The latest Pioneers to go the Division 1 route are the Barrett twins, Ashley and Brianna, who are taking their field hockey talents to the Atlantic-10 Conference where the duo will play at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). In front of family and friends, the twins signed their NCAA letters of intent Nov. 15 at the high school. The Barretts are following a long line of Lynnfield residents who played Division 1 level field hockey. That group includes 1978 UNH graduate Marisa Didio, who played field hockey at UNH alongside Pioneers’ coach, Mamie Reardon, and later coached UNH to an NCAA women’s national lacrosse championship in 1985. Didio also coached the UNH field hockey team to the finals of the 1986 NCAA championship and also served as assistant coach of both the USA Olympic and national field hockey teams. Other Pioneers coached by Reardon who went on to play at the Division 1 level include: Pioneers’ assistant coach Kerry Doherty and Michelle Heaslip (Boston College); Bailey Fanikos (UNH/Virginia); Lilli Patterson and Sue Mucera (Northeastern); Linda Formosa and Betsy Vance (coached at Northwestern by Didio); Courtney Goodwin (UNH); Kathy Formosi (BU); Andrea Formosi, and Jennifer Carrey (Springfield). The Barretts hit the ground running as freshmen, with each securing a starting role in no time flat. Brianna started out as a forward and moved to center-mid last year, while Ashley is a forward. This year, both players were named to the Cape Ann League First Team All-Star team. Ashley led the Pioneers in scoring this year and finished the regular season with 19 goals and 12 assists, while Brianna finished with three goals and eight assists. Both players were also named to the CAL Second Team All-Star team last fall as juniors. Former Lynnfield High soccer standout Emily Scollard, a senior on the Stonehill College women’s soccer team, has been selected to play in Saturday’s NEWISA Senior Bowl game at Merrimack College in North Andover. Scollard, a 2015 Lynnfield Haigh graduate, is one of two Skyhawks selected to represent Division II in the game, which features New England’s top senior players from Division 1, 2 and 3. Kickoff is set for noon on Dec. 1. Scollard has been a key part of the Skyhawks’ defensive unit all four years of her collegiate career, helping to lead them to two Northeast-10 Conference tournaments and two NCAA Division 2 tournament bids, their only two in program history. She also was a integral component in the Skyhawks’ 2016 NE10 championship, their first since 1995. This season, the senior recorded one assist in a 2-1 victory over Southern Connecticut State University back in early October. As one of the key defenders for the Skyhawks, Scollard helped the team with eight shutouts this season, the most since 2016 when they tallied 10, which ranks tied for fifth all-time.

The twins have been selected to play in the 2018 Massachusetts State Field Hockey Coaches Association’s annual Best of 60 Senior All-Star game scheduled to be played on Sunday, Nov. 18 at Bentley University. The twins said their interest in VCU began when they attended a college showcase at the University of Massachusetts (Amherst) last June. They were also considering Holy Cross, Fairfield, Stonehill and Bentley, but after making multiple visits to VCU, settled on VCU. “The VCU coach, Stacey Bean, was the coach of Ashley’s team at the showcase, so we got to know her there and liked her a lot so that was a big factor,” said Brianna. “We just loved the area and especially loved the weather and the campus and everything about the program, so we knew that was the place for us,” said Ashley. It was only after we got our offer that we learned from Kerry that she had played for Bean when she was at BC. We had also played many club tournaments in the area as Virginia and Pennsylvania are big when it comes to field hockey.” The twins got a relatively late start in taking up the game and didn’t pick up their first sticks until seventh In her four years, Scollard has played in 77 games, starting 73. A mainstay in the backfield, she led Stonehill to a total of 26 shutouts over her career. She finished with six assists, including a career-high three helpers her sophomore year. Scollard has excelled off the field as well, having been named to the NE10 Commissioner’s Honor Roll and Athletic Director’s Honor Roll on multiple occasions. She also received the Division II ADA Academic Achievement Award her sophomore year and the St. Thomas Aquinas Medal, patron saint of students, for having the highest cumulative grade point average on the team. A 2015 graduate of Lynnfield High School, Scollard was a four-year letter winner Alumni girls basketball game The Lynnfield girls basketball program will hold an Alumni Game on Tuesday, Dec. 18 at 6 p.m. in the Lynnfield gymnasium in honor of former LHS coach, Jim Perry. The event feautures the 2018-2019 varsity team against former alums. There will be a raffle, food and tee shirt sales. All proceeds will grade after Jamie Johnson, the director of the middle school program, encouraged them to try out. They fell in love with the sport, and promptly quit ice hockey sophomore year to devote more time to their club team, the Northeast Club Elite team, currently the top-ranked team in New England. Both Barretts will serve as senior captains of the girls lacrosse team. Ashley said the strength of her game is her reverse hit. “I’m left-handed so I had to learn to play righthanded as they don’t have left-handed sticks,” she said. “It’s much easier for lefties to score from the left side as the ball can go either high or low so it’s a much harder shot for goalies to defend.” The strength of Brianna’s game is her poise and patience in the middle. “She is much calmer with the ball and has the ability to get everyone all settled down,” said Ashley. “Basically, she does all the work to set up the goals, while I am one of the girls who finishes what she started.” While they share much in common as twins, the duo plans to strike out on their own at VCU and will not room together. Ashley plans on majoring in health sciences then go into nursing, while Brianna plans to major in computer science and then look for a career in cyber-security. Both Barretts are excited to begin the next chapter of their lives at VCU, but will always carry fond memories of their four years at Lynnfield High, especially this year’s fall season, when the Pioneers put together one of their best seasons in recent history. The Barretts said they knew going into the season that the Pioneers had the right stuff to take the team to the next level. They were right as Lynnfield came within a whisker of being “the” team to knock Watertown out of the tournament and bring their nine-year run as state champions to a screeching halt. The Pioneers had the lead with 12 minutes to go, but a couple of unlucky bounces and calls went Watertown’s way to end their dream of becoming only the second team since 2008 to hand Watertown a loss.
