Diego Tejada and George Grace are

Higgins Middle School sixth graders

for most of their weekdays — until late

afternoon when they turn into budding

inventors.

The friends count the creativity lab

in the bowels of the Peabody Institute

Library as one of their hangouts for

reasons they assume are obvious to

anyone. After all, the lab is equipped

with a 3-dimensional printer, sound

studio, vinyl cutter, large scale printer

and embroidery machine for creating

fun stuff like the stickers Tejada makes

for his friends.

Tejada and Grace used the 3-D printer

Monday afternoon to create a “pop socket”

for Tejada’s phone and a miniature carrying

case for Grace’s earbuds.

“I tried to make my own charger for my

phone,” Grace said.

failing at creating something is the process

By Thor Jourgensen

Weekly News Editor

Eastern Bank executives said the firm owes its

100 percent Corporate Equality Index score in

part to employees who made Peabody’s first Price

March a success last year.

More than 70 Eastern employees marched in

Pride celebrations around Greater Boston, including

Peabody’s inaugural “Peabody Celebrates

Pride” march and festivities last June 29.

America’s oldest and largest mutual bank,

Eastern for the seventh consecutive year, received

a 100 percent score on the Human Rights

Campaign Foundation’s 2020 Corporate Equality

Index (CEI).

In a statement, Eastern called the index the nation’s

premier benchmarking survey and report

on corporate policies and practices related to

LGBTQ workplace equality.

Eastern Bank shows its pride

“We are long-standing advocates

of diversity, equity and

inclusion, and are fully engaged,

across our workplace,

philanthropy and advocacy,

with making equal rights and

opportunity for all people a reality,”

said Bob Rivers, Chair

and CEO of Eastern Bank.

The 2020 CEI rates organizations

on criteria in several

areas, including non-discrimination

policies and workforce

protections, employment benefits,

organizational competency

and accountability around

LGBTQ diversity and inclusion,

public commitment to

LGBTQ equality, and responsible

citizenship.

Advocating for and defending

LBGTQ rights has long been

important to Eastern, the bank

said in its statement.

Eastern contributed hundreds

of thousands of dollars to community

partners serving the

LGBTQ community. Eastern

also helped the Massachusetts

LGBT Chamber of Commerce

to organize the first job fair as

part of the Trans Club of New

England’s long running First

Event conference.

Eastern’s “Equality Under the

Blue” employee network was

highly visible at community

events across New England,

including an observance of the

Stonewall Uprising and during

Pride Month.

Planning for Peabody’s first

Pride celebration began when

Lisa Geczi, event coordinator

for Peabody Main Streets,

reached out to the North Shore

Alliance of Gay and Lesbian

Youth (NAGLY), a Salem

nonprofit whose mission is

to respect, educate and empower

lesbian, gay, bisexual,

transgender and questioning

(LGBTQ) youngsters.

Centered on Courthouse

Plaza, the Pride Day included

a family-friendly festival with

face and rock painting; a pop-up

pub with music, lawn games,

drag queens and impersonators.

The celebration enjoyed

enthusiastic city support and

built on national celebrations

marking the 50th anniversary

of the Stonewall riots in New

York City and local efforts for

LGBTQ outreach.

Tony Leone, a 2011 graduate of

Peabody Veterans Memorial High

School, and NAGLY volunteer

said more than five dozen youth,

ages 14-23 gather weekly at their

offices at the Witch City Mall for

two hours to discuss a variety of

topics. The groups are divided

by age. They come from all over

the North Shore, including Lynn,

Lynnfield, Peabody, Saugus,

Swampscott, Marblehead, and

as far away as Springfeld and

Worcester, he said.

For its longstanding commitment

to Greater Boston’s

LGBT community and stalwart

support of the LGBT community,

Eastern was honored with

J Barrett supports Family Promise

Boston, a non-profit organization

that strives to return newly

homeless families to economic

self-sufficiency.

“We reside in such amazing

part of the country but with

those benefit comes high

housing costs’” said Realtor

Tyson Lynch, one of J Barrett

& Company’s fundraising organizers.

“It was both disheartening

and enlightening to learn

that so many working families

are without homes due to those

factors. Family Promise provides

their clients with a home

and with the tools so that they

will never experience homelessness

again.”

