Medfield, 8-7 (2 OT)
Medfield senior captain Max Zuccarini scores with 2:03 to play in the second overtime as the Warriors escape with an 8-7 triumph over Tri-Valley League rival Dover-Sherborn.
Recap and highlights to come in a bit.
1st overtime
Quality opportunities for both sides, but nothing in the twine. We're off to a second four-minute, sudden-death overtime.
4th quarter
Tied, 7-7 (end of regulation)
Dover-Sherborn twice rallies to tie this game and we're headed to overtime knotted at 7. Trevor Pearson scored the final goal of regulation for the Raiders to force the extra session.
3rd quarter
Medfield, 6-4 (end of 3rd)
Very quiet third quarter with D-S scoring the lone goal early to cut its deficit to 2. Chris Whelan produced the frame's lone tally.
2nd quarter
Medfield, 6-3 (half)
Jack McDermott produced the middle goals on a four-goal outburst by Medfield late in the first half and the Warriors have come back from an early second-quarter deficit to boast a 6-3 advantage over rival Dover-Sherborn at the intermission.
Dover-Sherborn surged from its own two-goal, first-quarter deficit and scored three consecutive times spanning into the second quarter to take a brief lead.
McDermott scored his goals less than a minute apart to put the Warriors out front, and Harry Bodozian added a tally with 54 ticks to play in the quarter for the three-goal lead.
Rock solid effort for goaltender Sam Aronson so far. He gave up a few early goals when his defense failed to slide when attackers made rushes from behind the net, but he's made some tremendous stops to keep Dover quiet for long stretches.
1st quarter
Medfield, 2-1 (end of 1st)
Sloppy start but the offenses got comfy late and Medfield leads 2-1 after a quarter. Max Zuccarini and Harry Bodozian scored the goals.
Pregame
Welcome to Medfield, where the Forsberg Cruiser sets the temperature at a very April-friendly 61 degrees for today's Tri-Valley League boys' lacrosse showdown between Medfield and Dover-Sherborn.
We've got some April showers turning on and off on this overcast day, and they look like they'll persist throughout today's game, but shouldn't play too much of a role (particularly with a turf surface).
We'll be back with more updates throughout the afternoon.

Look for updates from:
- Bob Holmes: A Reading resident (Go Rockets!) and Boston College graduate, Holmes is the Boston Globe High School Sports Editor. We remind you now that his weekly picks are often made in jest so everyone just calm down when he picks against Everett for 11 straight weeks.
- Mike Carraggi: An Everett native (Go Tide!), Mike attends Eastern Nazarene college and is entering his second year with the Globe. He'll focus on Division 1 this fall, which means he'll spend a lot of time in his hometown, which Forsberg thinks is cool because the Tide have that Fried Dough cart.
- Emily Wright: A Hyannis native (Go Barnstable Red Raiders!), Emily is a senior at Emerson College and has been with the Globe since the end of July. She'll cover Division 1A and will be the first intern we've trusted to navigate her way to Dennis-Yarmouth or any other school on the Cape.
- Mike Grossi: A Lexington native (Go Minutemen!), Mike attends Northeastern and has been with the Globe for two months. He'll cover Division 2 and 2A and unsuccessfully lobbied to include Lexington in the preseason Top 20.
- Jonathan Raymond: A native of Benicia, Calif. (a suburb of San Francisco), Jonathan attends Northeastern and has been working at the Globe since the end of June. He will be focusing on Division 3 and is likely woefully underprepared for covering a game in a foot of snow.
- David Carty: A native of West Bridgewater (Go Wildcats!), David is a senior at Emerson College and has been working at the Globe for a year. He'll cover Divisions 3A and 4 because, "small school ball is in my blood."
- The bench: You'll also catch updates from our regional contributors, including Globe North's Julian Benbow and South's Monique Walker. Correspondent Brendan Hall will have updates from the Globe West coverage area and will often try to sneak in Central Mass. news.
