Game Notes: 2009 Season 5/21 Varsity vs North Attleboro: The Trojans finished off a rollercoaster season with a rollercoaster 13-13 tie game against North Attleboro. In a very well matched game BR lead at the half 8-5 but NA was determined not to go down without a fight and tied up the game in the last minute of the game. Jill Yung came up big with a season high 6 goals in the nonleqgue matchup, Olivia Coakley wasnt far behind with five goals, and Jess Ferrigno added two goals. Melissa Jaspon had 9 saves in the first half and Julia Coakley had 7 saves in the second half. Coming up with some huge defensive plays were Megan Gilmartin, Jill McElroy, Chloe St. Thomas, Josie Mountain, Steph Cicalis, Lyndsey Monson, and Anna Belle Hood. Strong offensive play by Shannen Heath, Sarah Connelly, Nicole Alfonso, Carly Jaspon, Kristen Jones, Kelley Gormley, Laura Brandos, Sam MacMillan. 5/20 Varsity vs Fairhaven: In a condensed unofficiated game the Trojans went 2 for 2 in their Maritime league matchup against an aggressive Fairhaven team. Goal scorers were Jill McElroy, Olivia Coakley, Jill Yung, Sarah Connelly, Laura Brandos, Sam MacMillan, and Jess Ferrigno. Goalkeepers Melissa Jaspon, Julia Coakley, and Ali Strang had the chance to play out on the field and almost got the taste of scoring!!!!! It was disappointing to travel that far and not have referees but true to form the Trojans rolled with the punches, made the best of the situation, and came off the field with smiles on their faces. 5/19 Varsity vs Fairhaven:In their last home game as seniors Vicotia Barca, Melissa Jaspon, and Carly Jaspon played well and lead their team to victory with their leadership, spirit, and dedication to the BR Girls lax team that they helped get started 4 years ago. Their Supah Glue definitely made an impact as BR earned their 4th victory of the year with a 22-15 decision over Fairhaven. Goal scorers were Jill Yung(5), Olivia Coakley(5), Jess Ferrigno(5), Kristen Jones 93), Sam MacMillan(3), and an awesome pass from Kelly Charette lead to a quick stick goal by Shannen Heath. Melissa Jaspon played well in net with 5 saves. 5/18 Varsity vs Matha's Vineyard: B-R played hard against the undefeated league Champs - MV but came up short. Goal scorers were Sam MacMillan, Kristen Jones, Jess Ferrigno, Olivia Coakley, and Jill Yung. Melissa Jaspon had 12 saves in net. Julia Coakley had 2 saves. Strong defensive play by Megan Gilmartin, Josie Mountain, Jill McElroy, Victoria Barca, and Chloe St. Martin. JV: Annabelle Hood, Kelley Charette and Abby Raymond Scored for the Trojans in this quick half of a game we played due to a scheduling error. BR definitely had the opportunity to win this game. We dominated the ball throughout the short playing time. 5/15 Varsity vs Nantucket:In the quickest lacrosse game in BR history the Lady Trojans unfortunately came up against a few road blocks and fell to the Nantucket Whalers. BR goal scorers were Jess Ferrigno(4), Jill Yung (2), and Olivia Coakley (2). Julia Coakley had 5 saves in net. 5/14 Varsity vs Barnstable: The Lady Trojans fought hard til the end in their game against Barnstable but fell 19-11. The team played well despite missing quite a few key players. The D was lead by Megan Gilmartin, Victoria Barca, Steph Cicalis, Chloe St. Thomas, Lyndsey Monson, and Katrin Albrecht. Goal scorers were Jess Ferrigno (4), Jill Yung (4), and Sam MacMillan (3). Melissa Jaspon had 15 saves in net and one awesome interception. 5/12 Varsity vs Bishop Stang: Melissa Jaspon came up with 15 huge saves in the first half and Julia Coakley had 10 great saves in the 2nd half but the Stang attack was on fire and managed to get past the Trojans with a score of 17 to 6. Trojan goal scorers were Jess Ferrigno (3), Olivia Coakley (2), and Jill Yung (1). JV: We totally broke down defensively in this game. We could not gain control of the ball and the Spartans took full advantage of that! 5/8 Varsity vs Plymouth North: In a tough nonleague matchup BR fell to Plymouth 16 - 5. The Trojans just could not get into their groove or prevent Plymouth from connecting. The Trojan attack was lead by Jill Yung with 2 goals, Jess Ferrigno (2), Olivia Coakley (1) , and Sam MacMillan (1). Julia Coakley had 8 saves. Melissa Jaspon had 3 saves. JV: The JV team was out of sorts in this