The girls soccer team played a tough one against Auburn yesterday that ended up in a 2-2 tie. Our Hawks took a 2-0 lead halfway through the 2nd half but Auburn scored 2 late goals to tie it up before the end of regulation. They take on Sanborn this Wednesday on the road again as they look to bounce back and get another win. Good luck and go Hawks!
Hawks field hockey took on Cawley yesterday. Unfortunately, the Hawks were defeated 4-1, but the Hawks worked together as a team to get their first goal of the season, scored by Ella W! Emily S has had some key saves in goal so far this season, yesterday included. Way to go! Great team effort put forth by all players in the fourth quarter where they really worked hard to put their coaches feedback into motion. The Hawks are on the road again today taking on Hollis in their third game of the season!
In an exhilarating match against Auburn, the boys' soccer team emerged victorious with a nail-biting score of 5-4. Quinn B and Brody F each netted two goals, while Beckett Y contributed one to seal the win for the team. Defensively, Emilio D and Matteo M showcased outstanding skills, shutting down the Auburn offense. Goalkeeper Jacob G made a series of impressive saves, keeping his team in the game. Meanwhile, Finn J and Bryce M demonstrated exceptional teamwork with their seamless movement of the ball. It was a thrilling game filled with determination and skill, and the boys' relentless effort paid off in this hard-fought victory!
