The Gloucester girls hockey team put up a good fight on senior night at Talbot Rink last night, but the Fishermen came up a bit short.

Peabody was able to get a game-winner in the third period to knock off Gloucester 3-2 in a tight contest. Mia Cohen and Margaret Muniz tallied the goals for the Fishermen, while Andrea Rovedo was fantastic in the Gloucester net, stopping 42 shots.

Captain Colby Amor and the rest of the Peabody girls hockey team didn't just want Saturday night's game against Gloucester for themselves. More importantly, they wanted it for fallen teammate Courtney Corning, who was honored in a pregame ceremony commemorating the one year anniversary of her death. With Corning's No. 4 jersey hanging behind the Tanner bench, Amor notched five goals | including the game winner on a breakaway with just 15 seconds left in regulation | to will Peabody to an emotional 6-4 triumph.

The youth movement has definitely taken over on the Beverly girls hockey team with 10 freshmen and two eighth-graders taking regular shifts. But while the Panther are very young with only two seniors, they are also very skilled.

Last year's record: 13-6

Coach: Tom Beaulieu (first season)

Key returnees: Sam Auiliso, Sr. center; Ally Kippen, Sr., wing; Caitlin Cole, Sr., defenseman.

Key departures: Brianna Gerrior, Carly Muniz, Iris Quesada.
