WALPOLE — The Cohasset girls lacrosse team has fast players, and the Skippers score even quicker.

But now, they can rest easy knowing they’ve secured the Division 4 state title.

With an offense that was balanced, efficient and prolific, Cohasset rolled to a 14-9 win over Ipswich on Thursday at Walpole High School. It marked the program’s first state title since 2019.

“That’s how we practice,” Cohasset coach Joe Fitzgerald said. “If you come to our practices, we’re sprinting, and we’re doing fast breaks and 3-on-2s. We don’t rest. So, we have short, really intense practices. It carries over into the games.”

One of just two seniors for Cohasset (19-3), Laney Larsen, agreed.

“I mean, I think you practice how you play,” said Larsen, who scored three goals. “It’s that kind of practice every day. We play hard, aggressive. We try our best. I think that will go into the game.”

Sophomore Avery Regan led the Skippers with five goals. Along with Larsen’s three, Libby Schiffmann also had three, Kate Greer had two, and Molly Campbell had one.

For Ipswich (19-2), Lucy Winthrop and Ella Stein each had three goals, Halle Greenleaf had two, and Allie Wile had one.

Ipswich scored the game’s first goal, but after that, it was all Cohasset. Regan helped answer with two goals as Cohasset took a 4-1 lead.

Cohasset took a 9-3 lead into halftime, as the Skippers were superior on the ground, and just — again — faster at most spots on the field. Cohasset scored the final two goals of the second quarter on strikes from Regan and Larsen.

Ipswich made a run to start the third quarter, as a free position from Greenleaf brought the Tigers to within 9-5. But Cohasset was relentless, and scored three times in a row, the third from Regan from a free position.

It was that kind of day for Cohasset, which always had an answer for whatever Ipswich threw at it. Cohasset, for all its scoring power, is unselfish and harder to defend that way.

“I think the best thing to be is unselfish,” Regan said. “You can always miss a goal, but you have to look at other people, and you can’t just think about your points or your records. It’s not just about your records. You just want to make your team look good, too. It’s just whatever is open is open. We work better when we share the ball, and nobody’s a ball hog, I would say. I think we’re all pretty open with each other, and we know the right time to pass it.”
