Sports Roundup: HHS girls basketball falls short vs. L-S

by | Feb 28, 2025 | Featured: Sports, Sports

The Hopkinton High School girls basketball team saw its season come to an end Friday night with a 45-39 loss to host Lincoln-Sudbury in the first round of the Division 1 state tournament.

Teagan Resteghini scored 10 points and Sofiah Wightman Kraus netted nine for the 17th-seeded Hillers, who finish with a record of 12-9. Lincoln-Sudbury (17-4), the 16th seed, advances to the Round of 16 and a date with either Arlington or Wachusett.

The Hillers trailed 13-7 after one quarter and 21-16 at the half. L-S scored the first eight points of the third quarter to build its lead to 13 points, but the Hillers ended the period on a 5-0 run (two Wightman Kraus free throws and a 3-pointer from Resteghini) to make it 34-26 heading into the final eight minutes.

A 3-pointer from Elena Valis to open the fourth quarter drew the Hillers within five. The Hillers held L-S scoreless for the first 3 1/2 minutes of the period, but they could not capitalize with another basket. An L-S trey ended the drought and restored the lead to 10. However. Hopkinton’s Meghan Grady answered with a 3-pointer of her own to get it back to seven.

L-S scored the next four and had a 43-32 lead when Hopkinton made a desperate push in the final 30 seconds. It started with two free throws from Resteghini with 29 seconds left. Wightman Kraus then stole the inbounds pass and was fouled two seconds later. She made a pair to cut the margin to seven. Again the Hillers forced a turnover, and when Grady drilled a 3-pointer from the right corner with 11 seconds left, it was a four-point game.

However, the hosts capped the scoring with a pair of free throws with six seconds left.