loss. Plymouth was clicking on all aspects of the game, and we were struggling. Laurel Scannell and Abby Raymond scored for BR. Aly Strang had a great game in net with 15 saves. It was unfair to her to have over 20 shots on net. The great thing is that she saved more shots than went in!! 5/7 Varsity vs Dartmouth: Jess Ferrigno (5), Jill Yung (3), Sam MacMillan (2), Kristen Jones (2), Olivia Coakley (2), Shannen Heath (1) , and Laura Brandos (1) lead the BR attack in the closely matched Maritime league match up. The BR D played together and communicated well and was lead by Olivia Coakley, Jill McElroy, Megan Gilmartin, and Josie Mountain. JV: 4/30 Varsity vs Barnstable: Never underestimate the power of 20 tenacious girls who consistently play with passion, heart, desire, and carry big sticks. Unfortunately for Barnstable..they did just that....underestimate the BR Girls Varsity Lax team. The Lady Trojans played their best game of the season in the nail biting 16-15 win over the visiting Red Raiders. With a 5-0 lead in the first five minutes of the game the pressure was on from the start to hold on to the lead. With a score of 7-6 at halftime Barnstable came out shooting and scoring with a vengence. BR maintained their composure, held on to the lead and kept possession of the ball for the last 55 seconds for the game. True to fashion this season EVERY player on the team came through for the team...no one let down whether they were on the field for 5 or 50 minutes or motivating their teammates from on the sidelines. Everything clicked and their hard work and dedication paid off. Jess Ferrigno lead the scoring with 7 goals, Jill Yung had 4 goals and 4 assists, Kristen Jones had 2 goals and 2 assists, and Shannen Heath, Steph Cicalis, and Olivia Coakley scored one goal each.Assists were by Sarah Connelly (2), Olivia Coakley(1), Sam MacMillan (1), and Shannen Heath(1.) Lindey Monson, Megan Gilmartin, Josie Mountain, Chloe St. Thomas, Carly Jaspon, Victoria Barca, Jill McElroy, and Olivia Coakley played well on defense. Julia Coakley played her best game of the season with 19 saves. JV: The junior varsity lacrosse team is proving to be a threat in the Maritime league, which shows just were this new program is headed. The girls had about 15 shots on net in the first 10 mins of the game, before Abby Raymond (2g) finally found a hole and tied the game at 1. After that we played our game and scored 6 more times. Ali Ladue had a strong game in the mid-field and even took over at center, and controlled many of the draws. Her hard work paid off, with a number of assists and a goal as well. Other goal scorers were Krysta Williams (2g) Kelly Gormley, and Kendall Smith. Nicole Hamm was a huge transitional player on defense and Katrin Albrecht played well on both defense and in the midfield. 4/28 Varsity vs New Bedford: VICTORY!!! In a very evenly matched game Tuesday at New Bedford HS the Trojans once again played their hearts out BUT for the second time this season held on to the lead and won 15-14! Julia Coakley once again played like a woman possessed with 17 saves and 3 interceptions. Jill McElroy, Olivia Coakley, Chloe St. Thomas, Lyndey Monson, and Josie Mountain consistantly out hustled their opponent and set the transition into motion. The attack had their work cut out for them against an aggressive New Bedford goalkeeper but got the job done. Goal scorers were Jess Ferrigno(5), Jill Yung (3) , Shannen Heath(2), Steph Cicalis(2), Olivia Coakley(2), and Kristen Jones(1.) Steph Cicalis, Sam MacMillan and Shannen Heath played well on both sides of the ball and made a huge impact on the final outcome. JV: The junior varsity has been on hiatus in order to fill in for varsity. The experience showed as BR outplayed the New Bedford JV in all aspects of the game. Goals were scored by Krysta Williams (4) Laura Brandos (3) Abby Raymond (2) Kelly Charette (1) Laurel Scannell (1) and Kelly Gormley (1). The goals could never have been scored by those attack players, as always, without the help of the midfield and defensive efforts. Ally Strang made a number of saves, as she is getting more confident in net. While being up 12-5 in the second half, many of the girls stepped up and played positions they were not as comfortable with, in order to gain competence, if they are needed to fill in...or play varsity! 