No. 2 St. John's Prep continues to roll, defeating Lincoln-Sudbury to earn shot at fifth straight Division 1 title
'Every year is a new season,' said Prep coach John Pynchon. 'In high school sports, there is no repeating from last year. You have to start over, and this year, we've learned that in some awkward ways with some stuff that we were trying to do that we needed to rethink.' Senior FOGO Will Crawford (16 for 19 on faceoffs) set the table by winning seven of the first nine faceoffs, and Prep's ride and defense limited the Warriors (15-5) on offense with sophomore Mattheus Du Plessis making six saves during a 7-1 first half.

He sniped a thin angle shot to tie it, 1-1, and scored the last goal of the first half and first of the second to help the Rockets surge to a 9-8 lead. 'It's an awesome feeling,' Wicken said.

Venezia provided the spark at Assabet High in Marlborough to send Billerica to its first title game appearance since 2001. 'We've been battle-tested all year. We knew we were going to be in for a fight. Watching Mansfield on film, they were good, man – really, really good,' said Billerica coach Ryan Nickerson.

Haunted by a 13-4 loss against Medfield in last year's state tournament, Scituate coach Mark Puzzangara trusted his players were capable of defying the odds and competing against a well-organized and powerful Warriors team. Advertisement 'We didn't have any credit or any chance to beat this team,' said Puzzangara, whose team will face fifth-seeded Falmouth in the Division 3 state championship at Mass Maritime Academy. 'We just locked down, had a great defensive game plan in place, and just executed. We weren't going to be intimidated….They're a great team, but we know that we're a great team as well. We put it all together tonight.' Although Medfield's game plan was to shut down star senior Willy Robinson (2 goals), Scituate's supporting cast stepped up under the lights, including Spaulding, senior Owen Hofford (3 goals, 3 assists), junior Owen Quinn (2 goals), and senior draw specialist Leo Anthony who went toe-to-toe with Medfield's Johnny Olenik. 'He didn't allow [Olenik] to hurt us,' Puzzangara said. 'When he did win the draws, just defensively, we were so on-point with everything, with our slides, with our assignments, with our coverages. If we did have a little breakdown, [goaltender] Lydon O'Brien was there to bail us out with big saves.' Puzzangara and the Sailors return to the championship game with plenty of veterans who were a part of the squad that finished runner-up last year. 'I couldn't be more proud of how we played as a team,' Puzzangara said of Scituate's semifinal upset of Medfield. 'That's really what it came down to, [us] playing as a team.'
