Girls’ hockey nets 2 more wins

The CHS girls’ hockey team continued its three-week winning streak with dominating performances over Westwood, 4-0, and Quincy, 7-1. At the halfway point in the season, the girls have an overall record of 8-1 and remain undefeated in league play.

As was the case in last week’s game against Medfield, the girls failed to score until the second period, but still managed to have one of the strongest starts of the season, coach Kelly Rider said. Seniors Ally Boudreau and Vicki O’Brien, and freshmen Meghan Lennon and Meghan McKenna netted one goal each while sophomore Stephanie Rizzitano finished the night with two assists. Junior Sarah Healey added a fourth shutout to her 4-1 record in goal for the season.

In Saturday’s game against Quincy, the girls began the game with a lot of controlled energy, which continued throughout the game, Rider said. Canton played well in the first period but made a few mistakes, allowing Quincy to capitalize on a handful of odd-man rushes, but senior goalie Kelly White played strong defense, denying almost every attempt.

“Before the second period we made a few adjustments and they appeared to pay off,” Rider said.

Sophomore Hayley Gaughan scored a hat-trick while Lennon had three assists. White finished the game with her goals against average at 1.0 for the season.
