Hingham ends ice ladies’ three-week stretch of undefeated play

After three weeks of undefeated play, the CHS varsity girls’ ice hockey team lost 6-1 to Hingham, but rebounded at the end of the week with a 7-0 shutout over Boston Latin Academy.

The girls started off strong against Hingham with freshman Meghan McKenna netting the game’s first goal. With two-and-a-half minutes left in the first period, however, the girls began to make mistakes, and Hingham scored three consecutive goals.

“Because we haven’t been in similar situations this year and we haven’t faced too many challenges, it was hard for the team to rebound and come back,” coach Kelly Rider said.

The girls regained their composure in the third period, playing stronger offense and defense.

“I think it served as a good learning experience for the girls,” Rider said, reflecting on the game. “Hopefully, when we face stronger teams and are challenged more in the future, we will be able to persevere.”

The girls showed the strength they’re known for in Sunday’s game against Boston Latin. McKenna and fellow freshman Meghan Lennon scored two goals, while seniors Ally Boudreau and Jackie Rooney and sophomore Stephanie Rizzitano netted the Bulldogs’ three additional goals. Rider said the Boston Latin goaltenders played well and made a lot of good saves, but Canton was able to capitalize on rebounds and battles in front of the net. Junior Sarah Healey was in goal for the shutout, her fifth of the season.
