They’ve been there. They’ve done that. And they didn’t mind doing it again.

Bow High School’s girls lacrosse team has been to every title game since Division II play began in 2002, and on Thursday, June 11, the Lady Falcons won a fourth state championship with a 13- 7 victory over Bishop Guertin at Southern New Hampshire University.

Alison Meagher and Samantha Gallerani notched four goals and two assists apiece to lead Bow.

Early on it appeared the nearly 500 spectators on hand were in for a see-saw battle; Bow clung to a 3-2 lead after only 4 minutes, 59 seconds of play.

The Cardinals knotted the score at 3-3 with 15:07 remaining in the half, but the Falcons outscored Guertin, 4- 1, in the final 15 minutes of play to take a 7-4 lead into halftime.

The lead expanded to as many as eight, and Bow cruised to the win.

Sophomore Lindsay Bucknam scored twice and assisted on a pair of goals; senior Caitlin Pratt added two goals, and sophomore Rachel Roberts and junior Lauren Wheeler both collected an assist.

“They’re tough every single year,” said Bishop Guertin head coach Ron Cote. “They just know how to win.”

Bow was 12-1 during the regular season to earn the No. 3 seed in the bracket, but none of the teams in the postseason gave the Falcons much of a challenge.

In fact, the six-goal decision over the Cardinals was the closest game Bow played this postseason.

Goaltender Leanna Shea returned from a toe injury only a few weeks ago, bouncing back extremely well in the title tilt to stop 14 shots and earn the win.

Bow’s head coach, Chris Raabe, said returning to the final contest of Division II play is always the preseason goal.

“At some point, the streak will end,” said Raabe. “That’s how we start each year, using that as motivation. They don’t want to be the team who doesn’t make it here. It’s become tradition for us, and having them know that every year makes my job a little easier.”
