Eight high school sports takeaways as a trio of girls’ lacrosse players join the 100-goal club – The Boston Globe
Bedford’s Finley Halloran, Tewksbury’s Emily Picher, and Hudson’s Layne Thomason all notched their 100th goal Tuesday.
Halloran tallied three times in a 15-4 win over Newton South, while Picher, who is committed to play basketball at the University of New England, did the same in a 14-1 victory against Triton. Thomason, who is bound for Fitchburg State, notched a pair of goals in a 13-6 loss to Littleton.
They weren’t the full version, but Silver Lake’s Delaney Moquin and Wareham’s Jolee Anderson both notched five-inning no-hitters Tuesday.
Moquin struck out 11 in a 20-0 win over Plymouth North, while Anderson sat down 12 in a 17-1 victory against Mashpee.
Riley Cabrera, Newton South — The sophomore enjoyed quite a day at the dish, homering twice and knocking in eight runs in a 25-7 win over Boston Latin. Cabrera has three homers and 12 RBIs in her last three games.
Teddy Conti, Minuteman — The junior goalie not only made 12 stops in a 13-4 win over Nashoba Valley Tech, but netted five points (2 goals, 3 assists).
Gian Gamelli and Cole Scanlon, Hamilton-Wenham — The duo did it all at the dish, combining for 7 hits, 7 RBIs, 5 runs, and 3 steals in the Generals’ 13-3 Cape Ann win over Manchester Essex. Gamelli, a senior, had 3 hits, 5 RBIs, 3 runs, and 2 steals, while Scanlon, a junior, collected 4 hits, 2 RBIs, 2 runs, and a steal.
Cabrera wasn’t the only one to go yard twice, as she was joined by Jackson Lucarelli of St. John’s (Shrewsbury) and Bennett Menghi of Archbishop Williams. Lucarelli, a sophomore DH, had six RBIs to beat Catholic Memorial, 16-0, and Menghi had four RBIs in the Bishops’ 10-7 win over Boston Latin.
Alannah Waters crushed a grand slam for Silver Lake, Duxbury’s Catherine Grimaldi launched a three-run blast in a 10-5 win over Whitman-Hanson, Dedham’s Elena Goldsbury put one over the fence in a 9-6 victory against Holliston, Middleborough’s Taryn Clancy left the yard, and Norton’s Liana Danubio, Paige Donahue, and Avery Tinkham all had inside-the-park round-trippers to beat Medway, 16-1.
