After opening the week with another impressive win in a 6-1 trouncing of Middleboro, the Lady Dragons set their sights on payback for one of the most crushing defeats in Duxbury field hockey history. With a chance for a share of the Patriot League title last year on Hanover’s home field, the Lady Dragons saw their dream come crashing to the ground when a foul at the buzzer gave the Indians a penalty stroke that tied the game and cost Duxbury the title.

This time out, the Lady Dragons were well aware that Hanover wasn’t intimidated by Duxbury’s record (6-1) and they would have to be at their best.

While the Lady Dragons did manage to control the action, they had trouble getting shots on net through a stingy Hanover defense, and had to settle for a 0-0 tie.

“We use our wings a lot and they were really tough on their outside defense, keeping us from getting off many shots,” said Coach Pam Manly. “They are a well-coached team and they are tough. They play a strong game and we were up to it. We play a little more of a finesse game than they do, but a big tough team like they are stopped us from getting inside to their goal.”

After taking on Scituate on Monday, the Lady Dragons will entertain Silver Lake on Wednesday afternoon at 4 p.m.
