The Lady Tanners, known for their offense, put up a tremendous defensive effort as well, Friday night to keep the Spartans of East Longmeadow out of their goal. With the game's only goal by Peabody's Katie Brunelle about midway through, the soon-to-be state champs didn't let up on the intensity.

Peabody (22-0-2) finished its dream season undefeated and with a state title at the end of the journey.
