a first-round game. Whiteside was named the Mid-American Conference’s Offensive Player of the Year.

Moment: Scoring Last, Cranes Finish 1st

East Grand Rapids had won five straight Division 2 girls lacrosse championships when it met Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook Kingswood in the Final for the third-straight season June 10, 2017.
The victory wasn’t exactly “sudden” as the Cranes needed nearly four overtime periods to finish it. But Cranbrook did end the day as a first-time title winner – with a 17-16 sudden victory.
Angelina Wiater scored with 49 seconds to play in the second “sudden victory” portion of overtime to clinch.
The goal was Wiater’s first of the game, which with 33 combined goals tied the highest-scoring Final in MHSAA girls lacrosse history. But the final run started with a save, the 14th of the game for Cranes goalie Brigitte Ballard.
“Our goalie threw it to me and coach (Greg Courter) said if you have the legs, go,” Wiater said that day. “I went, and I was thinking of passing it. I didn’t see anybody open, and I knew we needed to get one. I didn’t want to make a pass when I didn’t see anyone open. I wrapped around the back and I crease rolled and saw an opening, and I went for it.’’
Wiater currently plays ice hockey at Amherst College in Massachusetts. The 2007 Final also featured the two highest career goal scorers in MHSAA history; Cranbrook’s Isabelle Scane finished with five goals in the game and plays at Northwestern, and EGR’s Audrey Whiteside scored twice and currently plays at Central Michigan.