“We are very proud to support

such an amazing organization

that helps our neighbors on

the North Shore,” said J Barrett

President Jon Gray, adding:

“Family Promise makes a significant

impact on the issue of

homelessness that is, unfortunately,

a reality today regardless

of geographic location.”

Family Promise works intensively

with a small number of

families at a time, dedicating

many hours per week to ensure

each family has the services

they need to be successful.

This includes a financial

literacy course, job skills assessment,

monthly budgeting

accountability and other services

as needed, such as family

therapy, crisis intervention

or therapeutic mentoring.

Children are able to continue

their usual school routine and

remain in their normal school

system, providing them with

a sense of stability during this

time of transition for their

family.

“The donation from J Barrett

& Company allowed us to assist

two of our recently housed

families,” said Family Promise

Executive Director Rachel

Hand, adding, “In one case, the

funds covered the purchase of

a washer and dryer, which will

save them hundreds of dollars

in laundromat costs. We will

also help one family purchase

a vehicle. Last year because of

homelessness their youngest

son was forced to give up

soccer because his mother

could not consistently get him

to practice. This year all three

children will be able to continue

in their beloved sports

programs.”

Established nationally in

October, 1986 and on the

North Shore since May, 2013,

Family Promise is committed

to keeping families

together during their time of

homelessness and to helping

them through the process of

finding support and housing

by using existing resources in

an interfaith network of local

congregations.

homelessness,” said Lynch.

Through Family Promise,

households receive meals and

overnight lodging at houses of

worship that take turns sheltering

families one week at a

time. During the day, guests

have access and transportation

to a Day Center where professional

social workers help them

attain employment, sustainable

housing and other services as

needed. Families engage in

intensive case management

and receive monthly aftercare

services.

This community-based response

to homelessness has

proved to be efficient and

lasting. None of the families

that have “graduated” from

the program have experienced

homelessness again.

Established in January 2007,

J Barrett is a service-oriented

company that has quickly

become the premier privately-owned

real estate firm on

the North Shore. The company

serves the North Shore and

Cape Ann areas from offices in

Beverly, Gloucester, Ipswich,

Peabody, and in Prides

“The decision to support

Family Promise came directly

from our agents. They recognized

the significant accomplishments

of the organization

and wanted to help,” said Gray.

said.

Educated at the

Massachusetts Institute of

Technology, Ahearn was on the

community panel that worked

to make former teen librarian

(now library director) Melissa

Robinson’s idea of creating

the lab a reality. He passed on

a career in the video gaming

industry to take a job at the library

in 2014.

The lab is open Monday for

teenagers and on Saturdays

for all ages with Tuesday and

Thursday evening reserved as

adult-only nights.

“On a slow day we get two

or three people and a busy day

regimen for two

years.

“It’s quiet and they have

snacks,” she said.

Teen Librarian Joanna Corea

tries to help students who use

the lab channel their ideas into

interests that will outlast their

school careers.

“I get really excited about the

kids. I love to see them come in

said.

from the sale of each gift card

directly funds the Foundation’s

scholarship and graduation programs.

In addition, shoppers can

shopper donations.

“At Simon Youth

Foundation, we are committed

to helping students graduate

and pursue their dreams

through education,” said Dr.

corporate partner, Simon, and

its Simon Supports Education

initiative, we are humbled to

help eliminate this financial

burden through SYF’s scholarship

programs.”

In 2019, SYF awarded more

than $1.6 million in scholarships

to more than 407 graduating

seniors. Over 20 years,

SYF has awarded more than

$18 million in post-secondary

scholarships to 5,000 students.

In addition to the community

scholarships, 11 regional

awards called “Awards of

Excellence” will be given to

top candidates. Additionally,

Northeast Arc lands

employment grant

DANVERS — Northeast

Arc, a not-for-profit organization

that helps children and

adults with disabilities become

full participants in the community,

has received a grant from

the United States Department

of Labor’s Office of Disability

Employment to increase employment

opportunities for

people with disabilities.

The second-largest of 700

Arcs in the United States,

Northeast Arc was one of five

Arc chapters selected across

the country to participate in the

project.

