The Massena Lady Raiders posted a decisive 5-2 victory over Franklin Academy at home on Friday, Dec. 27 and the Lady Shamrocks battled to a 1-1 tie with Clinton the same evening.
In the Massena game, the Raiders scored all they needed plus an insurance goal in the opening stanza. Meg Wilmshurst scored the opening goal at 3:17, followed by Millie King just under four minutes later. Brooke Terry punched in what would prove to be the game-winner, plus an insurance goal. The first goal was unassisted. Hannah Chilton picked up one of her three assists on the insurance marker. Breigh Nelson posted the first Malone goal with 38 seconds left in the first period.
The second period was a stalemate. In the third period, the Huskies' Vail St. Hilaire scored the second FA goal, but Wilmshurst returned Massena to a three-goal lead unassisted with a shorthanded goal with just 34 seconds left on the clock.
