Turners Falls 2, Southwick 0 — It was an emotional day in Turners Falls and around much of Franklin County on Thursday with the news of beloved educator Earl McGraw’s passing, but the Turners Falls High School field hockey team found a way to play through the pain and Cassidhe Wozniak’s two goals helped the Indians to a 2-0 West Division win over Southwick-Tolland Regional High School in Southwick.
McGraw, who has worked at a number of area schools and was most recently the assistant principal at Turners Falls, passed away after a battle with cancer and many area schools spent the day grieving the man who touched so many lives. Turners Falls coach Megan Gilbert said it was not easy for her team, but the girls worked together to get the victory.
“Today was an emotional day and we worked really hard as a team today,” she explained.
Wozniak put the Indians (3-2-1 overall) ahead with 4 minutes, 52 seconds left in the first half when she finished off a pass from Julie Sprankle. The Turners Falls sophomore got her second of the game 3:33 into the second half when she scored on a rebound off the pads of Southwick goalie Sarah Power (13 saves) for a 2-0 lead.
The Indians also got a big effort out of goalie Maddie Currier, who made 14 saves to pick up the shutout.
