The defending state champions very much looked the part Friday night.

Top-seeded Medfield put it all together against No. 9 Northampton in the MIAA Division 2 quarterfinal round. The defending champion Warriors drained eight 3-pointers in a dominant first half, and continued their offensive onslaught in the second half en route to an 82-43 victory in Medfield.

It was the first time Northampton had allowed 80 points or more in a game since the 2016-17 season. The Blue Devils entered Friday’s quarterfinal contest allowing just 40.1 points per game this season.

The Blue Devils finished with an 18-5 record, reaching the state quarterfinal round for the second consecutive season after marching to the Final Four in 2023-24.

Medfield (21-2) will play the winner of Saturday’s quarterfinal game between Notre Dame Academy and North Quincy in the Div. 2 semifinal round at a date and location to be determined.

Medfield used a 17-5 run to open the game, and held a 21-11 advantage after one quarter. Northampton settled in however, and a Makayla Fydenkevez layup with 6 minutes, 52 seconds left in the second quarter had the visitors back within 21-15.

Emme Calkins later drilled a 3-pointer to keep Northampton within 26-18, but the Warriors heated up from downtown and snatched control. Medfield closed the first half on a 16-4 run over the final 4:11, draining those eight 3s along the way to take a commanding 44-24 lead into intermission.

Northampton was never able to get any closer, as Medfield outscored them 18-10 in the third quarter and 20-11 in the fourth en route to the 82-43 final.

Calkins’ 14 points paced the Devils, as she hit three 3-pointers on the night. Anna Oravec scored nine points and Bri Heafey tossed in eight.

Abby Broderick’s 20 points led all scorers for Medfield. Tess Baacke (19 points) and Izzy Kittredge (18) also had big offensive nights in the win.

The Warriors are now two wins away from a potential fourth state title in program history. In addition to last year, Medfield won the state titles in 2013 and 2017. Last year, the Warriors beat Worcester South in the final, which had just knocked off Northampton in the state semifinal round.
