HockomockSports.com: "Franklin Comeback Falls Short Against Natick in State Title Game"

"In the final minute of the first half of Saturday morning’s Div. 1 state title game at Leominster’s Doyle Field, Franklin (15-5-2) lofted a ball into the penalty area. Natick was only able to half-clear it and it pinballed into the path of senior winger Gwen Holland.

The bounce may have been fortuitous but there was nothing lucky about the finish, as Holland coolly opened her body on the run and rolled it into the bottom corner.

Franklin was back in it, cutting the deficit to just one at halftime. Momentum was with the No. 6 seed and it carried through the break. The Panthers came out for the second half determined to get back into the final. They struck the bar, forced six saves, and had two gilt-edged chances inside the six that they weren’t able to put away.

Sometimes, you just don’t get the bounce you need. Natick capitalized on the missed opportunities and Nicole Proia scored her second goal of the match in the 65th minute to seal a 4-2 win for the Redhawks and their third state title in the last five seasons."

HockomockSports.com: "Franklin Carries Unbeaten Streak All the Way to State Title Game"

"With five minutes remaining in Tuesday night’s Div. 1 state semifinal at Doyle Field, Franklin won a free kick in the attacking third. The Panthers had been protecting a one-goal lead since midway through the first half and were so close to the program’s second title game appearance.

Senior center back Cassidy Carmignani, whose Olimpico goal had put Franklin in front, drove the ball at an angle into the box. Concord-Carlisle keeper Aubrey Monaghan came flying out and was challenged by senior winger Gwen Holland.

The ball bobbled around and slipped away from the goalie’s grasp. Sophomore Anna Carosi pounced and calmly drilled the loose ball into the bottom corner for a special birthday goal that sealed a 2-0 victory and a rematch with Natick in the final.

It also extended Franklin’s unbeaten streak to 14 games (13-0-1), since a humbling loss to Medfield in late September. That match proved to be the turning point in a season that is now heading to the very last day."

– Franklin twice trailed by two goals, but rallied with a four-goal second half to storm back and beat Hopkinton to book a place in the state semifinal for the first time since 2013. The Hillers jumped in front 2-0 going into halftime, but Lily Strong scored eight minutes into the second half to halve the deficit. Hopkinton answered back just seconds later, but Cassidy Carmignani got Franklin back within one. Phoebe Cuneo equalized for the Panthers with 24 minutes to play and Strong scored the go-ahead goal 10 minutes later to complete her brace and Franklin’s turnaround.

Via Twitter, Franklin TV, and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Fall sports competition for Franklin High School on Monday, November 10, 2025

Girls Soccer = Division 1 = #11 Lincoln-Sudbury, 1 @ #6 Franklin, 2 – Final

"When Franklin fell behind inside the opening 10 minutes of Monday night’s Div. 1 Sweet Sixteen match at Pisini Stadium, the Panthers weren’t worried. They had scored at least two goals in every match this season and were averaging just under four goals per outing.

There were still 72 minutes remaining, plenty of time to get the attack firing and make a comeback.

Franklin tied the game at the half-hour mark of the first half and sophomore Lily Strong went on an incredible solo run early in the second to put the Panthers in front. Behind one of the team’s best defensive efforts of the season, Franklin pulled out a 2-1 win over No. 11 Lincoln-Sudbury and advanced to its second quarterfinal in three years.

“We have been playing at a significantly higher level in the second half of the season, but we hadn’t yet done it for a full 80 minutes,” said Franklin coach Jodi Klein. “We just did and against a really good team. Before the game, the captains were getting everyone pumped up, the captains were leading, their energy was at an all-time high.”

Field Hockey = Division 1 = #10 Hopkinton, 1 @ #2 Franklin, 2 – Final (2OT)

"Franklin took the lead in Monday afternoon’s Div. 1 quarterfinal at Beaver Pond Field midway through the second quarter. When the horn sounded at the end of the fourth quarter, the scoreboard showed that the Panthers were still in front by a goal, but Hopkinton forced a corner so even though the clock read 0:00 the game wasn’t over.

Senior Ella Fowler got space and time at the edge of the circle and hit a rocket into the far corner, tying the game in the most dramatic (or devastating, depending on your perspective) way possible.

