FHS Soccer Boosters issue calendar appeal to local businesses
Dear FHS Soccer Families,
As you may know, our Raffle Calendar is our most important fundraiser of the year. The funds raised directly support our players and programs throughout the season. Each year, we are able to provide scholarships to graduating seniors, purchase gear for all players (including backpacks, practice jerseys, and more), and support many additional team needs and activities.
As we begin preparations for this year’s fundraiser, we are reaching out to local businesses to request donations for our raffle calendar. If you own a business and would be willing to donate a product, service, or gift card, we would greatly appreciate your support.
Additionally, if you have a strong relationship with a local business and would be willing to ask them to contribute, we would love your help in making those connections.
With more than 120 players in our Boys and Girls programs, we expect that more than 1,500 calendars will be sold. This is a great way for a business to get exposure in the community.
Any donation, large or small, makes a meaningful impact on our program and our student-athletes. If you are interested in donating or helping us secure donations, please reach out to us.
Thank you for your continued support of FHS Soccer!
Go Panthers!

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."

FHS girls soccer wins to reach Final Four (video)
Via Twitter, Franklin TV, and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Fall sports competition for Franklin High School on Thursday, November 13, 2025
Girls Soccer = Division 1 = #14 Hopkinton, 3 @ #6 Franklin, 4 – Final
– 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. With the win, the Panthers avenged a loss to Hopkinton two years ago at the same stage. Franklin will face No. 10 Concord-Carlisle, which upset No. 2 Bishop Feehan, in the semifinal at a date, time, and location to be determined.

Both the FHS field hockey team and girls soccer team advance in playoffs
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."

FHS girls (video) & boys soccer teams both top Mansfield on Monday
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.

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.

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.
