Sparked by seven goals from junior Alexa Rozelle, L-S emerges with a 14-8 triumph over King Philip in a nonleague battle in Sudbury.

L-S scored the final five goals of the first half to open a 10-5 advantage. King Philip rallied a bit in the second half, but an offsides call was quickly followed by a goal by L-S's Jess Griffin to put the hosts out front, 11-8 with 11:14 to go.

King Philip suffered from turnovers between the restraining lines and L-S did a phenomenal job cashing in on opportunities in the first half. While KP committed much of its energy to slowing Griffin, Rozelle utilized the space to score seven times, including six in the first half.

We'll have more on this one, including video highlights, later in the evening.

One other note from girls' lacrosse today: Defending Division 1 state champion Framingham fell to Wellesley, 6-5, ending the Flyers' multi-year winning streak.

L-S, 13-8 (8:17, 2nd)

Two more goals by L-S has the hosts out front by five again, 13-8, with 8:17 to play.

L-S, 11-8 (11:14, 2nd)

King Philip controlled the first 10 minutes of the second half, scoring three times to pull within a pair of Lincoln-Sudbury, but the Warriors just scored following a (questionable?) offsides call to take an 11-8 lead.

1st half

L-S, 10-5 (half)

Lincoln-Sudbury scored the last five goals of the first half, dominating the final eight minutes to take a 10-5 lead over King Philip into the intermission.

Alexa Rozelle did the most damage for L-S, piling up six first-half goals. She potted the first two goals on the late five-goal streak to help the hosts open some breathing room.

L-S has dominated thanks in large part to junior Danielle Cebra clogging the middle on defense. KP can't get anything going towards the net, while L-S has been running free down the middle.

Kendall Harty has two goals for KP, which utilized four different goal scorers in the first half.

L-S, 7-5 (6:25, 1st)

Alexa Rozelle scored back-to-back goals and L-S has the game's first multi goal at 7-5 with 6:25 to play in the first half.

Rozelle has five goals so far to pace the Warriors.

Tied, 4-4 (11:54, 1st)

We're knotted at 4 in a back-and-forth battle.

No team has had a lead more than a goal thus far.

Pregame

Welcome to sun-splashed Sudbury, where the Lincoln-Sudbury girls' lacrosse team is set to host King Philip in a nonleague showdown.

The Forsberg Cruiser sets the temperature at a manageable 46 degrees, but the sun attempting to break through makes it seems slightly warmer.

Back with more throughout the afternoon.

After seeing a bunch of boys' action during the first week of the spring, we're hopping over to the girls' side today to check out a matchup of Division 1 sectional finalists when Lincoln-Sudbury hosts King Philip this afternoon at 4 p.m.

We'll have live updates and we'll capture video highlights for the site.

Lincoln-Sudbury compiled a glossy 16-0-1 record during the regular season last spring, then stormed to the North finals before falling to Framingham, 14-3. King Philip boasted a 16-1 mark and danced to the South finals before enduring an 18-2 thumping at the hands of Westwood.

Both teams would love to get back to those championship games this spring and, while Framingham and Westwood still stand in the way, it would surprise none to see a Final Four that included those teams once again.

We'll have more from Sudbury this afternoon.