It was the kind of moment that could derail a team, especially one as young as Franklin, but the Panthers regrouped, reset, and regained control of the game. The hosts dominated in 7-on-7 and one minute into the second overtime period freshman midfielder Cade Taccini was tripped while driving at goal.

The officials gave a penalty stroke for denial of a clear scoring opportunity. Taccini was the pick to step up to the spot to try and win the game. She coolly rifled the ball into the top corner, giving the goalie no chance, sealing a 2-1 win, and sending the Panthers to their third state semifinal in the past five seasons."

Via Twitter, Franklin TV, and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Fall sports competition for Franklin High School  on  Monday, October 27, 2025

Girls Soccer = Mansfield, 2 @ Franklin, 4 – Final

Franklin TV video is available for replay -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aw-FYyyGr8

"In the next to last game of September, Franklin went on the road to Medfield and things fell apart. The Warriors, who are currently ranked as the top team in Div. 3, put eight goals past the Panthers, running away with a decisive win. Franklin coach Jodi Klein called the loss “an implosion” and said that she was forced to change her approach at practice.

Whatever was said after the game, whatever has changed during training, it worked because Franklin hasn’t lost since.

The Panthers extended their unbeaten streak to nine games on Monday night at Pisini Stadium with a comfortable 4-2 win against fellow league champ Mansfield. It was Franklin’s second win over the Hornets in 10 days (Mansfield’s only two losses of the season). The Panthers are now 8-0-1 over their last nine matches and have scored 41 goals in that stretch.

“I can’t tell you that,” Klein laughed when asked about what she said after the Medfield match. “I don’t yell very much. I don’t like to punish them with fitness. Obviously Medfield was a disaster. We were awful that day, so the captains came to me and asked, can we run for that? That was embarrassing.”

Boys Soccer = Franklin, 1 @ Mansfield, 0 – Final

– Senior Josh Rappa scored the only goal of the game with just over five minutes left as Franklin returned home from Mansfield with two points. Rappa played the ball wide for junior Will McAuley and he was able to whip in a cross to the near post that was parried down by the keeper but Rappa was first to the loose ball, getting just enough of a touch to chip over the keeper and across the touchline for the game-winner.

Ayla Jorden got KP’s first goal, finishing off a short pass in the box from Courtney Holland. Just past the midway point of the second half, trailing 2-1, Ella McDonald stole the ball and fired a shot from 30 yards out, lifting it just over the keeper to tie the match.

Boys Soccer = Mansfield, 1 @ Franklin, 2 – Final

– A pair of first half goals held up for Franklin, who knocked off Mansfield in its final league game and secured the Kelley-Rex division title for the fourth straight season. The Panthers jumped ahead in the 7th minute off a long throw in. Senior Josh Rappa sent a throw into the area that was headed out, but only as far as senior Andre Missagia, who chested it down and hit a half volley on the bounce that found the bottom corner. Franklin doubled its lead just before the half hour mark with a nice gpa; in the run of play. Senior Jason Proenca made a strong run through the midfield and then hit a perfectly weighted through ball behind the defense for junior Matt McNeil, who alertly hit a one-time cross with the keeper coming off the line. That cross found junior Jax Poverman and he got just enough on his first touch to double the lead. Mansfield pulled one back early in the second half as Brandon Gardner rose up and met a corner from junior Michael Nosovitzski, nodding a header back to the top corner at the near post.

Franklin TV video is available for replay -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbInKY4s24Q

Girls Soccer = Franklin, 4 @ Mansfield, 1 – Final 

– Franklin’s strong run continued with a dominant win over Mansfield in the final game of the league campaign. The Panthers scored at least four goals for the fourth straight game and extended its win streak to five, clinching the Kelley-Rex title by a point over KP. Lily Strong scored twice in the first half and Gwen Holland got a pair after the break for the Panthers. Morgan Lovell added a pair of assists and Phoebe Cuneo set up a goal as well. Aly Fernandes had the lone goal for the Hornets, who clinched the outright Davenport title based on Canton’s earlier result. Sophia Foley got the assist and goalie Katelyn Troilo made a series of saves that kept the result from getting even further away for the Hornets.

Volleyball = Attleboro, 0 @ Franklin, 3 – Final

When Franklin traveled to Attleboro earlier this season, the Panthers had a chance to win the first set but the Bombardiers went on a big run that they carried to a sweep. Franklin knew it would have another shot at its league title rival and, exactly a month later, it made that second opportunity count.

