Eshe Stockton, Portsmouth Middle School girls cross country
Stockton covered Smithfield’s Deerfield Park course with a time of 11 minutes, 55 seconds to finish in ninth place at the state middle school championship. Her effort helped the Patriots score a second-place overall team finish.
Wednesday's stars
Maeve Crowley and Katie Guinan, Rogers girls soccer
Crowley headed home the game winner off a corner kick from Fallon Bagley 14 minutes into the second half, and keeper Guinan made five saves, including one on a penalty kick and another a rocket of a shot with less than 10 minutes.
That kept the Vikings on top as Rogers edged Providence Country Day 2-1 to run their Division IV winning streak to 13 matches on Wednesday at Toppa Field.
Grace Rochelle and Fayth Loper, Rogers girls tennis
The top two players in the lineup handled their business and sent the Vikings to the next round of the playoffs with a 4-2 decision over North Smithfield on Wednesday afternoon in Newport.
Rochelle, playing at No. 1 singles, lost just two games in dispatching Abigail Tremblay 6-2, 6-0, while Loper downed Gracee Sande 6-2, 6-3. Up next for the Vikings is a matchup against unbeaten Lincoln School.
Tuesday's stars
Allie Kaull, Portsmouth girls soccer
Kaitlin Roche scored the goal and Mollyana McGuire had the assist, but it was Allie Kaull who played the key role as unbeaten host Portsmouth tied undefeated Moses Brown 1-1 on Tuesday.
“Allie and the rest of the defense really had a standout game,” Portsmouth coach Lauren Bulk said. “Her speed and patience really helped when containing fast players.”
Gianna Piker, Middletown girls volleyball
Lincoln held off Middletown’s rally that included 16 kills from Piker as the Lions scored a 25-20, 25-20, 21-25, 11-25, 15-11 win over the Islanders on Tuesday to hand Middletown its first home setback of the season.
Kyle Bielawa, Portsmouth boys soccer
The Portsmouth keeper made five saves as the Patriots battled Classical to a scoreless draw on a rainy Tuesday night in Providence. Portsmouth closed Division I regular-season play with a 7-2-5 record and will be the No. 3, No. 4 or No. 5 seed for postseason play.
Hayleigh Korzeniowski, Tiverton girls volleyball
Korzeniowski nailed seven kills and had two aces, a block and 12 digs as the Tigers fell to Juanita Sanchez 12-25, 25-23, 23-25, 21-25 in a Division III match in Providence on Tuesday.
Monday's stars
Emily Maiato, Portsmouth girls soccer
The Portsmouth keeper was the busiest she’s been all season as she made 24 saves and helped the Patriots notch a 6-2 win over host Ponaganset on Monday. Portsmouth remained unbeaten in Division II with a 10-0-1 record and hosts 11-0 Moses Brown on Tuesday.
“Emily had more shots on her during tonight's game than she probably has all season,” Portsmouth coach Lauren Bulk said. “She did an amazing job with the saves and getting the ball distributed back into play. There would have been many more goals allowed if it weren't for her.”
