After a long season the girls field hockey team end the season with 1 win and 17 losses. The team has created an unbreakable bond with one another. Although the team did not make it into nationals, this was one of their best seasons yet. The team has become like a family, they’re determination and endless days of practice they won their first game in 2 years against Lowell.
Senior and Captain of this year’s field hockey team, Erin Mulcahy had said “This season was one of my favorites. The amazing will, determination, and spirit of all players on the team made this season amazing. I couldn’t have asked for a better senior year. Although we lost, we won in so many ways. We become a family and it showed throughout communication and bonding. Our win was insane, we worked so hard and we put all that effort into that game.”
This has been a long and difficult season. For the following years of field hockey, another senior team captain Caitlyn Leonard gave some advice, “For those returning and new that are going to be playing field hockey next year I believe that they should never stop working hard. Even in the off season. Whether that’s going to camps or just getting together with other teammates to play. If you warm up before the season, that will only lead to a more successful outcome. I advise them to keep their heads up no matter what and to always support each other. I also hope they stay like a family and grow even closer to new and older players. Having great relationships with teammates will lead to a better season and will make connections that will last even after the season is over.”
Although the team had not made as many wins as losses they have gained much more than that. The last out of the three captains, Julia Cocuzzo, had said “For this season, I have to say that I’m very proud of the field hockey team and what we have achieved. Unfortunately don’t have as many wins to prove the hard work but, we all know we did achieve great success. We struggled in the beginning due to the loss of the entire varsity team last year…however, I must say this team had the best communication in all my four years.” Some advice that she had suggested for new and returning members next year was, “For next year’s members I would advise the players to make sure they continue playing during the off season. I also highly advise them to stress communicate among each other. The team achieved and improved so much this year, I would hate for them to have to start fresh next season.”
With all the support given from family, friends, and coaches, the team has improved no doubt. Spending hours practicing, and learning many new strategies their hard work has paid off. Having this year been so successful , next year’s season would be even better and the team even stronger.
