Westwood won the Division state title last spring, beating the Knights 14-4 in the semis. Notre Dame won the D1 title in 2013. Second-year Knights coach Meredith Prior liked what she saw yesterday. "We lost to them (ND) by 10 last year (15-5 on April 28)," said the young coach, a former Merrimack College star. "I"m very proud of our girls. We showed them we are a force to be reckoned with. We look forward to the playoffs."
