The Shamrocks equalized with 14 minutes to play and, after a pair of scoreless overtime periods, keeper Abigail Marsolais made three saves in the shootout to secure the 2-1 win (3-1 in PKs).Despite the disappointment of the loss, Franklin coach Jodi Klein was proud of her team’s fight and the Panthers proving that they can play with the best teams in the state."
