SOUTH ORANGE/MONTCLAIR — Biko McNeil, of South Orange, a sophomore defender, is a key performer for the Montclair Kimberley Academy girls lacrosse team this spring as the Cougars had a 5-3 record entering their April 23 home game vs. No. 3-ranked Kent Place.

McNeil burst on the scene last year as a freshman starter for the 10-10 Cougars, who are directed by second-year head coach Kristen Dawes, of West Orange.
