MANCHESTER, N.H. — Londonderry coach Bob Slater's decision to make Josie Bezeredy an attack this spring certainly was a good one.

MANCHESTER, N.H. — Pinkerton’s Vicki Kuhn had been in a little bit of a scoring drought entering the playoffs.She failed to score a goal in her final three regular season games. That was the longest stretch she had gone without scoring all spring.

Vicki Kuhn tallied five goals to lead No. 2 Pinkerton to a 20-11 win over No. 7 Manchester Central in the quarterfinals of the Division 1 tourney. Kacie Connal added four goals and Jordyn Hamilton added two goals and three assists for the Astros, that face No. 3 Concord in the semifinals on Saturday at Southern New Hampshire University.

Stepping up to play a defending Division 1 finalist, Eastern Mass. Division 2 finalist North Andover neutralized Pinkerton's main scoring threat but still suffered a 7-5 setback. Kristen Wolenski, Vicki Kuhn and Rory Fawcett scored two goals apiece, compensating for a scoreless Kacie Connal as the UNH-bound senior was effectively face-guarded by Scarlet Knight freshman Pam Koufos. Emily Samuelman scored three goals for North Andover.

ANDOVER — Andover sophomore Jill Beucler never played goalie until last year.

And the only reason she tried it was because a sprained ankle and strained Achilles' tendon limited her mobility.
