THE HORNETS earned their own league championship banner for their role on the the Peabody/Lynnfield/North Reading girls’ co-op hockey team who won the Northeastern Hockey League with a 17-5-2 overall record. The NR girls helped the team make history as they won two games in the Div. 1 state tournament for the first time in PLNR history, including a 4-0 win over St. Mary’s, a team who beat PLNR twice in the regular season. Hornets made up the majority of the roster with 11 of the team’s 21 players hailing from NRHS. In the front row from left to right: Maria Pierce, Kaila Griffin, Lily Piscatelli and Anya Pineo. In the back row from left to right: Audrey Buckley, Samantha Mirasolo, Jeny Collins, Jessica Robert, Charlotte Grant, Paige Thibedeau and Ella McTeague. (Dan Pawlowski Photo)