The National Expansion of

Employment Opportunities

Network (NEON) initiative is

designed to develop strategic

plans to increase integrated

employment opportunities for

people served, including those

with significant disabilities and

mental health disabilities.

“Our application for the grant

highlighted our success in providing

integrated competitive

employment for nearly 60 years,

including the development of

innovative small businesses

to provide training,” said Tim

Brown, Director of Innovation

and Strategy, Northeast Arc.

“As minimum wage and health

care costs increase, we need to

ensure employers will continue

to consider people with disabilities

when making job offers.”

The grant will provide subject

matter experts to work with

each organization to help develop

strategic initiatives and

plans.

The Northeast Arc’s goal is

to work with these experts to

translate its current employment

model successes to include

people with more significant

disabilities. Arc also plans

to evaluate current small businesses

and training programs,

recommend changes, and identify

new models to explore.

The plan also calls for developing

tools to evaluate five-year

regional employment trends so

the organization can implement

training to better prepare people

for the future.

Northeast Arc (NeArc) serves

more than 15,000 people in 190

Massachusetts cities and towns

each year through programs

including Adult Family Care,

the ArcWorks Community Art

Center, Autism Services, Black

Box Theater and Breaking

Grounds Café.

Singer: Social Security

for minors, Part Two

If you have minor children

at home, Social Security

benefits may be available to

them. Know these rules and

get maximum benefits for

your family.

If you’re retirement age and

drawing social security yourself,

any minor children in your

home may also qualify for social

security benefits. Here are

a few specific situations you

might encounter and the rules

surrounding them.

What if a parent is deceased?

The children of deceased

workers, and the surviving

spouse who is caring for the

children, are all eligible to receive

a benefit of 75 percent

of the worker’s PIA, subject to

the family maximum. The children’s

benefits may continue to

age 18 (19 if in high school);

the caretaker’s benefit may continue

until the youngest child

turns 16.

When the surviving spouse

turns 60, she becomes eligible

for her own survivor benefit. If

she claims the benefit at 60, it

will be reduced to 71.5 percent;

if she claims it at her full retirement

age, she will receive the

full amount, or 100 percent of

the late worker’s PIA.

What about grandchildren?

More common than retirees

with minor children are retirees

caring for grandchildren. Can

you get Social Security benefits

for your grandchild?

Generally no, unless you

have adopted the child or the

child’s parents are deceased or

disabled. If the parents are deceased

or disabled you should

talk to SSA about available benefits

for the child, either on your

record or on one of the parent’s

records.

What about adult disabled

children?

Children who become disabled

in childhood may receive

benefits on a parent’s record

after the age of 18. These benefits

may continue as long as the

child is disabled.

Note, again, that the parent

on whose record the benefit is

being paid must have filed for

his benefit. If, when a disabled

child turns 18 the parent is not

yet eligible for Social Security

retirement benefits (or wants

to delay filing), the child may

be eligible for Supplemental

Security Income (SSI). Then

when the parent files, the

child can switch to the Social

Security dependent benefit

off the parent’s record, if it is

higher.

Once again, it is generally not

worth filing early to entitle your

children to benefits. This is true


even if they’re disabled.

However, this is only a rule of

thumb. Consult your financial

advisor and review your entire

retirement plan before making

any Social Security claiming

decisions.

Parents as representative

payees

If your child is eligible for

Social Security benefits, you,

or someone you appoint, will

serve as a representative payee.

The representative payee manages

the child’s Social Security

benefits and ensures they are

used for the child’s personal

care and well-being. Once the

child’s day-to-day needs for

food and shelter are met, you

can use the money to attend to

their other needs. See SSA publication

no. 05-10076 “A Guide

for Representative Payees.”

Helping young children achieve greatness

COURTESY PHOTO

Dr. Jan Yost speaks at the

State House last week about

the READYGO early childhood

education expansion

initiative.

Weekly News staff report

Foster Street-based North

Shore Community Action

Program, Inc.’s workforce development

services will benefit from

a new early education initiative

focused on training teachers.

The Massachusetts

Association for Community

Action (MASSCAP) pledged

its Readying Educators And

Developing Young Children for

Great Outcomes (READYGO)

program will work with colleges

to enhance early childhood

educators’ skills.

