Here are some interesting tidbits from girls' lacrosse in the past week:

1. The numbers are on their side -- Duxbury senior Hannah Murphy, who scored nine goals in just two games last week, received reinforcements from teammates Lilly Smith (four goals) and Christina Balzotti (five goals) in the Dragons' defeat of Pembroke and Cohasset. With such a talented trio on attack, Duxbury is certainly a force to be reckoned with.

2. Change doesn't change quality -- Andover (2-3-2), which is adjusting to a new coach this season, proved that they can still hold their own with the top programs. The Golden Warriors battled to a 17-17 tie against No. 11 Winchester on Saturday.

3. Good Friday -- Two Norwell senior captains had career-best performances in a 14-9 win over Lincoln-Sudbury on Friday. Mary O'Connell finished with six goals and five assists. Maddie Ward scored six goals as well and added two assists.

4. Westford stands tall -- Bishop Guertin (N.H.) nearly ended Westford's undefeated run. The Grey Ghosts were down as much as 5-1 in the first half, but the second half was all Westford. Junior defenders Rebecca and Cathrun Sennott helped keep the Cardinals scoreless for 23 minutes as the Ghosts came back to win the game 14-11.

5. The girl on fire -- Kristy Robertson scored 12 goals, a career high, and dished out four assists in Haverhill's 21-12 thrashing of Dracut on Friday. She now has 141 career goals.