4/27 Varsity vs Marthas Vineyard: B-R came out strong and never let down despite the heat and a lack of subs in the 18-9 loss against Marthas Vineyard. The undefeated Vineyarders were caught off guard and had to regroup fifteen minutes into the game as the Trojans had the lead. Every BR player fought hard and hustled to every ground ball. The passing game and shots on goal have improved immensely. Defensively the Trojans slowed down their opponents game plan and managed to get in their heads. The BR attack managed to penetrate the MV defense despite its reputation of being impossible to get through. Jess Ferrigno came through with 3 goals, Jill Yung(2 assists) and Sam MacMillan had 2 goals and Olivia Coakley(1 assist) and Kristen Jones scored one goal each. Julia Coakley played bruised and battered and shut down the unsuspecting VIneyarders attack wtih 12 saves and 2 incredible interceptions. Shannen Heath, Jill McElroy, Josie Mountain(1 assist), Stephanie Cicalis, Kelley Gormley, Chloe St Thomas, and Lyndsey Monson played the game of their lives! Ali Ladue, Rose Derienzo, Marissa Dolloff, and Ali Strang stepped up and filled some big Varsity shoes. The Varsity team would have had to forfeit without them. 4/20 Varsity vs Plymouth North: B-R played hard in their 7-17 nonleague loss to Plymouth on Monday. The skeleton crew was led by Jill Yung with 3 goals , and one goal apiece by Krysta Williams, Jess Ferrigno, Sam MacMillan, and Olivia Coakley. Julia Coakley turned away 15 shots in a very defensive game. Megan Gilmartin, Steph Cicalis, Josie Mountain, Shannon Heath, Olivia Coakley, Lindsey Monson, and Rosie De Rienzo played well but were inundated with breakaways by the Plymouth attack. JV: The JV girls lacrosse team played well against Plymouth on a windy day. Being down 4-2 at the start of the second half, our midfield moved the ball with skill and speed, making great passes. to get ahead 7-6. Unfortunately, the game came down to penalties, and we caused 1 too many, as Plymouth was given a free position with 2 seconds left and they capitalized on the advantage and tied the game. Laura Brandos and Abby Raymond each had three goals and Krysta Williams added a goal as well as won many of the draws. Nicole Hamm played well on both sides of the ball. Annabelle Hood dominated the midfield. 4/18 Varsity vs Bourne: Although the results do not show the actual intensity level of the game against Bourne on Saturday the fact that Bourne's coach had to call a time out to regroup said it all. After Bourne "destroyed" BR in their first matchup of the season the Canalmen were unpleasently surprised that the Trojans picked themselves back up and were back for revenge. As expected , they took BR for granted and had to play hard the full 50 minutes of the game and not roll over the fearless Trojans.The BR attack was lead by Jess Ferrigno with 3 goals, Jill Yung(2), Sam MacMillan, and Shannen Heath(1). With many upperclassmen away on vacation many JV players stepped up and had some big shoes to fill. The game was very intense but finished up with a score of 8-19 in favor of Bourne. Strong defensive play by Megan Gilmartin, Josie Mountain, and Olivia Coakley.Jilia Coakley made 8 saves. 4/16 Varsity vs Nantucket:And the Trojans WIN!!!!!! What an exciting game for the first win of the season. Nantucket never gave BR the chance to sit back on their heals and coast to their first ever Varsity win. The lady Trojans were challenged from start to finish in the Maritime league matchup. The win was an absolute team effort on both defense and attack. The team played together and they won together! Jess Ferrigno took a few checks to the head for her team and lead the scoring with 4 goals while Jill Yung and sarah Connelly netted two a piece. Stephanie Cicalis scored her first win of the season and Sam MacMillan contributed with one goal as well. Once again the Defensive unit lead by Goalies Julia Coakley (10 saves ) and Melissa Jaspon( 5 saves) communicated well, hustled to every ball and made Nantucket fight for every goal they got! Who says Gorilla Glue Is Illegal? 