SPORTS B WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2019 Lynn eld girls dashes Winthrop’s tournament hopes By Mike Alongi ITEM STAFF WINTHROP — It was a tight game for the rst two quarters, but the Lynn eld girls basketball team had a big third quarter and eventually rode that all the way to a 48-35 win over Win- throp to close out the season with a victory. The Pioneers got better throughout the game, scor- ing more points each quarter than in the previ- ous quarter. “We’ve been starting off slow recently, which is strange since we usually start pretty fast,” said Lynn eld coach Peter Bocchino,this year’s Cape Ann League Kinney Division Coach of the Year. “But I think they’re just a little overhyped with the tournament coming up. We were able to stabilize ourselves and play well for stretches tonight, and it was enough to get us the win.” Tori Morelli had a big game for Lynn eld in the win, notching a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Grace Klonsky was right be- hind with 12 points and nine rebounds, while CAL All-League honoree Catherine MacDonald had 10 points and eight rebounds. Melissa Mo- relli added six points and seven rebounds, while Caroline Waisnor had four points and three re- bounds.Both Morellis were selected to the CAL ITEM PHOTO | OWEN O’ROURKE Second Team All-Star team.
