A much-anticipated quarterfinal matchup certainly did not disappoint, as Laconia and Merrimack Valley traded punches all afternoon. 

 The difference in this one was a 15-2 third quarter from the Sachems to build a sizeable lead and hold on for the win in the end. 

 Macy Gordon and Mackenzie McDonald led the Pride as they have all year, with 13 and 11 points each. 

 Mekhia Burton scored a game-high 17 points and freshman Macy Swormstedt chipped in with 11 of her own.
