“We raised around $700 to $800 for cancer research,” Myers said. “The kids did a great job given that they only had about a week to raise the money.”
After a series of intense pressure on the Dedham defense, senior Stephanie Vitone, a captain with seniors Alison Berkowitz and Danielle Wasson, managed to solve the Weymouth goalie, scoring to cut the Marauders’ lead to one goal.
Nevertheless, the Tigers could not come up with an equalizer in the final minutes, and Dedham escaped with a 2-1 win.
“We played really well in the second half,” Myers said. “We couldn’t finish our chances, so we were only able to come away with one goal.
“Overall, the kids definitely did a great job of spreading the message,” she added.
The Tigers, sitting at 5-4-1, need to finish at .500 or better to earn a spot in the State Tournament. With only five games left in the season, the squad will begin the final stretch tomorrow at Wellesley.
