Final score

Wildcat hat trick

Whittier’s Anthony Licciardello scored a hat trick as Amesbury/Whittier boys hockey blasted Minuteman 8-0.

Landmark day for Knights

Freshman Tyler Rogers and sophomore Nick DiDuca each scored their first varsity goal as North Andover boys hockey exploded for four goals in the third period in a 4-1 victory over Westford Academy.

Soucy’s score enough

Cody Soucy’s second-period tally was enough to give Salem a 1-0 win over archrival Pinkerton.

Morton nets career high

Junior forward Jackson Morton, a three-year starter, scored a career-high 33 points, including hitting five 3-pointers, but Sanborn boys basketball lost 70-64 to Prospect Mountain.

Another double-double

Sachems impress again

Pentucket’s girls basketball team used its defense to remain unbeaten and defeat a good team in the process, whipping previously unbeaten Billerica, which had been ranked in the top five in Eastern Mass. by a 59-39 margin. Kelsi McNamara led three players in double figures with 15 points and the Sachems (6-0) drilled eight 3-pointers, but the key was the defense, which held UMass Lowell-bound point guard Brittany Lomanno scoreless in the second half.

Last-second win

Becca DeBaldo poured in 22 points, including netting a layup with 1 second left to lift Pelham girls basketball 45-43 over ConVal.

Riley rolling
