Margaret McSpiritt scored with six minutes remaining in regulation and No. 3 Londonderry made it stand up for a 1-0 win over No. 10 Timberlane. Tori McCombs had the assist for the Lancers (15-2-1) and Elise Berry made four saves to secure the win. Timberlane received a fine effort from keeper Courtney Lins, who made six saves.

The Saltalamacchias produced three goals (Elise had two and Sammi Jo had one) in Timberlane's 4-1 victory over Spaulding. Sammi Jo also had two assists while Amy Green added a goal and assist for the Owls (6-2). Timberlane goalie Courtney Lins had seven saves and defender Sam Wheeler was on top of her game.

After toppling Bishop Guertin, 3-1 on Tuesday, surprising Timberlane (5-1) had already eclipsed its entire win total (4-9-4) from 2006. While coach Jeff Petry is quick to point to a core group of six seniors who have been starting since they were freshmen as one of the biggest reasons for the turnabout, he can also point to junior defender Leah Swanson.

Timberlane scored a pair of goals in the second half to blast past Trinity 3-1. Kristen Norton and Susanna Bicknell each scored for the Owls.

Amy Green scored one minute into the second half to break a scoreless tie and help pace Timberlane to a 3-0 win over Concord. Sammi Jo Saltalamacchia and Kristen Norton also scored for the Owls, who got a strong effort from goalie Courtney Lins (6 saves).
