Pioneer field hockey in mid-season form By Anne Marie Tobin PEABODY — The Peabody High field hockey team took it on the chin this weekend, losing Saturday at home to visiting Lynnfield, 7-0. It may be early in the season, but the Pioneers were firing on all cylinders, as the Pioneers cruised to their second straight shutout win. The Pioneers dominated possession and kept the offensive pressure on the entire first half. The Tanners rarely crossed midfield and were pinned in their defensive end for most if not all of the first half, which ended with the Pioneers on top 6-0. The second half was a different story, as the Tanners gave as good as they got, creating several good scoring opportunities but they were unable to get one past Pioneer goaltender Emily Dickey (4 saves). The score might have been even more lopsided but for the joint efforts of Peabody goalies, Kiley Collela and Sydney Branga. Collela started but lasted only about 10 minutes after suffering a head injury and had to leave the game. “Both of them played great,” said Peabody’s first-year coach Tawny Palmieri. “They really made some quality saves, especially considering they were under a lot of pressure in that first half. Even though we lost, I see good things. In both of our losses this year, we have only allowed one goal in the second half, so that is very encouraging.” Lynnfield wasted no time getting on the board. Senior captain Ashley Barrett got things started with a goal just three minutes in. She tipped home a rebound off the stick of junior Lily Rothwell to put the Pioneers on top, 1-0. About three minutes later, Rothwell did the honors to double the Pioneers’ lead to 2-0. At the 18:14 mark, Barrett notched her second goal of the contest following a corner. Sophomore Jen Flynn was credited with an assist. The Pioneers continued to pour it on, adding three more goals over the next 11 minutes. With 15:35 left in the half, sophomore Madison Murphy took a centering pass from Rothwell and slammed it home just inside the left post to make it 4-0. Rothwell picked up her second goal of the day at the 9:29 mark following a Barrett corner. Three minutes later, junior Carolyn Garofoli drilled a bullet home from a tough angle nearly on the goal line to close out the scoring and send the Pioneers into halftime with a 6-0 lead. Reardon went to her bench to start the second half and was pleased with what she saw. “Some of the younger kids from the bench got a chance to play a lot of minutes, and I needed to see that,” Reardon said. “I needed to see that we do have a bench that can come in and contribute, and I thought it was great that they didn’t allow any goals in that second half. “Games like this one are tough, because you like to give your starters more time for conditioning reasons and also to work on things we try at practice, but today, they just didn’t have the time to do that today.” Lynnfield closed out the scoring four minutes into the second half with a goal by senior Lauren Gaudette, her first career varsity goal. Senior Julianne Gildea picked up the assist, her first varsity point. Peabody’s best chances in the second half came on corners. With 10 minute to go, Dado Nasso made a long run up the middle of the field and drew a corner. The ball was played into the box with several Tanners in a scrum, but nobody could get poke it home. With under two minutes left, senior captain Jessica Bacelar played the ball to Hailee Monies, who centered the ball. The ball popped back to Monies, but her shot was blocked. While Peabody dropped to 0-2, Palmieri is nonetheless optimistic. “We are very young but I see much more aggressiveness than I expected,” Palmieri said. “I see the potential and we are heading in the right direction. We had two tough opponents with Beverly, who beat us 6-0, and Lynnfield as they are two of the best teams around, so there is nothing to be negative about. “I’ve never coached field hockey before so it may take longer to figure it out, but one thing I do know is that every school has athletes and you just have to find a way to bring them out.” On the other side of the coin, Lynnfield is off to a 2-0 start and has yet to allow a goal. The Pioneers opened with a 4-0 win at North Reading last Thursday. Flynn, senior captain Abby Buckley, Murphy and Rothwell scored one goal each, while Rothwell, Barrett, Flynn and Lemieux notched one assist each. “I was thrilled with our passing and transition from one side of the field to the other,” Reardon said. “They didn’t panic if the wing got blocked, they instead passed back to the defense, so they did a really good job that way. Often, they don’t think to pass back, but it’s beginning to be something they do think to do. The second half particularly, it was just pass-pass-passpass, nothing but connecting all over the field, so that was great to see.” Lynnfield’s next game is this afternoon (Thursday) against Rockport at home at 3:45, while Peabody travels to Harry Della Russo Stadium to take on NEC rival Revere today at 4.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2018 WEEKLYNEWS.NET - 978-532-5880 11 PHOTO | ANNE MARIE TOBIN Senior captain Nathan Bass gets tangled up with a Triton player during last Friday’s game. Boys soccer starts with two lopsided victories By Anne Marie Tobin The Lynnfield boys soccer team took no prisoners last week, running its record to 2-0 with two lopsided league wins in the first week of the 2018 season. On Wednesday, Sept. 5, the Pioneers opened the season with a 6-1 road win over Cape Ann League archrival North Reading. Friday, the Pioneers made it two straight with a 5-0 win over visiting Triton at Pioneer Stadium. Against Triton, Lynnfield jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first 25 minutes of action on goals by Tommy Hauser, Max Sieger and senior captain Jonathan Luders. Triton, which spent most of the game in its defensive end, sprung to life in the last five minutes of the half and amped up its offensive attack. With a little under four minutes to play, a Vikings’ free kick from the 35-yard line rang off the crossbar and went out of bounds over the net. In the last two minutes, Pioneer keeper Jack Campbell, a senior captain, scooped up two dangerous loose balls just outside the box to keep the Vikings off the board, then made a save off a shot from point blank range just before the halftime whistle. Lynnfield started the second half strong, earning a corner kick in the 47th minute. Jack Bird played the ball to the top of the box, where senior captain David Gentile headed the ball toward the net. Triton keeper made a stretched-out, one-handed save, but the rebound popped back to a wide-open Tommy Buston, who one-touched it into a wide-open net to make it 4-0. Two minutes later, senior Jackson Cleary blasted a shot from about 20 yards out. The Triton keeper made the initial stop, but lost control of the ball. Again, Buston was in the right place at the right time to drill the rebound into the back of the net. From there, Lynnfield coach Brent Munroe had the luxury of resting his starters for a second straight game. “Triton is a very young team and they only have a varsity team this year, but they will get better,” Munroe said. “We came out and started well and passed the ball very well today, but games like this are tough because you want your starters to get touches, but when the score gets up there, you can’t do that. What we have to do instead is increase the level of intensity and compete level at practice. “With this team they love to compete and are constantly yelling at each other to go harder, to jack up the intensity. They know how to motivate each other at practice, so that’s what we have to do when you run into games like this. It will be tough in a couple of weeks when we have three tough games against the strongest teams, but for now, that’s all we can work on.” Triton fell to 0-2 with the loss. “Lynnfield is a great team,” said Triton coach David Mitchell. “Brent coaches them very well and they play the game the right way with a lot of class. We have a very small program this year, so we just need to stay positive and focus on limiting our mental mistakes.” Lynnfield 6 North Reading 1 The Pioneers opened their season with a solid road win. Buston led the scoring with two goals, while Luders, senior captain Nathan Bass, Hauser and Sieger also scored. “Our main guys scored today, which was good, because I didn’t know to expect in the first game of the season,” said Munroe. “ It was a close game, 2-1, about 20 minutes in, but then we scored three goals from there on, so in the second half we were able to get the younger kids in and they did a good job.
