– Franklin advances to the D1 South Quarterfinals. The Panthers will play the winner of #2 Brookline and #18 Natick on a date and at a time to be announced.
"As the reigning D1 East Sectional Champs, and current top seed, the Franklin girls lacrosse team knows there is a target on their back.
Natick came out firing on Thursday afternoon at Franklin High, but a strong second half effort and nine goals from sophomore Annie Walsh led Franklin to an 18-10 victory over eighth-seeded Natick.
Heading into halftime, Natick led 7-6, completely controlled time of possession and led in draw controls at the break.
Kendall Reardon started off the scoring for Franklin, scoring three minutes into the game, but on the ensuing Natick possession Annika Streeter would answer back to tie the game up at one. Streeter then set up teammate Victoria Norchi open in front of the net, and she scored to put the Redhawks up 2-1. Reardon would then score her second goal of the game to knot the game at two, but Norchi scored on an empty net to give Natick a 3-2 lead."Continue reading the game recap by Joe Clark, HockomockSports.com Student Reporter

But luckily for the Panthers, their number two is also an ace.
