Patriots girls again reach lacrosse semifinals
The Patriots were scheduled to face Chelmsford at Burlington High School on Tuesday, June 10, in the semifinals.
The CCHS girls lacrosse team rode three strong performances to earn a berth in the MIAA Division I final four for the second straight year.
Their campaign began with a 23-10 victory over the Arlington Spyponders, which saw 11 players with a goal.
Six players had multi-goal games — Maya Feloney (4), Teagan Morrissey (4), Scarlett Mirak (3), Vivi Myles (3), Karleigh Mutch (2), and Julia Reynolds (2). Maisie Martinez, Aubrey Monaghan, Alissa Bono, Lindsay Cain, and Lizzie Sproule each had a goal. Goaltender Mamie Kosicki made four saves in a strong second half.
The round of 16 brought Bishop Feehan to Memorial Field. The Patriots led 8-2 at the half, with five players scoring goals. In the third quarter, the Pats ran off five more goals, highlighted by a beautiful combination between Mutch and Morrissey. The defense allowed only three goals on 16 shots, and Alex Hooven had arguably her best game of the season with eight saves. The 16-3 final was driven by goals from Morrissey (4), Mutch (3), Mirak (3), Monaghan (2), Cain (2), and Sarah Fortier (2).
A semifinal round match brought defending champion Central Catholic to town on Saturday. The Patriots dominated throughout in all three zones, resulting in a 13-3 win. The team started patiently and led 6-1 at the half. The Pats had possession two-thirds of the time and were relentless in the attacking end, resulting in eight turnovers by Central Catholic. The defense allowed only eight shots in 48 minutes of play, with Hooven turning away five and Fortier gobbling up four ground balls. Goals by Mirak (4), Mutch (3), and Morrissey (2), and Monaghan, Fortier, and Cain (1 each) drove the offense.