“Everyone knows that quality

early childhood education and

care is essential for all children

and that quality early childhood

education and care requires an

educated workforce. Yet, we do

not have enough early childhood

education or Head Start

classrooms, and we do not have

a sufficient, skilled workforce

to meet the needs,” said Dr. Jan

Yost, CEO and President of The

Health Foundation of Central

Massachusetts (THFCM),

during a State House news

conference.

She said READYGO is intended

to give early educators

the tools to address the increasing

behaviors of young

children and challenging classroom

dynamics.

Backed by a $200,000 planning

grant, READYGO will

maximize the early education and

care experiences and the number

of children receiving services.

Focus areas, said Yost, will include

education and training in

adverse childhood experiences,

creating trauma-informed environments

and acquiring behavioral

management skills as well

as to enhance the workforce career

ladder for early educators

and foster more equitable educational

outcomes.

Assisted by evaluators from

the Institute for Community

Health, MASSCAP will use

a research-based approach,

working closely with Mount

Wachusett Community College

and Quinsigamond Community

College to develop courses/curriculum

to be included in early

educators degree work and certification,

as well as with community-based

organizations.

The ultimate goal of the

project is to create a scalable

solution that can be implemented

state-wide to give early

educators the skills and credentials

they need.

“We look forward to developing

training and education

approaches that over time will

enhance the early care and education

experience in classrooms

across the state,” said

Joe Diamond, MASSCAP

Executive Director.

MASSCAP is the state association

representing the 23

Community Action Agencies

operating in Massachusetts,

including North Shore

Community Action Program

with its adult education program

and other services.

‘Skeletons in the Closet’

PHOTOS | OLIVIA FALCIGNO

The Peabody Historical Society hosted “Skeletons in the Closet,” a memorialization of George Jacobs, Sr. and Rebecca Nurse following the 1692 Witch

Trials, on Sunday, Feb. 9. A large crowd, left, listens to historian Dan Gagnon speak at the presentation.

Local students earn

college honors

Rachael L. Margossian and

Giana L. Frongillo of Peabody

earned Dean’s List honors

at Western New England

University and Madison Govaert

of Peabody recently completed

research work for Worcester

Polytechnic Institute (WPI).

Margossian is working toward

a bachelor of science degree

in Forensic Biology and

Frongillo is working toward a

bachelor’s in Forensic Biology.

Celebrating its centennial in

2019, Western New England

University is a private, independent,

coeducational institution

in Springfield serving 3,974

students.

Govaert, a member of the class

of 2021 majoring in chemical

engineering, was a member of a

student team that recently completed

a project titled Assessing

Nantucket’s Relationship with

Coastal Erosion.

In their project summary, the

students wrote, “Erosion on

Nantucket is an increasing threat

to public and private property.”

At WPI, all undergraduates

are required to complete a research-driven,

professional-level

project that applies science and

technology to addresses an important

societal need or issue.

“The WPI project-based curriculum

brings students out of

the classroom and their comfort

zones and into the global

community to apply their

knowledge to solve real problems,”

said Professor Kent

Rissmiller, interim dean of

WPI’s Interdisciplinary and

Global Studies Division.

Tanner boys punch tournament ticket

By Mike Alongi

SWAMPSCOTT — It’s been a long

road for the Peabody boys basketball

team this season, but all that hard work

paid off Monday night. With a 51-39

win over Northeastern Conference foe

Swampscott, the Tanners punched their

ticket to the state tournament in their

penultimate game of the regular season.

“I’m just so proud of these guys and

how hard they’ve worked this season,”

said Peabody coach Thad Broughton.

“It’s been a grind for us all year and

we’ve had plenty of ups and downs but

this is what we did it for, to have a chance

in the tournament. I’m especially happy

for the seniors for all the work they’ve

put in the past couple years. But it’s not

over, we’ve still got work to do.”

Tyler Joyce led the offensive attack for

Peabody (10-9) notching 17 points and three

rebounds. Joangel Lugo added 15 points

and six rebounds, while Alex Jean contributed

eight points and five rebounds off the

bench. Kyle Morfis (five points) and Chioke

Onwuogu (four points, six rebounds) also

had solid games for the Tanners.

