King Philip field hockey made a statement with a historic 2-1 victory over Franklin, defeating the Panthers for the first time since 2018 and handing Franklin its first loss of the season.
The Warriors ended an eight-year drought against their rivals with a strong performance, led by senior Ella Morgan, who scored the opening goal to give King Philip an early boost. Cade Taccini later added an insurance goal, helping the Warriors secure the hard-fought 2-1 win.
The victory marks a significant milestone for King Philip, which overcame an undefeated Franklin team to claim one of its biggest wins of the season.
With little time to celebrate, the Warriors will return to their home turf later today to face Bishop Feehan at 3:30 p.m. King Philip will look to carry the momentum from its breakthrough win into its next matchup.
After ending the Panthers’ unbeaten run and snapping an eight-year losing streak in the series, the Warriors have plenty of confidence heading into their next challenge.
