Watertown Seniors Close Field Hockey Careers on Top; Raiders Add Ninth Straight Title, 18th Total

By |

After winning the MIAA Div. 2 Field Hockey State Championship on Saturday 5-1 over Oakmont, Watertown High School’s four seniors reflected on the year, and their careers for the Raiders. The seniors were part of some major accomplishments, Watertown field hockey coach Eileen Donahue said earlier in the week during a ceremony when seniors Jonna Kennedy and Maddie Leitner signed their letters of intent to play in college. Donahue noted that they were part of the team to set the nation’s longest unbeaten streak in high school field hockey two years ago, and this year they were there when the team finally lost after more than eight years. Ask the coach or her players, however, and the streak was not a big focus or even a topic of discussion.

BRAINTREE – Dennis-Yarmouth gave the Watertown High School field hockey team a run for their money, but the Raiders made an early goal stick as they won 1-0 the State Semifinal and are on their way to their ninth straight MIAA Div. 2 State Final. From the first whistle, the Dolphins showed they could threaten the Watertown net, and had two early corners, but the Raiders took the ball down the the field and senior Sydney Poulin got the space she needed to put the ball in the back of the D-Y net 5 minutes into the game. “(Poulin) just kept staying with the play and found her opening. It’s nice to get that early and to hang on,” said Watertown field hockey coach Eileen Donahue.
