Leah Melle broke a second-half tie, and Danielle Hagmaier scored after returning from injury. The Warriors’ next opponent and game details were still unsettled. 
• Eagle Archives, Nov. 9, 1977: Rosary beads in tree said put there in '72 (berkshireeagle.com subscription) — A Windsor apple tree that yielded rosary beads drew more than 2,000 requests for pieces of its wood, according to this 1977 archive story. A former partner in a land venture spanning Windsor and Dalton said her husband placed the beads there in 1972, but the finder disputed her explanation.