4/14 Varsity vs Bishop Stang: The B-R Girls lacrosse team may not have won the game today but they were able to do what no other team that has played an undefeated Bishop Stang team this season has done; get in their heads, make them scramble, and rethink their game plan. For the first time this season BR scored first, then second, and came up with more draw controls than their opponent. Our offense was strong behind the scoring of Jess Ferrigno(6), Sam MacMillan, (3) , and Jill Yung, Sarah Connelly, Nicole Alphonso, and Shannon Heath with one goal a piece. Our defense played smart, tough and as a unit. Olivia Coakley, Victoria Barca, Megan Gilmartin, Josie Mountain, Jillian, McElroy, and Carly Jaspon never gave up or let down to the dismay of the Bishop Stang attack. Kristen Jones contributed with her strong cradling and consistent catches until she got hurt. Freshmen Kelly Gormley and Laura Brandos played well and came close to scoring. Julia Coakley had 6 saves in the first half and Melissa Jaspon had 8 saves (many of them diving) in the 2nd half. Bishop Stang had clearly underestimated the Lady Trojans and learned quickly that doing that was a bad idea. Things are looking up for the B-R Girls lax team. JV: After being down 5-1 at the half, BR pulled it together as a team and moved the ball down field a number of times in order to set up the attack and put 3 more goals (Abby Raymond 2, Kendall Smith 1, Laura Brandos 1) in Stang's net. The defensive effort of Rose DeRienzo, Courtney Taylor, Marissa Dolloff, Nicole Hamm, Annabelle Hood and Aly Strang kept Stang to only one goal in the second half. 4/13 Varsity vs Bourne: B-R faced a tough Bourne team today with the final score being 21 - 0. The Bourne attack ran the ball to the net every time and had a full field press on in the second half but despite being scored against 21 times the BR Trojans never put their heads down and quit. They continued to work hard and communicate but were unable to stop Bourne. We are all looking forward to playing them again very soon. JV: The girls JV team did very well against a mostly varsity Bourne team. Krysta Williams scored 3 goals in the first half before being taken out due to an injury. Laura Brandos, Kendall Smith and Kelly Charette each added a goal for the Trojans. 4/9 Varsity vs Dartmouth: In a tough league matchup the Trojans faced an aggressive Dartmouth team but never quite got settled into playing their game. The final score was 14-4 wtih goals scored by Sam MacMillan (2), Jill Yung (1), and Shannen Heath (1) .Dartmouth will be in for a surprise when they meet up with the Trojans on their home turf. JV: The JV team had their first loss against a strong Dartmouth attack. Laura Brandos, Kendall Smith and Krysta Williams each had a goal to tie the game at 3. After the half we lost our momentum. The whole team played hard, and many girls shined in a new position. Annabelle Hood played confident at D-wing. Krysta Williams controlled the midfiled, while Kelly Charette caught some great balls for the attack and midfield. Ally Strang had 10 saves in net. 4/7 Varsity vs New Bedford: After their first 3 games were washed out the Lady Trojans were anxiously awaiting the first game of the season as a Varsity program in the Maritime league and boy did they mean business!!! The whole team played hard and used the skills they had worked on in practice but unfortunately were outscored 18-16 by the very physical New Bedford Whalers. With their first game under their belts the team is ready for their next game (tomorrow at Dartmouth) and anticipating a different outcome when they meet up with the Whalers again later in the season. Goalscorers were: Jess Ferrigno (4), Jill Yung (3), Olivia Coakley (2),Shannen Heath (1) Sam MacMillan (1). Julia Coakley played well in net turning away 12 shots and Melissa Jaspon saved 2. Strong defensive contributors were Shannon Heath, Jill McElroy, Josie Mountain, Megan Gilmartin, and Victoria Barca. JV: The junior varsity lacrosse team was ready to play in their first league game, and for most, their first high school game. Ally Strang had her debut in goal and the support from her team and a strong attack . Goals were scored by Laura Brandos (3) Abby Raymond (3) Kelley Charette (2) Kendall Smith (2) Sarah Connelly and Sam Coute had one a piece. Kelly Gormley, Allison Ladue, Sarah Connelly and Sam Coute assisted in the goals and played well in the midfield. Rose DeRienzo showed experience for the defense. |
