Girls Lacrosse = Division 1

#26 Weymouth, 7 @ #7 Franklin, 21 – Final

– A dominant performance on the draw in the second half helped Franklin pull away against visiting Weymouth in an opening round matchup. Senior Sophia Sacchetti scored with just two seconds left in the first half to put the Panthers up 9-5 at the break. While the game was close at half, it didn’t stay that way for very long. Franklin outscored the Wildcats 8-1 in the third quarter to grow a four-goal lead into a double-digit advantage going into the fourth. “We were trying a bunch of different people on the draws and different setups but Kendell Mone (five draw controls) going in, she was able to switch it up and Morgan Lovell and Julia Flynn won them on the circle,” said Franklin head coach Kristin Igoe Guarino. “We struggled in the first quarter on the draws but making that adjustment was key to giving our team possession and getting us 21 goals.” Freshman Clara Blongastainer scored a game-high six goals while junior Izzy Cross (four assists), senior Julia Flynn (assist), and Sachetti (assist) each scored a trio of goals. Seniors Gabi Consigli and Liza Kudish each chipped in with two goals and junior Erin Peterson found the back of the net once. #7 Franklin will be the home team against #10 Andover on Wednesday at 4:00 at Mansfield High School.
