Abby Kaija and Grace Vosburgh scored successive goals near the four-minute mark of the fourth quarter to help Woodstock prevail.
“It was a game situation that you really can’t make up in practice,” Wasps coach Amanda Soule said. “It was a pressure situation where we were able to score enough at the end to hang on.
“It wasn’t easy on the stomach by any means, but it’s a good experience with the playoffs coming up.”
Vosburgh finished with four goals, while Miranda Johnson and Abby Kaija scored once each.

Londonderry, n.h.
Needing a win over the Lancers to secure a 23rd consecutive playoff berth — every year since the sport became sanctioned by the NHIAA in 1994 — Hanover instead suffered its second-most lopsided defeat of the year while being shut out for only the second time.
“Everything that could go wrong for us, went wrong for us today,” Marauders coach Ryan Gardner said.
Playing despite a hip injury, senior defender Kaleb Hunt left after the first quarter.
Zander Lingelbach-Pierce (first three quarters) and John Warhold combined for six saves for Hanover.
The Marauders finish 7-11 and had been battling for the 10th and final playoff spot with three other teams. Hanover would hold a head-to-head tiebreaker over Concord (7-8), but the Crimson will likely finish with a higher points index rating even if it loses at Nashua South today, Gardner said. “I’m 99 percent sure we’re out,” he said.
George Geraghty, one of eight Marauder seniors who played their final game, finished fourth in program history with 87 career assists.
