| Lady Dragons win SEMGHL hockey title |

The titles just keep coming for the Duxbury High School athletic department, as the Lady Dragon hockey team won its first SEMGHL title on Saturday afternoon at The Bog with a convincing 8-1 victory over winless Martha’s Vineyard. Duxbury escaped with a 2-1 win over the Islanders back in December, and that experience wasn’t lost on the Lady Dragons, who took just two minutes to build a 3-0 lead that took the visitors out of the game quickly. Capitalizing on sloppy play in the MV zone, sophomore Molly O’Sullivan pounced on a loose puck just inside the blue line and swooped in on goaltender Jamie Forend to give Duxbury a 1-0 lead just over a minute into the game. The quick score seemed to pump up the Lady Dragons, as O’Sullivan and senior captain Anie Grunwald combined once again just 38 seconds later for a 2-0 lead, with O’Sullivan bursting into the zone and hitting Grunwald in the slot where she wristed a shot past a stunned Forend at the 13:15 mark. It looked like it was going to be a long boat ride home for the visitors, especially when freshman Mary Margaret Donovan made it 3-0 with 13:00 remaining in the period after a harmless shot was mishandled by Forend and poked home by Donovan. Martha’s Vineyard regained its composure after the two-minute onslaught and held Duxbury off the scoreboard for the next 12 minutes until sophomore Briana Connolly one-timed a shot from the slot on a pass from junior Kaitlin Sullivan for a 4-0 lead. The Islanders hoped to get a fresh start in period two, but things only got worse, as Sullivan was stationed all alone in front of Forend and knocked home a pass-out from Connolly to increase the lead to 5-0. The ease with which Duxbury controlled the game eventually led to some sloppy play in their defensive end that resulted in MV’s only goal with 2:21 left in the second period. Miffed by costing goalie Julia Hannon her shutout, the Lady Dragons raced to get it back, as Sullivan once again stationed herself in front of the net and redirected a Connolly pass-out into the left corner for a 6-1 lead at the end of the second. After a failed Duxbury power-play to start the third period, the Lady Dragons got a major scare when Sullivan went to the ice with an apparent shoulder injury and never returned. A minute after play resumed, Connolly wheeled and dealed in the offensive end, faking Forend to the ice and sliding the puck behind her for a 7-1 lead. After killing off a pair of Vineyard power-plays, Duxbury ended the scoring for the night when junior defenseman Taryn McCall put one past Forend to end the Islanders’ day of misery. After traveling to Bourne to take on Marshfield on Wednesday night at 7, the girls will return to The Bog to face Sandwich at 3:20 pm on Saturday. |