“We had contributions from everyone

tonight, which is how we want to play

out there,” said Broughton. “Joangel had

a big night, Choike and Alex made some

big plays on both ends and Tyler hit

some huge shots for us. When everyone

is working together and hitting on all

cylinders like that, we’re in good shape.”


Tyler Joyce led Peabody in its win over Swampscott with 17 points.

The Big Blue had a tough time on

the offensive end for the most part, but

Andrew Augustin nearly recorded a

double-double with 20 points and nine

rebounds. Jacob Cooke added 14 points.

Swampscott opened the quarter strong

with a 6-2 lead in the first few minutes

behind baskets from Cooke and

Augustin, but Peabody quickly found

its footing. The Tanners then went on a

13-2 run to close the quarter — thanks in

part to Joyce and Lugo — to jump ahead

15-8 after one quarter.

Peabody continued that momentum

right into the second quarter, stretching

its lead to 11 points in the early going.

But Swampscott wouldn’t go down

without a fight, rattling off an 8-0 run

to get right back in the mix down 20-17.

Peabody slowed the run as the half came

to an end, walking into the locker room

with a 26-20 lead at the break.

“Swampscott never went away,” said

Broughton. “They worked hard the whole

game and made a couple of good runs on

us. But we were able to stabilize things

and make big plays when they counted,

and that’s what pushed us over the top.”

Peabody came out and extended its

lead once again early in the third quarter,

eventually stretching the lead to 13

points at 41-28 going into the fourth.

The Tanner still led by 10 points with just

over four minutes to play, but a late run by

Swampscott made things interesting. Big

plays from Augustin and Cooke cut it to just

a 4-point deficit at 43-39, Peabody, with

about two minutes to play.

Two huge and-one plays from Jean

pushed the Tanners back ahead by six

points and helped seal the victory.

Girls basketball team is staying alive

By Anne Marie Tobin

PEABODY — Stayin’ alive.

That’s what Peabody girls

basketball coach Stan McKeen

said his team has been doing

over the last six games.

In a must-win Senior Night

game against Swampscott

Monday, the Tanners kept their

tournament hopes alive with a

50-40 win over the Big Blue.

Senior Emily Carney led the

Tanners with 17 points, while

freshman Niya Morgen led the

Big Blue with a game-high 18

points.

It was far from easy, however,

as the Tanners, who have struggled

all season long closing out

games, appeared to be on the

verge of letting another large

lead slip away, but, fittingly, it

was a senior who came to the

rescue in the final quarter.

“The last three or four games

Emily has really stepped up,”

said McKeen. “She was clutch

(Monday) especially in that

fourth quarter. We have been

waiting for her to step up as

the scorer we know she can be,

and she was that person in this

game.”

Prior to the game, the Tanners

honored their three senior captains

— Georgia Leon, Colleen


Emily Carney (with the ball) led the Peabody girls with 17 points Monday night.

Crotty and Carney.

The Big Blue led 2-0 just

15 seconds into the game

on a Maddie Hudson layup.

That was as good as it got for

Swampscott as the Tanners

went on a 20-2 run to close out

the first frame with a 20-4 lead.

Carney (two 3-pointers), Leon

and Emma Bloom hit key threes

to fuel the run.

Peabody bumped the lead

to 18 at 26-8 after Bloom hit a

jumper with about three minutes

left in the half, but the Big

Blue responded in a big way,

closing out the half with an 8-0

run to go into the halftime break

down by 10, 26-16. A big play

was a 4-point play by Morgen,

who was fouled while making a

key 3-pointer and converted the

free throw.

Swampscott started the third

with a Hudson (four points)

bucket and 3-pointer from

Morgen to close to within five

at 26-21 a minute into the third

quarter.

A 3-pointer from Bettencourt

and old fashioned 3-point play

from Amber Kiricoples gave

the Tanners some breathing

room at 32-21, but the Big Blue

answered with a big three from

Chloe Rakauskas (four points),

an offensive board and putback

from Ella Sprague (four

points, 12 rebounds) and a steal

and coast-to-coast layup from

Morgen that made it 32-28 with

under a minute to go.

Peabody closed out the

quarter with 3-pointers from

Bettencourt and Carney to

bump the lead back up to 10,

38-28 with eight minutes to go

in the game.

