FHS boys soccer post win, girls soccer gains tie on Friday
"It has been a tough week for Franklin. After dropping points to Bishop Feehan and Sharon within 24 hours of each other to start the week, the Panthers could have been forgiven for letting their heads drop when Aly Fernandes gave Mansfield a deserved two-goal cushion early in the second half of Friday afternoon’s game at Pisini Stadium.Rather than letting the Hornets run away with a big win, Franklin fought back.The Panthers scored twice in a 15-minute span, Morgan Lovell equalizing with just 11 minutes to play. Mansfield nearly came back and won the game a few minutes later, hitting the bar for the second time in the match, but it finished 2-2 and Franklin left the pitch as the happier of the two teams after grabbing a come-from-behind point."
