The Cougars (19-3-1) dedicated their 3-2 shootout win over Woburn Tuesday night in the Division 1 state quarterfinal to Allyson Cunningham, who hit the boards hard late in overtime and had to be taken out on a stretcher with an undisclosed injury.

With 50 seconds left in overtime, Cunningham went into the boards during a Woburn power play. She was hospitalized for precautionary reasons.

“In a weird way, we were able to rest our kids and interrupt a power play so they may have lost momentum,’’ said Arlington Catholic coach Maggie Taverna.

During the timeout, the Cougars dedicated the game to Cunningham, with the players writing her number 12 on their hands as a reminder.

After missing their first two attempts in the shootout, Cougars senior forward Allie Stone snapped in a shot, and Woburn was unable to get one past sophomore goaltender Megan Messuri.

“[Allie] really came through. It was her last year, that’s the ultimate ultimatum . . . you score, we continue, if not, your career is over,’’ said Taverna.

Freshman forward Adrieana Rossini’s forced overtime after senior forward Natalie Flynn scored for Arlington Catholic with a backhander in the first period. Freshman Hannah Sullivan and junior Kayla Smith scored for Woburn (16-4-2).