Swampscott got the lead

down to four, 40-36 after

Morgen converted a pair of free

throws with 4:24 to go, but that

was as close as the Big Blue

came, thanks to Carney and

Bettencourt. All Carney did

was close with six points on her

fourth 3-pointer of the game and

3-of-4 free throws, including a

clutch one-and-one that made

it 48-38 with 35 seconds to go.

Bettencourt followed with another

pair of free throws on a

one-and-one.

For Peabody, Kiricoples finished

with nine points and 12

boards, while Aja Alimonte had

two points and six boards.

“I told the girls this is like

the old BeeGees song, ‘Stayin

Alive,’ because that is what

we have been doing the last six

games with five wins,” McKeen

said. “Right now, every game

is a tournament game for us as

if we don’t win, the season is

over.”

Peabody is back in action

Tanners win tough battle vs. Beverly

By Harold Rivera

PEABODY – When you step into the

state tournament, you go in knowing

that you’re bound to play battle-tested

opponents. Thus, Saturday’s 4-3 win

over Beverly at McVann/O’Keefe Rink

was an important one for the Peabody/

Lynnfield girls hockey team.

On the one hand, the Tanners earned

a Northeastern League Hockey win and

improved their chances at earning a high

postseason seed with two more points.

On the other hand, Peabody was tested

from start to finish by a well-coached

Panthers team.

“We needed to be able to challenge

Beverly” Tanners coach Michelle Roach

said. “We had an okay first period. We

knew we had to have an even better

second period because we couldn’t sit

back. If we sit back against a team like

that, we’re going to regret it.

“Overall I’m happy with the way we’re

playing, our response and the way we

close things out. I can see where we’ve

improved during the season. We’re

fighting for league positioning and state

tournament positioning, which are both

crucial. Getting a home game is ideal for

us because we play well at home.”

Jennifer Flynn and Sammie Mirasolo

guided the Tanners’ offense with two

goals each. Flynn also logged two assists.

“I think Jenn’s working fantastic,”

Peabody/Lynnfield’s Hannah Gronko attempts to block a shot from Beverly’s

Sadie Papamechail.

Roach said. “If I had to pick one player

who has consistently stood out to me

over the last couple games, it would be

Jenn Flynn. She has come up in crucial

situations, whether she’s back checking,

penalty killing, (or) putting pucks in

net.”

evened the score at 1-1 with five minutes

to go in the opening frame, shortly after

the Panthers killed off a penalty.

Mirasolo had the last word in the first

period, scoring her first goal of the game

to give Peabody a 2-1 edge at the first

intermission.

Beverly knotted the score at 2-2 on

Emma Thibodeau’s goal just 44 seconds

into the second period. Peabody

recaptured the momentum on Mirasolo’s

second tally two minutes later. It remained

a 3-2 game for the next 10 minutes

until the Tanners closed out the

period with a crucial shorthanded goal

from Flynn. Beverly goalie Madison

Delano made the save on the initial shot

but Flynn stuck with the play, cleaned

up the rebound and fired it home to give

Peabody a 4-2 cushion.

“That pressure on the shorthanded

goal that she got, she went in, she

worked hard and she pressured,” Roach

said of Flynn. “She got the chance, she

waited and put the puck in.

“She’s someone that we can use consistently

in these high-pressure situations

and she comes out on top.”

Beverly’s Amanda Forziati made

things interesting by cutting the lead to

4-3 with 30 seconds remaining in the

game. But it was too little, too late and

the Tanners (11-5-1) hung tight for the

4-3 win.

Trailing by two points with

10 seconds to play, Peabody

girls basketball freshman Taylor

Bettencourt’s three-pointer at the

buzzer turned defeat into victory

for the Tanners, 48-47, over

Northeastern Conference foe

Beverly Friday night.

Trailing 45-44, the Panthers’

Hailey Anderson drained a threepointer.

The Tanners inbounded

the ball to Bettencourt, who

brought the ball up to the top of

the three-point arc and calmly

launched the game-winning

bucket.

“It was an unbelievable game,”

said Peabody coach Stan McKeen.

The thriller kept Peabody’s

hopes for the tournament alive.

