Ryan Lanigan, founder and Editor-in-Chief of HockomockSports.com, provides the game recap:
"When the Franklin girls lacrosse team put its Hockomock League win streak on the line against rival King Philip just under two weeks ago, the Panthers had a sweat out a double-overtime win.
Facing their other big Hock hurdle this season, the Panthers played from in front the whole way.
Franklin scored the first four goals of the game and never trailed in an 11-7 win over Davenport division leading Foxboro to extend its league win streak to 119 straight games.
“It was a huge boost to start strong,” said Franklin head coach Kristin Igoe Guarino. “In the past, we’ve started slow and we’ve been really hard at practice on scoring. The girls really applied what we’ve been trying to work on in practice and really focusing on the details. They did a good job cleaning up our shots and our passing selection. They did awesome right from the start of the first quarter.”
