Milton Edges Duxbury 2-1 to Reach Division 2 Final Against King Philip

The Wildcats face King Philip at TD Garden next weekend for a chance at the program's first state title.

Overview

  • Senior captain Sabrina Stone broke the deadlock late in the second period, and freshman Maeve Lovett added the winner early in the third.
  • Duxbury’s Liv Gleason scored with about 43 seconds left, but Milton killed the final seconds with steady goaltending from Caera Hart and stout defense led by captain Mairin Hart.
  • The semifinal at Boston College’s Conte Forum marked the teams’ third meeting this season after Duxbury won the Tenney Cup in December and Milton answered with a late-season 5-1 win.
  • Milton returns to the state championship after last year’s runner-up finish to Medfield, with No. 5 King Philip advancing after eliminating the defending champion.
  • The No. 2 Wildcats improved to 24-1-1, while No. 3 Duxbury finished 17-8-1 following the 2-1 result.
