Paige Almeida score a goal in the losing effort as Dedham ends the Lancers' season.
Sometimes a slow start can be the undoing of a team. Despite playing well against a tough Dedham Marauders team, a rough opening 12 minutes saw the Norton High girls' team give up two-goals to Dedham in their first round match in the MIAA Division 2 South Sectional Tournament. The Lancers were unable to fully recover as their season ended with a 3-1 loss to the Marauders. The Lancers fell behind in the seventh minute when Libby Masalsky banged one in for Dedham to take a 1-0 lead. The Marauders were not done as a shot from Jenna Savi from 25 yards out found the back of the net in the 12th minute of play. With two goals within five minutes of each other, the Lancers were forced to take a time out and try to regroup. “We knew we had to score…

Megan Elliott scored two goals in the win against Millis.
It may have taken a few extra goals than usual but Norton found a way to get the job done. With one game to go before the tournament, the Lancers found a way to get the win, but not without some dramatics. “It was a tough one. Millis played well and they usually do. It was their senior night so I think they played with a little extra motivation,” said Lancers coach Todd Kefor. With a goal in the 78th minute, the Lancers walked away with a 4-3 win over the Mohawks in the final game of the regular season. The Mohawks quickly got on the board early in the first half off a corner kick. Jen Foley scored off a pass from Maddie Brosley in the 4th minute of play to put the Mohawks up 1-0. The Lancers came back shortly after when Paige Almeida …
Despite 2 goals from Kristin MacGray, the Lancers can't keep up with Medway defensively and fall 3-2.
While the Lancers have punched their ticket to the MIAA tournament, a hungry Medway team was still looking for that final win to get in too. Playing like there was no tomorrow, the Stallions took it to the Lancers and got away with a 3-2 win. Norton got on the board first after Kristin MacGray found the ball after a deflected shot went away from the goal to her in the 29th minute. The goal gave the Lancers the lead but it was short lived. Not even a minute later the Stallions responded with a goal of their own. Colleen Sheehan scored from the right after her initial shot hit the left post and bounced back to her for the second chance goal in the 30th minute of play. The Lancers took the lead shortly after the second half when MacGray got …
In a game where both teams needed a win to qualify for the playoffs, the Stallions beat the Lancers 3-0.
An entire season came down to one game for Norton and Medway. Both with 16 points to their record, the final game of the year was a de facto play in game for the MIAA soccer tournament. A win meant they were in while anything else meant the end of the season. The strong effort early by the Lancers slowly turned into a Medway victory as the Mustangs outscored the Lances 3-0 en route to a tournament birth. Despite a couple of early chances that saw Kevin Rogers just miss the top of the net in the 13th minute and Kevin O’Leary’s top shelf shot tipped over the net in the 14th minute, it was Medway that got on the board first. An attempted clear went wrong as the ball deflected off of Matt Coakley’s leg near the goal and into the Norton goal in…
