SUFFIELD, April 22 – Grace Giancola scored seven goals for the third time this year as the undefeated Canton High girls lacrosse team tied a school record for most goals in a game in an 18-2 win over Suffield Friday night in NCCC action.

Giancola, who has a team-leading 39 goals, also scored seven goals in victories over Hall and Suffield. That’s one goal shy of the school record for most goals in a game that Giancola set a year ago with eight goals against Ellington.

Canton (7-0, 5-0 NCCC) continues to march through the month of April. The most goals they’ve allowed so far is five in a 13-5 victory over Ellington earlier this week. Senior goalie Amanda Gottlieb made three saves in net to earn the win.

Emma Charron and Devon Daubert each had three goals against the Wildcats (1-7) while Kaelyn Oliver and Carly Atkinson had two each. Sarah First also added her first goal of the season. It was the first goals of the season for Atkinson.

Oliver and Charron had four assists each while Giancola had three assists.

Canton scored 18 goals in an 18-9 win over Suffield last April and had 18 goals in a 21-18 loss to Somers in April 2013. The 7-0 start is the best start in school history.

The Warriors return to the field on Tuesday when they host Granby (3-4) in a NCCC match at 4 p.m. on the turf field. Next Saturday (April 30), Canton will host Fairfield Warde (5-2) at noon on the turf field.
