HINGHAM — In fitting fashion, the Mansfield boys’ lacrosse team has one-upped its success from a season ago. The fifth-seeded Hornets are semifinal-bound for the first time in program history following a 12-11 Division 2 upset of No. 4 Hingham on Friday night, vanquishing the Harbormen after falling to them in last year’s quarterfinals. “It’s a great group that looks at each game individually,” Mansfield coach Tim Frias said.

Matched up against the very same Hawks, the eighth-seeded Shamrocks unleashed a nearly perfect zone defense in front of junior netminder Keegan Masso, who took care of the rest with 12 saves in a 9-1 win over No. 8 Xaverian to advance to the Division 1 quarterfinals. “We watched a lot of film and got the scout right,” Masso said.
