Conway ties state mark with 9 goals

Tewksbury-Methuen coach Arianna Rigano said Amanda Conway didn't seem extra motivated after she was shutout Wednesday.
Extra motivation or not, Conway had the game of her life Saturday against Concord-Carlisle. She scored nine, count 'em, nine goals to tie Andrea Ciarletta of Watertown High's 12-year-old state record.
It was a strange game as the Red Rangers led 3-0 then trailed 4-3 before cruising to the 12-6 win over Concord-Carlisle.
The Methuen High senior had two goals in the first period, a stunning five in the second and two more in the third, the last one coming with 6:33 to play. She had some more shots after that but didn't convert.
"That's very, very, very impressive," said Rigano. "It does surprise me, but it doesn't. She's such a hard worker and so skilled. She's a goal-scorer."
As for being held off the scorebook in the 0-0 tie against Haverhill-Pentucket-North Andover, Rigano said, "Every game she plays hard. I don't think it matters how the previous game went."
Conway had all her vast skills on display against struggling Concord-Carlisle, which dropped to 1-7.
Rigano said, "She had a couple wrist shots and some really good moves on the goalie. She had a couple she used her speed and stickhandling skills."
Conway now has 31 goals in 10 games, slightly above last year's pace when she set the state girls scoring mark of 66 in 22 games.
Conway now has 149 goals since Tewksbury-Methuen went varsity her sophomore season.
