Medfield Girls' Hoops Upset by Hopkinton in MIAA D2 South Quarterfinals

Medfield's season ends in 59-56 overtime defeat to Hopkinton Saturday in MIAA Division 2 South Sectional State Tournament.

After 32 minutes of girls' basketball, the (7) Hopkinton Hillers and (2) Medfield Warriors were forced to play an extra four minutes of overtime to decide who would advance to the semi-final round of the MIAA Division 2 South Sectional girls’ basketball tournament. Yet if not for a missed free throw or any sort of offensive production to avoid a one-point quarter by Medfield, it would have been a Medfield victory in regulation. “It (first quarter) was the key to the game because we got in early foul trouble so we couldn’t pressure like we wanted to,” Hopkinton head coach Rita Atkinson said. The Hillers held off multiple comebacks by the Warriors to win 59-56 in an overtime thriller. Only a free throw from Jen Narlee prevented a scoreless …
