Girls’ hockey team ends regular season with wins over KP, Quincy

The CHS girls’ hockey team finished off the regular season with two more wins — over King Philip and Quincy — remaining undefeated in the league with 14 wins and an overall record of 15-2-1.

The girls began the week with their senior night, which ended with a 7-0 shutout of KP. Before the game the team honored its ten seniors — captains Vicki O’Brien, Kelly White and Kinsley Willis, and Ally Boudreau, Ellie Carten, Allie Jones, Nicole Marcone, Maria Menconi, Jackie Rooney and Jenna Zannino.

The girls started off strong with four goals in the first period and rode the momentum throughout the game. Carten netted her first goal of the season against KP’s Alyssa Siegmann. Sophomore Stephanie Rizzitano netted two goals in the KP game while junior Molly Phalan, sophomore Hayley Gaughan, and freshmen Julia Murphy and Meaghan McKenna scored one goal each.

The game against Quincy proved closer, with the Bulldogs inching out a 4-3 win. Coach Kelly Rider said the game was not one of the team’s best and described Canton’s mistakes throughout the game as “uncharacteristic.” 

“I think we have been playing very well,” Rider said. “If we had to have a poor game at some point I think we would much rather it have been last Saturday than once we get into the playoffs.”

Rider said she expects the girls to get right back on track and continue to work hard to succeed in the postseason.

This Saturday Gaughan, Jones, McKenna and Rooney head to the all-star game to represent CHS. Additionally, the Canton coaching staff will be coaching the North all-star team.
