LYNNFIELD — Last Friday evening, the Lynnfield High girls basketball team lost, 43-31, to visiting Triton. The Vikings were able to compete the season sweep over the Pioneers as they won the first meeting, 52-47, back on Jan. 9th.
This was also Lynnfield’s Senior Night as captains Lucy Cleary and Abby Adamo and Jemima Robins were honored before the game.
Lynnfield’s record fell to 3-7 overall and 0-7 in the Cape Ann League.
Triton (8-5) led this game, 20-14, at the half and 29-25 after the third quarter. However, the Pioneers were only able to score six points in the fourth while the guest scored 14.
“We played well and were only down by four with a minute and a half left,” pointed out Pioneers head coach Sue Breen.”But we are a young team and don’t have much depth.”
Juniors Bella George and Maggie Ozanian led the Pioneer offense with 8 points each. Freshman Erika Pasquale was third with 5 points.
Molly Kimball led the Vikings, and the game, in scoring with 10 points.

On Jan. 19, the Pioneers blasted Collegiate Charter of Lowell, 68-18, at home to sweep the non-league series this year.
Just like the first meeting, this game was decided early on as the Pioneers led, 33-10, at the half.
“It was great,” stated Breen. “Our young kids got to play a lot.”
Sophomore Jaelynn Moon and freshman Emma Rose led the team in points with 14 apiece. George and Pasquale both chipped in 10 points as the team had four double digit scorers.
On Jan. 28, the Pioneers visit Pentucket at 6:30 p.m. trying to get a split of the season series.
Lynnfield then goes to Ipswich on Feb. 1 with that game also starting at 6:30 p.m.
