Defending champ Wellesley not only was going for back-to-back state titles when it faced off in the MIAA D2 Girls championship game against Notre Dame of Hingham, but the Raiders also wanted to settle a score.

It was mission accomplished for Wellesley (17-4-3), which took a 3-2 overtime win for its second straight title, ending the season as the #1 team in the final HNIB News Massachusetts Girls D2 Top 10.
