– Click here for a photo gallery of this game. – Lily Strong scored once and assisted on another to help Franklin pull out a win in a season-opening battle of 2025 Final Four teams. The Panthers took the lead in the 17th minute. Madison Griffith sprung Phoebe Cuneo down the right wing. After some confusion in the center of the KP defense, the loose ball popped out to Strong on the edge of the box and she slotted it into the empty net. KP nearly equalized a few minutes later, but Ava Quintin’s 25-yard free kick hit the underside of the bar and somehow stayed out. On the rebound, freshman Lola Weeman had a header inside the six saved by Devyn Cairns. Strong would force a good save from Emma Weiblin and Hannah Griffith went close after getting on the end of a free kick, but it stayed 1-0 at the break. Franklin started the second half well and nine minutes in the Panthers doubled their lead. Cuneo won the ball back in midfield and sent a through ball to Strong in the right channel. A slightly heavy touch nearly took the chance away, but Strong managed to get to the ball before the keeper and square it for a wide open Cuneo to tap in. Three minutes later, KP (which was playing without star Ella McDonald) got on the board. Avery Hebert’s long throw from the left wing dropped in the box and Molly Morgan was able to corral the bouncing ball and squeeze it in at the near post, just under the arm of Cairns, to cut the deficit to 2-1. Laila Rosen restored the two-goal cushion just five minutes later with a terrific solo effort. She won the ball back in midfield, drove forward, shrugged off a challenge just outside the box, and from the edge of the area rifled a left-footed shot into the far bottom corner. Hailey Leblanc capped off the day with her first varsity goal on a chip from the right side of the box that snuck under the bar.

Lila Reardon sent the original pass out to Penelope Brady who shuffled it over to Caydence Canavan, and her blast toward goal was tipped in by Marzullo out in front. King Philip tied the game with less than a minute left in the opening quarter when Morgan gained control just past midfield and used her speed to take it all the way into the circle, firing a near post shot in. Amelia Manning put the hosts back in front just two minutes into the third off a pass from Marzullo. KP had a chance to tie the game in the third but junior Elise Ackerman (three saves) made a terrific stick save on a penalty stroke to keep Franklin ahead.

Boys Hockey = Franklin, 5 @ Attleboro, 1 – Final
– Franklin scored four goals in the final seven minutes of the game to pull away from Attleboro in a game that was much closer than the final score indicated. The Panthers jumped ahead midway through the opening period on a breakaway goal from Drake McAlpine. The game stayed that way through a scoreless second before Attleboro got on the board five minutes into the third to tie the game. Cam Elliott took a pass in the neutral zone and was able to fend off a pair of defensemen before picking the top corner to make it 1-1. Franklin regained the lead on the power play on a goal from James McLaughlin (from Colby Yagnesak) and then doubled its advantage just a minute later when Thomas Quinn lit the lamp, assisted by McAlpine and Drew Stoller. Attleboro went on the power play with two minutes to go and pulled the goalie to make it 6-on-4 and had a good chance in front, but the puck hopped over a Bombardier stick and the Panthers pounced and Quinn scored an empty net goal. Cooper Taccini latched onto an Attleboro turnover and scored Franklin’s fifth with 10 seconds to go. Freshman Gavin Wolfe made 21 saves in net for the Bombardiers.

Franklin, 52 @ Taunton, 60 – Final
– Taunton junior Syre Duverna had a breakout performance to help the Tigers exact revenge from just over a month ago, splitting the season series with the Panthers. After falling to Franklin at the beginning of January, Taunton jumped out to a big lead at halftime at home and held on in the second half. Duverna shot 9-for-12 from the field and scored 14 of his career-high 22 points in the first half to help Taunton stake a 33-20 advantage at halftime. Duverna added 14 boards, half on the offensive end, three steals, and three blocks to help set the tone for the hosts. Senior Dray Thielker scored 14 of his 17 points in the second half to help close it out, and junior Brett McNamara added nine points for the Tigers. Senior Justice Samuels scored a team-high 15 points for Franklin while classmate James Crowley chipped in with 10 points.
Taunton, 58 @ Franklin, 50 – Final
– Taunton went on a run over the second and third quarters, opening up a 20-point lead, to snap Franklin’s 10-game win streak and tighten things at the top of the Kelley-Rex standings. The Panthers, who could’ve clinched at least a share of the league title with a win, jumped in front 12-7 after one. Taunton answered back in the second. Mallorie Peterson hit a three and scored five points and Sophia Forrester and Marybel DoRosario had four apiece, as the Tigers scored 18 in the quarter and went to the locker room up 25-21. The visitors maintained momentum into the third, as Forrester hit a pair of threes, Peterson hit another, and DoRosario scored six points. Franklin finally got its offense going in the fourth, scoring 21 points. Freshman Brielle Nicholls scored nine in the frame and Ava Bonney added five. Taunton never looked in danger of losing its lead, as Forrester scored seven (going 5-for-5 at the line) and DoRosario added four. Taunton’s sophomore forwards led the way, Forrester finishing with 20 points and DoRosario adding 16. Peterson scored eight and Mia Torres had six in a win that should give Taunton a big boost in the Div. 1 rankings. Nicholls was Franklin’s top scorer with 13, Tessah Rodrigues scored 11, and Bonney added seven. Franklin can still clinch at least a share of the title with a win at Attleboro on Friday and can win the title outright if it wins each of its last two league games.
