3. Maybe she was on top for most of the match....

...and there wasn't a good photo-op.

More likely that the photographers at the state match never expected her to win, so didn't take any pictures until their last chance, when the match was over.

Many congratulations, Danielle Coughlin, for breaking down another barrier.

And thanks to Larry Coughlin for helping his sister in her accomplishments.


Coughlin’s win not only made history for her, it also helped North Andover secure its fourth consecutive state title, besting Winchester by 9 points.

Winchester had entered the finals with a healthy lead, meaning North Andover needed a sweep by its five wrestlers to defend the title.

“It was not only a key win for herself, but if she lost her match, then we would have been down a considerable amount of points,” said North Andover coach Carl Cincotta.
