A four-goal second quarter was more than enough for the Frontier field hockey team, as the fourth-seeded Redhawks scored all of their goals before halftime en route to a 6-1 win over No. 29 Franklin Tech in the MIAA Division 4 Round of 32 on Friday in South Deerfield.
Frontier (16-2-2) advanced to the Round of 16, where it will host No. 13 West Bridgewater at a date and time to be determined. West Bridgewater blanked No. 20 Stoneham, 3-0, in its Round of 32 game on Friday.
“We talked about it at practice, now we’re entering the state tournament and if you don’t win, you don’t advance,” Frontier coach Missy Mahar said. “We reminded them that this is what’s at stake. I think coming off a championship game [against Greenfield] on Monday, it’s just trying to refocus them. We’ve got to lock it back in.”
Harper Modestow, Rowan Reilly, Addison Harrington, Ashley Taylor, Stella Heflin and Lauryn Kalinowski tallied for the Hawks, which led 2-0 after one quarter and 6-0 at half. Harrington, Elsa Brown, Taylor, Macy DeMaio, Claire Kirkendall and Nora Sloan notched assists.
Hannah Gilbert broke up the shutout with a goal for the Eagles (12-6-2) in the fourth quarter assisted by Katy Lengieza. Madison Markwell made 20 saves in net for Tech, a performance that impressed Mahar.
“She had an amazing game,” the Frontier coach said of Markwell. “She had some really good saves in some crucial moments.”