Behind its tenacious block, Franklin dominated Friday night’s rematch, winning 3-0 (25-16, 25-14, 25-20) and moving into a tie with Attleboro for first place in the Kelley-Rex division with two league matches remaining for both teams.

“We felt like we let good opportunities get away from us at Attleboro,” said first-year Franklin coach Chris Ridolfi. “Not that we thought we should win but we had some opportunities down there that got away and they’ve been working towards correcting that stuff. We’re trying to play our best volleyball at the end of the year.”

Attleboro went in front 5-4 after a point by Olivia Leonardo (14 kills) but that would be the only lead that the Bombardiers would have in the first or second sets. Franklin took control in the middle of the first, going on a 10-1 run to open up a 20-9 advantage.

- Franklin scored twice within a 10-minute span in the second half to erase a one-goal deficit but Sharon equalized with less than 10 minutes to go as the Panthers and Eagles each secured a point.

Sharon knotted it at 2-2 with eight minutes to go.

– The Panthers won their fourth straight match (and made it 18 goals in that stretch) to stay in a first-place tie with KP atop the Kelley-Rex.

Holland assisted the second goal, setting up Sophia Horton. Laila Rosen added a third with a strike from distance. Lily Strong wrapped up the scoring, off Lovell’s second assist of the night.

Boys Soccer = Franklin, 4 @ Canton, 2 – Final

– Canton pulled within one goal early in the second half but Franklin tacked on an insurance goal with just over 10 minutes to play to secure a crucial two points on the road. The Panthers needed less than eight minutes to find the back of the net three times, stunning the hosts with an early onslaught. Senior Jason Proenca scored a brace inside the opening seven minutes, first nodding in a corner from junior Zach O’Mahony O’Sullivan in the fifth minute, and then burying a low cross from classmate Josh Rappa in the seventh minute. A timeout didn’t stop Franklin’s offense, it only delayed it. The Panthers found a third just seconds into the ninth minute as Proenca’s low cross was met at the far post by junior Will McAuley. Canton climbed back into the game with a brace from senior forward Vlad Francoeur, who converted a penalty kick (drawn by Teddy Cappucci) in the 19th minute, and then flashed a header in off a corner from Luke Erickson in the 52nd minute. The game stayed 3-2 until the 70th minute when Jake Boyd one-timed a cross from Jax Poverman to help secure the two points.

Girls Soccer = Canton, 1 @ Franklin, 7 – Final 

– Franklin put together arguably its most complete game of the season to hand Canton its first league loss and move into first place alone atop the Kelley-Rex division. Phoebe Cuneo recorded a hat trick (her fourth and fifth goals in the last two days). The Panthers dominated from the opening whistle. Morgan Lovell, who had four points on Wednesday night, crossed for Cuneo to flick in the first goal after just three minutes. After a series of chances, the lead was doubled midway through the half when Lovell sent a through ball for Gwen Holland to chase. Holland won a challenge with the sliding keeper just inside the box and then slotted into the open net. Cuneo scored twice in three minutes to break the game open. First, she ran onto a through ball from Sophia Horton and picked the bottom far corner. Then Cuneo got a piece of Cassidy Carmignani’s long free kick and the ball trickled across the line for a 4-0 lead. Lovell would wrap up the first half with a shot from a tight angle. In the second half, Carmignani’s corner picked out Holland for a first-time finish. Canton got a consolation goal in the 60th minute. Alyssa Wong played the ball into the feet of Georgia Campbell, who deftly touched the ball past her marker and then finished. Franklin would get the goal back with 13 minutes to play. Grace Marinella latched onto a bouncing ball in the box after a corner and drilled in Franklin’s seventh.

Field Hockey = Franklin, 3 @ King Philip, 0 – Final

– Franklin earned a hard-fought win over King Philip in a matchup between the Kelley-Rex division’s top-ranked teams. After withstanding a lot of pressure from KP throughout the first half, the Panthers broke through with five minutes left in the first half when Addi Weiss scored off a pass from Amelia Manning. Clara Blongastainer doubled the lead with just 21 seconds left in the third quarter on an assist from Ava Lucenta, and Weiss added her second goal just under four minutes into the fourth, finishing off a feed from Blongastainer. Devon Barry made six saves for the shutout, Jossie Camp had a standout performance defensively, and Cade Taccini had a great two-way game in the midfield, helping the Panthers’ defense while also transitioning the visitors into offense. King Philip created multiple scoring chances, finishing with eight shots on goal and six corners. Lauren Griffin made seven saves in net for the Warriors.

