Girls' lax
upset bid cut short by rain
By Jay Turner

Apparently,
not all upsets are meant to be.
 Although
there was plenty of lacrosse left to play, the CHS lady Bulldogs
were at least in a position to pull off the unthinkable Friday —
a defeat of Hock powerhouse King Philip on its home field — when
officials were forced to cut the game short due to dangerous
weather conditions.
The girls
had been crushed at home in the teams’ first meeting this
season, but this time Canton was playing much better and had
battled the Warriors to a three-all tie before action was
suspended just 11 minutes in. Despite the strong start, the
Bulldogs will have to try to duplicate the effort this
afternoon, as the game will be replayed in its entirety
beginning at 4 p.m.
Prior to
Friday, Canton had been riding a three-game winning streak,
which culminated in a well-executed, 14-7 victory over North
Attleboro in the team’s final home game on Wednesday.
Brittany
Lyons broke her own record for points in a season with a
six-goal, four-assist performance, and Allie Boudreau, who had
an outstanding previous week coming off a knee injury, continued
to dominate with four goals and four assists.
Meaghan
Daly, Arielle Spadea, Nicole Marcone and Sam Smith rounded out
the scoring for Canton.
Wednesday’s
game was also the final one at home for the team’s seven
seniors: Lyons, Daly, Spadea, Julie Gormley, Becca McAdams,
Gabby McGonagle and Marla Panciocco. The season will officially
end today at KP, as the Bulldogs are 6-10 and therefore out of
contention for a tournament berth.
