Senior Adele Tilden went 6-for-7 from the line in the fourth quarter and scored a career-high 21 points as the Raptors outlasted Oxbow, 40-31, at Mona Garone Gym. The Raptors (5-1) pulled off their most impressive win of the season, topping an Olympian team that was a D-III semifinalist last winter and has been among the top teams in that division this season. ....

Dodds and his Marauders (3-10-0) saw their season come to a close on Wednesday night in a 5-1 first-round tournament loss to the Tide (13-2-0) at Everett Arena. Senior Tom Lyons scored Hanover’s only goal, and goalie Luke Ives kept busy with 35 saves. The Marauders had the misfortune of running into Concord at both ends of its schedule. The Tide, which ended last year’s pandemic-stopped tourney as co-champions with Bedford, recorded 4-0 and 8-2 wins over Hanover to open the year and closed it in similar fashion. ....