At 6-10, however, the Tanners

need to win their last four regular

season games to qualify.

Emily Carney led Peabody with

14 points and hit four 3-pointers,

while Lauryn Mendonca had 11

points. Amber Kiricoples had a

double-double with 10 points and

12 rebounds. Emma Bloom and

Georgia Leon played outstanding

defense.

Anderson put on a clinic, finishing

with 36 points and topping

the 1,000 point mark.

At home Thursday, the

Crusaders trailed by seven

heading into the fourth quarter,

but were shutout by the visiting

Shamrocks.

“The ball just wouldn’t go in.

We had lots of good looks, but

the shots just would not fall,” said

Fenwick coach Adam DeBaggis.

Truer words were never spoken

as the Crusaders shot 21 percent

from the field and only 31 percent

from the free throw line.

“I imagine that (being shutout

in the fourth) is a first since I have

been coaching,” said DeBaggis.

“That’s not a recipe for success

for us.”

Annie Murphy had another

double-double with 16 points

and 12 rebounds, while Brynn

Bertucci had another solid effort

coming in off the bench with four

points, seven rebounds and two

steals.

Veronica Tache had three

points, three rebounds and

four steals, while Liz Gonzalez

(4 points, 2 assists, rebound),

Morginn Kotchian (2 points, 3 rebounds,

2 steals), Bella Romero (4

rebounds) and Maria Orfanos (2

points, 2 steals, assist) also helped

the cause.

Fenwick’s troubles began in the

first quarter, which ended with

the Shamrocks on top, 8-5.

Trailing 19-13 going into the

second half, Tache swished a

three-pointer late in the third

quarter to cut Fenwick’s deficit to

seven, 38-31.

But those were the last points

of the night for Fenwick. The

Shamrocks scored only eight

points in the fourth quarter as

they put heavy defensive pressure

on the Crusaders. When the

Crusaders were able to launch a

shot, the Shamrocks’ defensive

pressure proved to be too much.

The Crusaders also had trouble

coping with Feehan’s double

teams on defense.

By Dan Kane

PEABODY — When the

Bishop Fenwick girls hockey

team needed it most Sunday

morning, its power play came

through, leading the way to a

2-1 win over Oakmont on senior

day at McVann-O’Keefe

Rink.

The Crusaders controlled

play for most of the day but

found themselves in a 1-1 tie

on a 5-on-3 advantage with

just over five minutes to play.

Fenwick drew up the look they

wanted during a timeout and executed

it perfectly, with Abbey

Millman’s go-ahead goal becoming

the eventual game

winner.

“We saw a few times that we

had some openings down low,”

Crusaders’ coach John Kasle

said. “We wanted to win the

draw and get the puck back up

top to our defenseman in the

middle (Grace Morey) and then

slide it right back to where it

came from. Get your head up,

walk in and either shoot, which

(Millman) did and it worked

out, or look for the off wing on

the back door. We had sort of

seen that as the day was going

on so we just wanted to emphasize

that.”

the power play was just what

Fenwick needed from a unit

that had moved the puck well,

but had no goals to show for it.

“Sometimes they have to realize

it’s more than just moving

the puck,” Kasle said. “It would

be nice to shoot and score the

goal. We need to work on that

end product I guess if that’s the

way to put it. We have some

skilled kids, we believe in them

and I think they do a good job.

We just have to score better

down low.”

The Spartans made some

huge improvements since the

Crusaders last saw them in

December (a 5-0 Fenwick win).

Oakmont goalie Mackenzie

Donoghue totaled 31 saves in

the loss.

“We missed some chances

but their goalie played well,”

Kasle said. “I thought we

had outplayed them, but to

Oakmont’s credit they’re an improved

team.

Fenwick went on the offensive

early but came up

The rest of the second was

filled with penalties on both

sides. Both teams had brief

Oakmont got the bounce

it needed when Heather

McHatton’s shot from the

point was deflected by Hannah

game at 1-1 midway through

Things stayed tied until

Fenwick’s 5-on-3 chance.

the right faceoff circle and her

goal put the Crusaders back out

Fenwick kept up the pressure

over the final few minutes, preventing

Oakmont from pulling

said. “Things are good and
