Seven Cape & Islands boys and girls teams were in action as the regular season winds down

It was a career day for Nantucket’s Mayson Lower, who notched five goals to join the 100-goal club for her career.

Lower added a trio of assists to help propel the Whalers (13-4) to a sixth-straight victory as they beat the Vineyarders (9-9) 14-3 on Saturday.

Maddie Lombardi added a hat trick and Louisa Beni had a goal and two assists, while Suz Peraner (one assist), Grace Hanlon and Dylan Damian all scored once.

The Vineyarders are currently ranked 33rd in the MIAA Division 3 Power Rankings, but they would still qualify for the state tournament as they have a .500 record.

In other high school sports action:

Boys Lacrosse

Nantucket 12, Martha’s Vineyard 5: The Whalers (11-4) won their third straight game. The Vineyarders (5-13), who are 30th in the Division 3 Power Rankings, have lost nine straight games to end the season, and will hope they’ve done enough to get into the state tournament.

Baseball

Martha’s Vineyard 10, Nantucket 0 (5 inn.): Wyatt Loughman threw a no hitter, striking out six batters. Rob Pacheco was 3-for-3 with three RBIs and a run scored. Ted Pacheco was 2-for-2 with a RBI and two runs scored. Lathrop Keene was 2-for-3 with a triple, a RBI and a run scored. The Vineyarders (10-9) have won two straight games.

The Whalers (8-11), who are currently ranked 45th in Division 4, likely saw their playoff hopes come to an end with one game remaining on their season.

Softball

Nantucket 12, Martha’s Vineyard 0: The Whalers (6-12) ended a three-game slide at the expense of the Vineyarders (4-14).

Carver 9, Dennis-Yarmouth 4: The Dolphins ended their season with a 7-12 record after falling in the regular season finale.

Upper Cape 14, Barnstable 7: The Rams (14-6) won in a non-league matchup in their final tune up before the state tournament. The Red Hawks (4-16) closed their season with three straight defeats.

The Rams fell behind 4-1 early but chipped away until they exploded in the fifth inning, led by Kenley Thomas who drove in two on a monster drive to left field, and Taysia Lopes who had three hits. Jaelynn Harraden was a menace on the base paths, stealing multiple bases, driving in two runs and scoring three times.

Defensively, Amya Irving made a circus catch to end the sixth and threw out the last runner of the game. Lopes struck out 11 batters in the winning cause.

The Rams will play in the semi-finals of the Vocational Tournament on Tuesday at Franklin County Vocational.
