What a season it was for Lynn Classical’s volleyball team, which finished the fall with an 18-4 record, a preliminary-round bye, and a state tournament win against Groton-Dunstable in the round of 32.

But Wednesday night, the No. 15 Lady Rams met their match in No. 2 Medfield, which escaped with a 3-1 victory on home hardwood. Final set scores were tight (22-25, 27-25, 12-25, and 22-25).

“We played great,” said Classical coach Chris LeBlanc. “They just made a few more plays.”

Not only did Classical make a run at the Division 3 state championship, but delivered some individual records this fall. Amanda Hughes eclipsed 500 kills, Mia Pento became the first member of the school’s 500-dig club, and Emma Chevalier became Classical’s first 1,000-assist club member.

Lynnfield 4
Uxbridge 0

Well, they’re the defending Division 4 champions for a reason. The No. 2 Pioneers took care of business on their home turf, cruising by No. 31 Uxbridge in a 4-0 final. Next up for Lynnfield is a date with No. 15 Gardner on Saturday (time TBD).

It was Dillon Reilly’s first game of the season after having foot surgery. He didn’t need much time to settle in, scoring two goals – each in the first half – to help Lynnfield advance. One of his goals came from Matt Reinold off a Joel Anthony corner kick, while the other was set up by Reinold and Rocca Scenna (2 assists).

Anthony scored just three minutes into the action, while defender Chris Calnan added his first goal of the year to polish things off in the second half.

“What a great game from our defense. We only gave up one or two shots and it was a good team win,” said Lynnfield coach Brent Munroe. “I thought Mohammed Ayari was really good and Brendan Reilly played great up top.”

When a team scores 15 seconds into the game, it’s typically a good sign for things to come. Sophia Morgese tucked the early goal, setting the tone in the Pioneers’ convincing home win.

Lynnfield scored two more in the opening quarter, courtesy of Taylor Valiton and Izzy Fiorentino. With a comfortable 3-0 at halftime, the hosts didn’t stop, scoring two more in the second half off the sticks of Lauren Mattia and Valiton.

The Pioneers had 15 shots on net. Goalkeeper Lauren MacDonald made three saves and faced two penalty corners. Lynnfield (14-3-3) visits No. 3 Sutton in the round of 8 (TBD).
