High Schools: Hopkinton girls’ lacrosse starts fast, holds off MV for 21-11 win
Published: 5/19/2021 9:50:00 AM
The start of Tuesday’s game was just about perfect for the Hopkinton girls’ lacrosse team – the Hawks scored nine unanswered goals on their home turf against Merrimack Valley. The Pride could have packed it in from there, but MV came back to cut the deficit down to just three goals by halftime.
“The girls knew they couldn’t allow Merrimack Valley to keep that momentum and get back in the game, and in the second half they did just that,” Hopkinton coach Mike Zahn said.

While most area high school lacrosse teams open their season on Tuesday, the Concord High boys started last week with a pair of games against Bedford. But with the 2020 season lost to COVID and a shortened 2021 preseason without scrimmages, the Crimson Tide took a different approach to Tuesday’s season opener in Bedford.
