Lynnfield 4, Manchester Essex 2
The Pioneers (11-3-3) started slowly but rallied from a 1-0 first-half deficit to top the host Hornets, 4-2, Friday afternoon at Hyland Field. “We played poorly in the first half and really lacked focus, to be honest,” said Lynnfield coach Brent Munroe. “A game like today is tough because with the power rankings, you must beat these teams by at least three goals or you don’t get the points you need to have a high ranking.” Sophomore Dillon Reilly had a big game with three goals and one assist. Senior captain Alex Gentile also scored. The Pioneers wrap up the regular season Tuesday when they travel to Pentucket Regional Middle School to take on the 4-8-1 Sachems at 4.
GIRLS SOCCER
Lynnfield 1, Manchester Essex 1
The Pioneers outshot the visiting Hornets but settled for a 1-1 tie Friday afternoon at Pioneer Stadium. Lynnfield took the lead at the 27-minute mark of the first half when sophomore Emma Rose finished a feed from fellow sophomore Clara Caulfield. Manchester-Essex answered about 10 minutes later to tie the game, 1-1. Lynnfield had several good chances late in the game. With a little more than five minutes left, Pioneer junior goalkeeper Ava Gamache sent a free kick from the 35-yard line into the box to a Lynnfield striker who had slipped in behind the defense, but the ball sailed out of bounds. About a minute later, Gamache lofted a 30-yard free kick into the box. The kick was dropped by the Manchester-Essex keeper, who recovered the 50-50 ball and cleared. With under a minute to go in the game, freshman Bella Sykes broke in and forced a corner kick. Rose lofted a perfect ball, hooking toward the goal, but the Hornets’ defense was first to the ball and cleared. “I thought we worked hard and played right to the end and moved the ball pretty well, but we just have to win the 50-50 balls,” said coach Mark Vermont. “I think that’s the biggest thing – to win those 50-50 ball battles and if we do, things are a little different. But we’re just not winning the 50-50 balls.” Lynnfield is 6-5-4 and back on the pitch Tuesday at home against Pentucket (4).
