Local high school lacrosse records continue to fall. A day after Lauren Wolff broke the all-time girls lacrosse scoring record at Peabody High, it was Swampscott’s Andrew Dove’s turn to make history.
The senior scored five goals and logged two assists to record his 208th point, breaking the Big Blue school record in their 19-9 win over Salem at Bertram Field Saturday.

Solid pitching paced the Spartans to a pair of wins this weekend.
On Saturday, Lou Vidal tossed a complete-game shutout in the 5-0 win over Lowell Catholic. Vidal allowed two hits and two walks with one strikeout.
Lee Pacheco made a handful of nice defensive plays at shortstop, and hit an RBI-single. Ryan Turenne hit a 2-RBI double and Kyle Ouellette added an RBI-single. Bobby Alcock plated the fifth run for the Spartans on a fielders’ choice.
On Sunday, Alcock tossed seven innings and allowed just one run on six hits and two walks. He fanned eight Masconomet batters in the 2-1 win. “Another outstanding effort by Bobby,” Spartans coach Derek Dana said. “He gives us a chance to win every time he’s on the mound. He got stronger as the game wore on.” Josh Mateo brought home Aedan Leydon to tie the game at 1-1 in the bottom of the third inning. The Spartans scored the winning run in the sixth with a two-out rally sparked by seniors Tyler Donovan and Jack Ward. Donovan walked and pinch-runner Connor Donahue scored on an RBI-double off Ward’s bat. “It was nice for those two seniors, Jack and Tyler, to get it done with two outs and bring in the go-ahead run,” Dana said. St. Mary’s improves to 12-6 with the two wins and hosts St. John’s Prep on Tuesday night.
“We still need to hit better but the pitching and defense has been outstanding,” Dana said. “The kids are staying with it and looking to build some momentum going into the Clancy Tournament and the state tournament.”
