Hawks girls lacrosse rolls over Medford High

Quinn Gavin starred in a 20-9 Waltham win over the Mustangs last week, scoring an astonishing seven goals. Teammate Mia Kearney landed four scores, while Avery Leeman notched a hat trick as WHS emerged victorious from its first regular season game.

The win signaled a strong start for the Hawks and exemplified how well prepared the group is as the season gets under way.

Goalie Leah France was tough in net, garnering a dozen saves while Abby Morse chipped in some crucial defensive plays. France, coming off of a Dual County League Small All-League nod last season, will be a crucial component of the Hawks’ return to the state tournament.

This week is a busy one for Waltham on the home turf. Teams from Methuen High School, Westford Academy, and Acton-Boxborough Regional High School will all pay a visit.
