one to take a 2-0 lead. The second Falcons goal came on a rebound after two consecutive close-in shots hit the crossbar. The young, freshmen-laden Tanners demonstrated their resiliency by scoring in the final minute of the half. Emily Nelson tallied to bring Peabody within a goal at 2-1. A 12-4 shots-on-goal advantage for Danvers in the opening period was evidence of the home team’s territorial edge. Desroches said his Peabody squad was too hesitant at times on offense and needed to shoot more. Danvers produced the only score of the second half with about 10 minutes left in the game. Tan-
ner goalie Shelby Doucette faced 21 shots and saved 18 of them. In last week’s close 3-2 nonleague defeat at Acton-Boxboro, the same team that eliminated them from last year’s playoffs, the Tanners fell behind just 38 seconds into the contest. Peabody dented the net twice in the second half but couldn’t overcome A-B, which also knocked in two second-half goals. Desroches said it was a valuable experience for his young team. He credited Catherine Manning, Aja Alimonti, Jordyn Collins and Colleen Crotty with great defense. Nelson and Jillian Arigo had the goals and Nelson and Aja Alimonti dished out assists.
