The Gloucester girls lacrosse team picked up its first win of the season in the most dramatic fashion possible: Six minutes into overtime, junior center midfielder Jennavie Orrell scored her seventh goal of the game to clinch an 18-17 win over Danvers and send her teammates into delirium.

At 5-2, the Pentucket Sachems are emerging as a legitimate force in the Cape Ann League. Yesterday's victory against a struggling Gloucester team proved that the Sachems are a team that aren't going to underestimate or overlook any opponent.  

Bridget Dullea had one of those days she will probably never forgot.

"I just kept scoring ... it was ridiculous," the 16-year-old junior attack from Peabody said after reaching an individual milestone with eight goals and one assist as Bishop Fenwick (4-0) held off Gloucester, 12-11, in girls' lacrosse on the Fenwick campus yesterday. Her nine-point flurry was a school mark in addition to the eight strikes.

Last year's record: 2-11-2  

Coach: Michael Mateo (third year)

Key returnees: Jennavie Orrell, Jr. center; Jenny Perkins, Sr. defender; Casey O'Malley, Sr. defender; Melanie Tobey, Sr. attack; Mallory McGillery, Sr. attack
