NASHUA – On a day when temperatures were in the low 90s at game time, and the turf heat at sun-baked Stellos Stadium in Nashua was into the 100s, the No. 4 Nashua South Purple Panthers fired up their offense in the second half and forged their way to the Division 1 girls lacrosse semifinals for the first time in well over a decade, beating the No. 5 Pinkerton Academy Astros 9-8.
