A gritty Lebanon team took advantage of a late Hawks’ card to cut Hopkinton’s lead to 7-4 at the half. Lebanon hung tough, trailing 9-6 after the first seven minutes of the second half, but at that point the Hawks’ offense got to work, sparking a five-goal run and finishing with two goals in the final 30 seconds of the game.

Coach’s quote: “This game helped us identify what we need to work on for the playoffs. The girls are excited and will be ready.” – Hopkinton’s Bob Brown
