The Holliston Panthers boys’ lacrosse team extended their hot streak to four with a thrilling 10–9 win over Nipmuc on Wednesday afternoon. In a back-and-forth contest, each quarter featured lead changes and clutch saves, reflecting the Panthers’ balanced attack and resilient defense. Early face-off wins fueled Holliston’s transition game, leading to quick-strike goals and fast break chances. Nipmuc countered with precise feeding and patient possessions, but the Panthers’ ride pressure created key turnovers in critical moments. With the score knotted late in the fourth quarter, Holliston’s offense found an opening, feeding the crease and sneaking in the go-ahead goal off a contested draw. Goalie stops on high-velocity shots preserved the narrow advantage as time expired. Now 12–5 and riding this four-game roll, the Panthers head into tonight’s showdown at No. 10 Westwood. A win over the Falcons would solidify Holliston’s playoff positioning and reward their gutty second-half turnaround. Whether facing Westwood’s depth or challenging opponents beyond, the Panthers have proven they can thrive under pressure.
