Shipley's offensive balance overcame a terrific day by Madison Fertell in a 4-2 win over visiting Westtown for the Friends Schools League field hockey championship yesterday.

Fertell scored both of Westtown's goals in the second half. By the time she scored her second, though, the unbeaten Gators (15-0) had a 4-1 lead.

Shipley got a first-half goal from junior forward Ellie Andersen and its fourth goal from a sophomore, Ilana Wolfson. Anderson also added an assist, her seventh of the season.

In between, Allison Dombroski and Kathleen Kneizys scored. It was Dombroski's sixth goal of the year.

Shipley won its fourth title in the last five years and goalie Lily Turchi was there for three of them. She turned away nine of the 11 shots she faced.

Tri-County. Michelle Cocchimiglio scored four goals, including the game-tying one with four minutes left in regulation and the game-winner in overtime, to lead host West-Mont Christian past Kimberton Waldorf, 5-4, in the league title game.

The teams came into the game having split their regular-season encounters.

Kimberton Waldorf won the first game, 6-2, and dropped the second, 5-2.

Kimberton Waldorf led, 4-2, before Cocchimiglio scored both second-half goals to tie it, and her game-winner came on a rebound of her own shot in the second overtime.

Tessa Mulders also scored for the Cougars (9-1-1), who won the first league title for sixth-year coach Melissa Snyder.
