St. Mary's defeated Lynnfield at the Kasabuski Arena Friday in the Division 2 finals of the Saugus Federal Credit Union Holiday Hockey Classic.

After two periods, the Pioneers held a 4-1 lead, but the Spartans answered back scoring five goals on seven shots in the third period to force the game into overtime. In the overtime, Gloucester’s Zak Borowski dug the puck out from behind the net and fed John Baldwin in the slot for the game-winner at 2:11 for a 7-6 win.

LYNN | Manning Field seemed like a forbidding place for the Bishop Fenwick football team to revive its season Saturday.

It was a dark, dreary atmosphere, with the skies threatening a downpour throughout the afternoon, and the shaky Crusaders were fighting a two-game losing streak in which they had been burned for a total of 64 points.

With her team trailing by a goal late in the second half, Swampscott girls soccer player Erin Langan made the most of the opportunity she was given.

With 10 minutes to play, Langan stepped into the box for a crucial penalty kick and buried it in the top right corner of the net, lifting the Big Blue to a 2-2 tie with host St. Mary's of Lynn.