Volleyball = Franklin, 3 @ King Philip, 2 – Final

– Franklin pulled out a thrilling five-set win on the road at King Philip (18-25, 25-18, 25-20, 19-25, 15-12). In a back-and-forth final set, the Panthers won five of the last six points to seal the victory, getting two key kills from Makayla Kuykendall before Olivia Alberti finished it off with the match-clinching point. Kuykendall led Franklin with 17 kills and 12 digs, while Emerson Delleo added 11 kills and 13 digs, and Alberti chipped in six kills and three blocks. Phoebe O’Connor ran the offense with 40 assists, and Emma Cunningham anchored the defense with 22 digs. For King Philip, senior Cece Kilroy led the way with 21 kills and 22 digs. Senior captain Shayne Dugan and sophomore Molly Sweeney each had eight kills, while sophomore Charlotte Bailey served up five aces.

FHS girls soccer team (video) wins, boys soccer posts a tie with Milford on Wednesday

Via Twitter, Franklin TV, and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Fall sports competition for Franklin High School on Wednesday, October 8, 2025

Girls Soccer = Milford, 2 @ Franklin, 4 – Final 

– Franklin rallied twice from a goal down in the first half and pulled out a crucial home win that moves the Panthers into a first-place tie with KP atop the Kelley-Rex division. After Kyla Nashawaty gave the Hawks the lead from the penalty spot, Morgan Lovell settled a throw in, spun her marker, and crossed from the end line for Phoebe Cuneo to knock in the equalizer. Three minutes later, freshman Anela Lefter crossed from the right and Kayleigh Tourtellot met it with a thumping back post header to restore Milford’s lead. It took only two minutes for Franklin to level the score again. Anna Carosi and Lovell played a nice give-and-go on the right side and the sophomore curled a shot under the keeper to make it 2-2. In the final two minutes of the half, a long ball over the top found Lovell behind the Milford defense and she coolly slotted it home to put the Panthers in front. Franklin doubled its lead with 28 minutes left to play. From a Milford corner, the Panthers counterattacked and Lovell timed her pass perfectly to spring Cuneo, who won a challenge with the keeper and tapped into the now open net.

Boys Soccer = Franklin, 1 @ Milford, 1 – Final

With the Kelley-Rex division race tightening up, Wednesday’s results did little to provide separation at the top.

Franklin and Milford battled to a 1-1 draw in a hard-fought matchup, splitting two potentially crucial points. The Panthers move into a tie for first with King Philip, while the Scarlet Hawks sit just three points back. Attleboro’s win at Sharon also keeps the Bombardiers in the mix, two points off the lead with three league games to go.

The visitors, who controlled the tempo and dictated play for the majority of the opening 40 minutes, earned a lead by halftime on a goal from senior Aidan Araujo. But the Hawks were in control for almost the entire second half with a handful of scoring chances, and found the equalizer just before the midway point on a header from junior Henrique Lopes.

“First half I thought [Franklin] outplayed us in all aspects,” said Milford head coach Antonio Pinto. “They were more intense, they played better soccer than us, they had more possession than us. I thought we flipped the script in the second half and we outplayed them. We were a lot more dynamic than we were in the first half. We just have to have a bit more composure in the attacking area and I think we could have had a couple more goals.”

Boys Soccer = Stoughton, 0 @ Franklin, 3 – Final

Franklin TV video is available for replay -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PspN8s1E-TU

"Entering Tuesday’s contest with Stoughton, the Franklin boys soccer team sat in a first place tie in the Kelley-Rex division with just one league loss and only eight goals allowed in eight total games played.

And all the Panthers had to show for it: No. 28 in the latest MIAA Division 1 rankings, released Tuesday morning. Their 2.1859 overall rating was fifth among Kelley-Rex teams, despite sitting in a first place tie with KP.

A 3-0 win over the Black Knights should certainly help in those rankings, and it keeps the Panthers in front in the division title hunt.

Franklin scored twice in the first half off a long throw and a corner kick, and converted a penalty kick early in the second half and the defense secured its third shutout in its last four games against a Stoughton side that had scored 19 goals in its last three games and hadn’t been shutout all season."
