In the Sport-light – This week’s Hull sports highlights — The Hull Times

Division IV relays, with six medal-winning teams, including:

• Fifth place, shot put: Jonah Smith, Dan Gianibas, Owen Bechtold

• First place, high jump: Joshua Miller, Lawrence Bodley, Chris Resnick

• Fourth place, SMR 1600 relay: Sam Tuchmann, Lawrence Bodley, Chris Resnick, Finn Walsh

• On Saturday, April 27, the Nantasket Nor’easters were scheduled to sail three matches in a quad meet at Hull Yacht Club. The wind didn’t fill in until after 12:30 p.m., so only four of the scheduled six matches took place. The Nor’easters are a high school sailing team made up of students from Hull and Cohasset and are supported by Sail Nantasket, a non-profit dedicated to supporting youth sailing locally.

First up, in breezy 15- to 20-knot winds, the Nor’easters sailed a great first match of the season, beating Scituate five races to zero. Next up was Boston Latin. Last year Boston Latin was just too much for the Nor’easters to handle, beating them in two matches and keeping the Nor’easters out of the playoffs. Nantasket raced to a 4-1 win, frustrating Latin at every mark. After two lengthy protests and some negotiation between the teams over what additional protests were worthy of pushing forward, the 4-1 result stood and the Nantasket Nor’easters celebrated their two wins to start what promises to be a successful 2024 campaign.

• Girls 5/6 Soccer beat Cohasset on Saturday, 6-1, bringing the team’s record to 3-0 on the season. Aubrey Littlefield lead the way in scoring with four goals. Piper Yakubian and Stella Palermo each added a goal for the Pirates. Nadia Schultz and Ellie Kiley played solid games in midfield. Hull hosts Hingham Saturday morning at 8 a.m. at the high school field.

• The Boys 5/6 Soccer team played its best soccer to date this past Saturday, hammering Pembroke, 7-1 on the road. The game featured stellar performance by the impenetrable defense line, headed up by Billy Littlefield and Slava Rzhevskii. The midis and strikers had excellent performances, with Macklin Concannon scoring three goals, Henry Littlefield with three goals, and Eathan Medina with one goal.

• The Boys 5/6-2 Soccer Team played Kingston on Monday, finishing with a tough 1-2 loss. Cody Miller anchored the defense. Nick Mihal was in goal for the second half and saved a great penalty shot. Joe Elisii-Johnson had multiple breakaways and shots on net and scored Hull’s only goal. Jacob Greenberg, Reefe Markowitz, and Charlie Montgomery also had notable performances.

• The Boys 3/4 Soccer Team 2 was at it again, beating Carver this past Saturday. The boys –Owen Bilodeau, Ty Bilodeau, Jordan Dunn, Jack Gregorio, Harrison Jones, Braedyn O’Hare, Liam Palermo, Luke Panetta and Zack Shea – played a great game and showed tremendous sportsmanship toward their opponents by not playing to their fullest potential.

• Girls 7/8 Soccer battled hard and won, 2-1, against Marshfield, to remain undefeated on the season with a 4-0-0 record. Goals were scored by Gianna Thorne and Brianna Ramos, and the game featured strong defense by Bridgett Stamatouras and Scarlet Arevalo in net. The next game is Saturday in Middleboro.

• The Girls 3/4 Gold Soccer Team had a busy couple of days this past weekend. They notched their second win of the season with a 2-1 win over Carver on a rare Thursday night game. Magnolia Harbin and Frankie Rockett each scored, while Hannah Summers and Cate Mulvihill played strong halves in net, keeping the Carver team to one goal. On Saturday, April 27, the girls played at home and their strongest opponent yet. It was a tough loss to Plympton, but the powerhouse defense of Leah Dibley, Skylar Kaplan, Cate Mulvihill, and Charlie Ward made the opposing team work hard for any goal scoring chances. Strong offensive pressure by Jackie Collins, Magnolia Harbin, and Hannah Summers supported Frankie Rockett, who was able to get one goal by a highly talented Plympton defense. The team is 2-2 so far this season.

• The Hull Youth Lacrosse Girls 3/4 Team bounced back from last week to beat Weymouth at home on Sunday, with a final score of 10-5. First-time goalie Skylar Kaplan dominated the cage. Willa Britton zipped a pass to Sydney O’Brian for the goal. Bianka Truglia and Ryleigh Mooney had their first goals of the season, and Laila Dolan and Cordelia Hennessey added to the tally. Great defensive play came from Hadley Dolan, Hannah Summers, Cate Mulvihill, and Maddie Beck to keep Weymouth away from the net. Jackie Collins and Hailey MacLeod buzzed around on attack. The girls return to West Roxbury to take on Parkway Academy this Sunday at 11:45 a.m.

• The Girls Lacrosse 7/8 Team also beat Weymouth this week, coming out on the top end of a 12-8 score. Nelleh Huxtable scored five goals, Cassady Reilly scored two goals, and other scores were by Abby Baglione, Erin Murray, Evelyn Concannon, Tessa Schultz, and Bridgett Stamatouras. Olivia Michaelides played an excellent game in the net.

• Girls 1/2 Lacrosse scored an impressive 18-11 win over Weymouth on Sunday. It was a gorgeous day on the home turf, with points coming from Addie Chalifoux, Saoirse Gilroy, Meara Gilroy, Lennon Grieco, Margot Lankas, Keira MacLeod, Riley Musco, Eleanor Reilly, and Rae Rockett.

• Girls 5/6 Soccer played its best game yet against the Weymouth Wildcats. The game ended with the Pirates on top, 9-5. Goalies Ruby D’Errico with five saves and Audrey Lancaster with four saves led the team. The defense had standout performances from Caroline Lancaster, Abby Donovan, and Natalie Tiani, who forced multiple turnovers and helped move the ball away from the Pirates goal. Assists were earned by Deidre Flaherty, Ruby D’Errico, Nadia Shultz, Piper Yakubian, and Molly McCarthy. Payton Dunn, Eleanor Kiley, Ruby D’Errico, Molly McCarthy scored goals. The next game is in West Roxbury on May 4.

• The two D3 Softball Teams in town played a recent rematch. Hull 2 once again came out ahead, 17-9. Both teams played well and celebrated with good sportsmanship over pizza afterwards. Hull 2 offense was on fire, with almost every player hitting singles or doubles. The defensive star of the game was Abby Baglione, with two unassisted double plays at third base and two plays to first as catcher. Defensive plays by Mackenzie MacLeod, Brianna Ramos, and Robin Timins sealed the win for Hull 2. Pitchers Kelsea Dunlap, Loren Augier, and McKenzie Neal also turned in very strong performances, with a combined total of four strikeouts. The two teams will not meet again this season, and we wish both the best of luck against our other South Shore opponents.
