WESTFIELD – It was the look.
After Westfield senior girls lacrosse player Hannah Jarvis made eye contact with her teammate, Lexi Wood, just before the midway point in the second half of the Bombers’ 20-10 loss to Agawam on Monday, the rest was history.
“Lexi gave me a look,” said Jarvis, whose teammate delivered a pass to Wood who was set up about three feet from the post. “Then I ripped it as hard I could.”
Jarvis’s shot found the back of the net, signaling her record-breaking 233rd goal, becoming the school’s all-time leading scorer in girls lacrosse. The old mark was held by Nicole Beliveau (2012).

After the goal, Jarvis ran up to Wood and the two friends embraced each other in jubilation.
“It was special because Lexi is my best friend and co-captain,” Jarvis said. “It’s all my team. I couldn’t have done it without them. …Without my team, I wouldn’t be half the player I was.”
Jarvis finished the game with three goals and one assist.
“Records are made to be broken,” Westfield coach Paul Fenwick said. “I like to see the progress of our players and the program move forward. I was happy the last time one of our players did it and lucky to have coached (Hannah).”
Agawam proved too tough though overall. The Brownies put together a sizeable lead with a combo-sized effort from Izzy Liquori (8 goals) and Emily Oliver (7).
Despite falling behind, Westfield rallied to within 12-9 early in the second half. The Bombers had cut into their deficit, but also ran out of steam.
Lara Finnie (1 assist) and Jordan Kowalski scored two goals apiece for Westfield.
