Westwood and Longmeadow set for rematch in lax

It's all set.

Eastern Massachusetts champion Westwood will face Western Mass. champion Longmeadow in a rematch of last year's Division I girl's lacrosse state final in which the Wolverines won 10-7 at Wayland High School. 

Longmeadow (21-1) is searching for its first state title since 2004 when it beat Westwood (22-1) in the final. The Wolverines captured titles over the Lancers in 2003, 2005, and 2008 and are looking to make it four out of five. 

Westwood beat Framingham, 15-6 in a rematch of last year's Eastern Mass. final to earn the returning trip while Longmeadow also trounced Central Mass. champion Westborough 15-7

Duxbury domination; boys' lax wins 6th straight state title















St. John's Prep ended Duxbury's 99-game unbeaten streak in Massachusetts earlier this season, but it was still the Green Dragons who got the last laugh. 

Duxbury (19-3) won its sixth-straight Division I boys' lacrosse state title on Wednesday at Harvard Stadium with a 13-12 defeat over the Eagles. 

Matt Heatherington scored what proved to go the game winner with five minutes left in the fourth quarter off a transition. Prep's Colin Blackwell's shot was blocked by goalie Mickey Zaverucha who cleared it and set up the Green Dragons 13th goal.

St. John's Prep ended its season with a 19-3 record as well. 

Is there no stopping Duxbury? How long can they possibly make this go? Seven-in-a-row? Eight-in-a-row? How about 10?
