RyanWood -

Just had a pre-game chat with Norwell Head Coach Emily Stearns. She said her team is ready to take on North Andover, the fifth seed out of North Division 2. The teams have one thing in common - they both lost to Lincoln-Sudbury. "I think they're really fired up," Stearns said, pointing out that her girls have a little more incentive today. "They have done a little research, and they heard that the other team (North Andover) wanted it more, which just fires them up even more."
