Print Story | Email Story
WESTFIELD, Mass. -- Adams' Kaitlyn Brown had a hat trick, but the MCLA women's lacrosse team dropped its first ever league game, 11-6, to Mass Maritime on Sunday afternoon.
 
The Trailblazers (2-3, 0-1 MASCAC) trailed, 9-2, early in the second half before scoring four straight to get back in the game.
 
But Mass Maritime's Janine Prokscha scored to snap the run and complete her hat trick with 6 minutes, 21 seconds left, and the Bucaneers (3-2, 1-0) tacked on a goal with about four minutes left to put the game out of reach.
 
Alexandra David made five saves for MCLA in a game moved to Westfield State because of unplayable conditions on the Blazers' home field in North Adams.
 
MCLA is scheduled to host Southern Vermont on Wednesday.

Clarksburg Sees Race for Select Board Seat

CLARKSBURG, Mass. — The town will see a three-way race for a seat on the Select Board in May. 
 
Colton Andrews, Seth Alexander and Bryana Malloy returned papers by Wednesday's deadline to run for the three-year term vacated by Jeffrey Levanos. 
 
Andrews ran unsuccessfully for School Committee and is former chairman of the North Adams Housing Authority, on which he was a union representative. He is also president of the Pioneer Valley Building Trades Council.
 
Malloy and Alexander are both newcomers to campaigning. Malloy is manager of industrial relations for the Berkshire Workforce Board and Alexander is a resident of Gates Avenue. 
 
Alexander also returned papers for several other offices, including School Committee, moderator, library trustee and the five-year seat on the Planning Board. He took out papers for War Memorial trustee and tree warden but did not return them and withdrew a run for Board of Health. 
 
He will face off in the three-year School Committee seat against incumbent Cynthia Brule, who is running for her third term, and fellow newcomer Bonnie Cunningham for library trustee. 
 
Incumbent Ronald Boucher took out papers for a one-year term as moderator but did not return them. He was appointed by affirmation in 2021 when no won ran and accepted the post again last year as a write-in.
