2024 HockomockSports.com Girls Lacrosse Awards recognize the following Franklin High School athletes:
Norah MacCallum – Franklin – Defense
Franklin senior defender Norah MacCallum was the leader of the back line all season for the Panthers, helping them secure a 14th straight league title and extend the program’s Hockomock League win streak to 122 games (dating back to the 2012 season). MacCallum finished the season with 21 ground balls and caused 30 turnovers. The Panthers were second in the Hock, allowing just 159 goals in 22 games (a little over seven per game) despite playing some of the best teams in the state. MacCallum was selected as an all-star by the league’s coaches. Franklin coach Kristin Igoe Guarino said, “Norah was the backbone and leader of our defense. She played a key role in our zone this year and really excelled at getting us the ball back.”
Gabi Consigli – Franklin – Attack/Midfield
Franklin junior attacker Gabi Consigli made a big leap this spring and became one of the most consistent attacking threats for the Panthers, helping them bring home a 14th consecutive league title and extend a decade-long league win streak to 122 games. Consigli was one of the team leaders in goals (30), assists (24), and total points (54), as Franklin revamped its attacking unit with several new faces this spring and, despite facing tough competition all season, averaged nearly 10 goals per game. Franklin coach Kristin Igoe Guarino said, “Gabi was a solid attacker for us this year. She made big strides from her sophomore year to this year, and did a nice job setting up her teammates.”
Maeve Grasso – Franklin – Defense
Franklin junior defender Maeve Grasso put in a solid season in the heart of the back line, a crucial part of the Panthers clinching a 14th straight league title and extending their decade-long league win streak to 122 games. Grasso had 16 ground balls and caused seven turnovers this season for the Panthers, who allowed a little more than seven goals per game despite a difficult non-league schedule. The Panthers allowed 159 goals in 22 games, which was second-fewest in the Hock. Grasso was an honorable mention for league all-star. Franklin coach Kristin Igoe Guarino said, “I was excited to see Maeve on this list because our defense was really our strong point this year. Maeve might not have a ton of stats, but without her intelligence, communication, and leadership, our defense would not have worked.”
Julia Flynn – Franklin – Midfield
Franklin junior Julia Flynn excelled in a much larger role in the Panthers midfield this season, showing off an all-around game that was crucial to Franklin winning a 14th consecutive league title and extending its remarkable league win streak to 122 games. Flynn filled up the stat sheet this season. She scored 37 goals and dished out 13 assists, scooped up 28 ground balls, forced 15 turnovers, and collected 92 draw controls. She was selected as an all-star by the league’s coaches. Franklin coach Kristin Igoe Guarino said, “Julia had a breakout year as a midfielder. We asked her to do more roles than ever before, and she delivered. She is one of the fiercest competitors I have ever coached and I am looking forward to seeing what she can do next season.”
