Vacation week brought a lighter than usual schedule but each of our teams, with the exception of track, had at least one contest.
Girls LAX keeps train rolling- The Girls Lacrosse team kept the offense going during vacation week racking up two more wins while extending their season-long unbeaten streak to 8 games. The girls hosted North Attleboro on Tuesday and earned a convincing 13-6 victory. Goaltender Katherine Doody was phenomenal in the Bulldog cage. Thursday, the team showed they could bend but would not break as they allowed a dozen Norwood goals, but were more than up for the task, outscoring the Mustangs 17-12. Leading the Bulldog scoring attack on the week were Mary McNeil, (7), Sam Sullivan (6), Erin Proctor (6) and Mary Nee (4).
Baseball stays in the hunt- A win and a loss this week kept the baseball team at 4-4 on the season and in the hunt in the Hockomock Davenport. The team put in perhaps its finest performance of the season on Thursday at home vs. Foxboro, defeating the Warriors, 8-2. Sophomore Griffin Jerrier pitched a complete game and only gave up one earned run on two hits while striking out six. Kevin Powers was 2-4 with 3 RBI's while Pat Vartanian was also 2-4 with 2 big singles and 2 runs scored. Earlier in the week, the squad lost a heart-breaker to Dedham, heading into the final inning up 1-0 on a strong pitching performance by Sam Larson, only to surrender 3 in the 7th and fall 3-1.
Tennis teams both get edged by Foxboro- In a one match week the Bulldog Tennis teams had their sights set on Foxboro, and despite some excellent performances, both the Boys and Girls teams were edged by the Warriors, 3-2. Winning for the Boys were Dillon Wong and Peter Hartfiel at first doubles and Chris Sullivan and Evan MacDonald at second doubles. On the Girls' side, Erica Nannery remained unbeaten on the year and the second doubles team of Pranathi Ganni and Cristina Guccione were able to pull out a big win as well.
Wins eluded both the Softball and Boys Lacrosse teams this week but both look to bounce back to winning ways this week. Playing well for the Boys LAX team in the two losses were Paul Swart, Matt Bagley and Quinn Merrigan.
