Team | 1 | 2 | Final |
---|---|---|---|
Winnacunnet | 7 | 3 | 10 |
Windham | 5 | 6 | 11 |
Ali Connors scored with about three minutes left to give Windham an 11-9 lead and the Jaguars held on to beat Winnacunnet 11-10 in the Division 2 state semifinals.
Windham, which has moved up after winning the Division 3 crown the previous two years, got off to a slow start. The Jags trailed 7-5 at the half despite three goals and an assist from Courtney Sweeny.
Tori Cipollone (10 saves on the day) and the No. 1 Jags, though, were up to the task against the No. 4 Warriors.
"Tori had quite a few big saves. She's so solid. She's just just had a great career," said coach Jill Bartlett.
Melissa Cino led the 15-2 Jaguars with four goals while Sweeny and Connors added three apiece.
Windham will have a formidable task ahead Tuesday at SNHU for the three-peat. Bedford edged the Jags 16-14 on May 16.
"It should be a very interesting rematch," said Bartlett, whose team's only other loss was to Division 1 Pinkerton.
