It felt more like the end of the winter season than the start of spring with piles of snow lining Pisini Field and a cold wind whipping through, but Needham and Franklin opened the girls’ lacrosse season with a battle of two teams with aspirations of making noise in the, presumably, much warmer month of June.
It was the visiting Rockets that would get the season off to a perfect start by dominating draw controls (21-5) and getting hat tricks from three players, including five goals from Kailey Conry, to pull out a 15-9 victory.
“We didn’t have the ball enough,” said Franklin coach Kristin Igoe Guarino. “I think it would have been a much closer game or we could have won if we had just won five more draws. We didn’t possess the ball as much as they did.”
