Ferraro was a force all afternoon and scored six goals, helping Burrillville build a comfortable first-half lead before running away with things in the second half. Olivia Fullam added three goals and Jenna Corrao and Olivia Handy were instrumental on the defensive side of the field, keeping Smithfield from putting together runs to get back in the game.

After seeing their lead dip at halftime, the Clippers made things more comfortable in the third quarter before finishing strong in a 17-12 win over the Islanders.
Cumberland led 4-2 after the first quarter, but grew the lead to 8-4 before Middletown popped two goals late to cut the deficit to two at halftime.
Gwen Ross was the focal point of the Clippers’ first-half attack and with the defense locked in on her, it allowed her teammates to cook. Cumberland spread the scoring out in the second half, built a four-plus goal lead it was able to maintain before Ross put the exclamation point on the win with a goal with 9.4 seconds left to play.
Ross led Cumberland with seven goals and Izzy Beitler had three. Brooke Tellier, Emily Bourke and Lucy Biggs scored two goals apiece and Abby Skurka dished out five assists.

No. 5 Bay View 8, No. 4 East Providence 7
In a rematch of last year’s Division III final, the defending champs continued their quest toward a second straight title as Kate Shields was huge in next and the Bengals’ offense got the job done in an 8-7 win over the Townies.

Kenna Wigginton led East Providence with five goals and Kloey Iacovone and Alyssa Karalekas scored the other two. Ava Williams made 11 saves in the loss.

Division IV
No. 3 Tiverton 13, No. 6 Scituate 6
The Tigers found themselves in quite a battle in the first half, but dominated the final two quarters to pull out a 13-6 win over the Spartans.
Tiverton and Scituate played a back-and-forth affair in the first two quarters and went to halftime tied at six. Whatever speech Tigers’ coach Rachel Motta gave worked, because they dominated on the offensive side of the field and didn’t give up a goal, outscoring Scituate 7-0 in the final two quarters.
Zoe Peckham was Tiverton’s top goal scorer, getting six in the game. Julia Polofsky was right behind her with five goals and one assist. Maeve McHugh finished with six assists and Elyse Meyers made 11 saves in goal.

Coventry had Lincoln on its heels in the first half and led 7-3 before the Lions roared back in the third quarter, sending the game to the fourth quarter tied at seven.
The Oakers led 9-8 with under one minute left when Miguel made her first big play of the game, racing toward the crease and getting the game-tying goal with 20 seconds left to send the game to overtime.
In the second half of the first overtime, Spencer Cameron found Miguel, who converted the goal and kept Lincoln’s season going.
Miguel led the Lions with five goals and Taylor Marsh scored two. Meg Delisle took over in goal in the second half and was instrumental in the Lincoln comeback.
