The Raiders had a game on their hands for the first 30 minutes of the North Section field hockey quarterfinal Friday afternoon against Weston, leading just 1-0. However, the first minute of the second half set the tone for the rest of the game.
Watertown senior Aurora Fidler scored just 56 seconds in to the second half on a pass from Lauren Petrillo, which doubled the Raiders’ lead. Senior Kourtney Kennedy scored the team’s lone first half goal with an assist from sophomore Gabby Venezia.
