Foxborough Girls' Lax Tops Mansfield in Season Opener

MANSFIELD – On a cold and windy day that would make one question if this really was the spring sports season, the Foxborough High School girls' lacrosse team (1-0, 1-0) defeated Mansfield, 13-7 on the road in Tuesday's season opener.

A quick goal from FHS Katie Notarangelo less than 30 seconds into the match along with two more Warriors' goals put Mansfield behind 3-0 less than two minutes into the game.

Goals from MHS players Jessica Buckley and Janet Maher cut the lead to 3-2. Later, a score from Lauren Beecher kept brought the Hornets back to within one at 4-3 and a striking distance with less than eight minutes left in the first half.

The rest of the game was all Foxborough as the Warriors outscored Mansfield 9-4 for the remainder of the match en route to their first win of the season.

Marybeth Sweeney of Foxborough led the game with four goals, Morgan Ames had three. Buckley led all Mansfield players with three goals.

The Hornet will travel to Oliver Ames on April 4 while the Warriors will host North Attleboro on the same day.
