This week's Bulldog Highlights- 9/23-9/28/13

Volleyball remains Perfect- It was a perfect 3-0 week for the Volleyball team as they defeated OA, Sharon and Foxboro to sure up Hock Davenport dominance. The team lost only 2 games in the 3 matches and continued to improve. Avery Devoe continued her dominating play with great performances also being put in by Elizabeth Hamilton, Erin Proctor, Ellie Teague and Meghan Hartnett.

Field Hockey rebounds from sole loss of season with two wins- After falling in a heartbreaker to first place OA last Friday, the Field Hockey team came back strong with two big Davenport wins this week. Julianna Howlett, Kellie Stigas, Alex Dillon, Mary Nee, Jackie Merrigan, Kelsey Trerice (first career goal), and Emily Buckley (first career goal) each scored goals in a 7-0 win over Sharon on Wednesday.   The team then edged out Foxboro on Thursday, 1-0 on an early goal by Stigas. 

Golfers on a roll- qualify for States-  The Golf team made it 5 straight wins with three big results this week. The team has been on fire, shooting many consecutive sub-155 rounds- a very impressive feat in high school golf. This week's wins were even more impressive considering that 2 of the 3 were on away courses. The team traveled to Hopedale CC to face Milford on Monday and earned a 154-162 win. Tuesday saw the squad travel to Easton CC to face Stoughton- another 154 day led to a convincing win over the Black Knights. Back at home at Blue Hills CC on Thursday, the team shot even better, downing the visiting NA Red Rocketeers, 151-176. Sam Riemer, Sam Hrubec, Mike Breviglia, Brian Halloran (even par 35 on Monday), and Luke Thompson all registered scores in the 30s during this week's matches.

Girls XC earns 2nd win of young season- Senior Amanda Eagles won Tuesday's XC race with Foxboro with a time of 22:06, leading the team to its second victory of season, 23-32, against just one loss. Courtney Loughnane finished 3rd overall in 22:41. Rounding out the top 5 for the Bulldogs were Julia Guerini, Michaela Kelly and Kerin Senett.  The Boys sqaud lost a close race, 25-30. Courtland Priest and Joe Clancy paced the Boys team in the effort.

Girls Soccer earns win and tie while boys struggle finding goals- The Girls Soccer team blanked Sharon on Monday, 2-0 and managed a 2-2 draw Friday night at home vs. Foxboro. The Boys team lost a heartbreaker 1-0 on Tuesday at Sharon on a goal in the final minutes of the game. Friday saw the squad play very well at Foxboro but were unable to find the back of the net, settling for a 0-0 draw. Senior  goalkeeper Art McNally earned his 2nd shutout of the season in the tie.

Football flurry at end of half, not enough to overtake Eagles- The Football team made quite a game of it on Saturday at defending Super Bowl Champion Sharon scoring 13 points in the closing minutes of the first half taking the momentum into the locker room down just 14-13, but the Eagles took over in the 2nd half, defeating the Bulldogs, 32-13.  Brian Hagan scampered into the endzone late in the half for the first Bulldog touchdown and Anthony Ross had an interception on the last play of the half, running it back for a 85 yard touchdown.
