St. Mary’s<br />
(Senior)<br />
One of the state’s top goaltenders, and one of the few to win<br />
a state title this winter, Tringale was the driving force behind an<br />
unforgettable postseason for St. Mary’s. She allowed just five goals<br />
through the Spartans’ first four state tournament games.<br />
She may have saved her best for last, however. In a state<br />
championship win against Notre Dame (Hingham), Tringale made<br />
41 saves – 14 of them coming across three overtime periods.<br />
“I really believe that she won us that game,” said coach Frank<br />
Pagliuca. “She hadn’t started a varsity game until her senior year, so<br />
think about how far she’s come.”<br />
Ella Tucker<br />
Bishop Fenwick<br />
(Junior)<br />
Despite no postseason run for the Lady Crusaders,<br />
Tucker more than made up for the lost time. She made<br />
60 saves in a game against Malden Catholic and flirted<br />
with the 500-save mark this winter.<br />
One of the top goalies on the North Shore, Tucker<br />
recorded wins against Hopkinton, Marblehead, East<br />
Bridgewater, and Arlington Catholic, among other<br />
strong performances.
