During the penalty corner, the Warriors’ Madison Hendry sent the ball to Kristen Godin about 10 feet in front of
        Crusaders goalie Rashauna Banks. Godin, blocked by two defenders, worked the ball past them and fired a shot
        into the lower-right corner to lead Wilton to a 1-0 win over Lauralton Hall at Wethersfield High.

        Three-time defending champion Wilton enters today’s Class M semifinal once again loaded with talent and
        putting a dominating performance in the postseason. The Warriors have outscored opponents 8-0 in their two
        Class M games.

        Wilton is led this season by forward Megan Cunningham, midfielders Delaney Baxendale and Godin, defender
        Caroline Taverna and goalie Amanda Hendry.

        Lauralton Hall is also solid on both ends
        of the field and has outscored opponents
        8-1 in its two Class M games.
        The depth and talent is certainly evident
        on the offensive end of the field for the
        Crusaders. They use a balanced attack
        with 13 players producing goals and
        assists. Kiley Forrest, Grace Cogguguillo,
        Jackie Brewster, Alexa Dawid, Michaela
        O’Donnell and Kara Duggan are among
        the top scorers.

        Brewster, a defender and Register All-
        Area field hockey selection last season,
        leads a very strong defensive unit.
