Girls Hockey Takes Medway-Ashland, 4-1

Editor's Note: The following was submitted by girls varsity ice hockey coach Rick Chrusciel.

Westwood and Medway-Ashland entered the game unbeaten on the season Tuesday night at the Perelli Arena in Franklin.

Senior Liz Stuehr put Westwood up 1-0 early off a nice pass from Olivia Fay. Westwood then made it 2-0 when Meghan Kelly scored on a setup from freshmen Kat Heidelberger and Lulu Swartz. 

Swartz then stole the puck inside the Medway/Ashland zone and put it in the net for a 3-0 Westwood lead after the first period.

Medway-Ashland (3-1-3) got one back midway through the second period. Westwood (5-0-1) got that one back, however, within a minute on a goal by Kelly Healy, setup by Kim Egizi and Ella Hazar.

Medway-Ashland had a chance to get back into the game with a 5 on 3 power play in the third period, but Ella Hazar, Kelly Healey and Katie Horsfall killed off the power play with excellent positional play.

Westwood goalie Courtney Fay then shut out Medway-Ashland to keep the final score at 4-1.

The Wolverines head to Belmont on Monday for a 10:30 a.m. matchup.
