Four goals by sophomore Molly Driscoll led Watertown in its 6-0 defeat of Dover-Sherborn in Saturday’s MIAA Div. 3 Round of Eight Field Hockey Tournament game.
The Raiders added another trophy to its vast collection of awards with Saturday morning’s win at Victory Field. With the MIAA doing away with the sections, the Raiders got a trophy for making the Final Four.
A win in the State Tournament is always good, said Watertown Head Coach Eileen Donahue.
“Anything can happen in the tournament, and obviously Dover-Sherborn had an amazing, successful season,” Donahue said. “It proved it to get to this game. Every team is a good team if it made the tournament.”

Donahue said Driscoll took advantage of her scoring opportunities.
“I’m thankful she scored, and the others,” Donahue said. “Whoever has the opportunity, and today it was her. She got fed the ball beautifully, and she made some nice moves in there too.”
Driscoll opened the scoring just 2:16 into the game on Watertown’s first shot. She added her second with 4:04 left in the first quarter after tracking down a pass from senior Ellie Monahan before it went across the end line and scoring from a few feet away.

“What about our defense, our defense as a team?” Donahue said. “I am just so proud of them, the team defense — to not allow a shot on net, it is just crazy. It’s just as important as goal scoring.”
