The Panthers allowed a goal less than a minute into the game versus Lincoln-Sudbury, but bounced back nicely for the win.
Lincoln-Sudbury scored early. But top-ranked Beverly took care of the often on Monday night during the North Division 2 semifinal round.
The Warriors scored just 59 seconds into the game when Myles Cohen lit the lamp and gave No. 4 Lincoln-Sudbury the early edge.
