Gagne was reportedly the standout player, scoring two goals and providing two assists. Her contribution gave Southwick the attacking spark needed to break open a contest that had remained close before half-time.
Ellie Haftmann, Michaela Masciadrelli and Regan LeClaire were also credited with goals for Southwick. The spread of scorers underlined how effectively the team converted its second-half momentum into a commanding result.
Palmer reportedly stayed within reach during the opening period, but Southwick’s increased tempo changed the match after the interval. Aria Nompleggi scored Palmer’s goal, although the team could not sustain enough pressure to mount a comeback.
The goalkeepers were also heavily involved. The report says Palmer’s Cora LaChance made 16 saves despite conceding five, while Southwick’s Hazel Olsen produced 12 saves to help protect the lead. Those figures point to a match in which both sides created pressure, but Southwick proved far more clinical in the decisive spell.
For Southwick, the result will be remembered for the sharpness of its second-half attack and Gagne’s direct influence. Palmer, meanwhile, will need to recover quickly after conceding three times in the closing half.
The report says Southwick is scheduled to face Hampshire Regional School on Thursday, 1 October, while Palmer is due to meet Chicopee High School on Friday, 2 October. Southwick will aim to carry its attacking momentum forward, while Palmer’s response will reveal whether this was a one-off collapse or a warning sign.
