The Tewksbury High girls lacrosse team played, what amounted to, a home-and-home series with Methuen High this week.

The Redmen came away with one of their strongest games of the season, followed by one of their more disappointing.

On Monday, Tewksbury put together a complete effort and rolled to a 14-5 road win over the Rangers. Scoring machine Melissa Peters added four more goals to her tally, giving her more than 100 for her career.

Taylor Lirakis and Ashley Kelley backed up Peters efforts with two goals each. Riley Ryan picked up the victory in net with eight saves.

The teams met again on Tuesday in Tewksbury but the result was far different. The Rangers took a 6-3 lead at halftime and exploded for 14 goals in the second half en route to a 20-12 win.

Tewksbury is now 3-10 on the season.
