Dennis-Yarmouth (1-0-0) just kicked off their state title defense in absolute style, locking down a massive 6-1 victory over Scituate in a non-league matchup. Talk about making a statement right out of the gate, wow!
D-Y Field Hockey’s Explosive Start
The big story? **Leah Woodward** absolutely went off. This player, who was exceptional at handling the ball, tallied a HAT TRICK, bagging three goals AND one assist. Yeah, you heard that right: three goals. That’s how you lead the offense when you’re defending a state title. But she wasn’t alone, not by a long shot. Aurora Quenneville added two goals herself, showing this D-Y attack is serious, and Sammie Precourt chipped in with one goal. The defense was locked down too, with Jenna Richard anchoring the back line and even racking up two assists. Avery Post also grabbed an assist. This team is *here* to play, and everyone’s contributing.
Other Field Hockey Action Heats Up Early
Across the league, other field hockey squads are already bringing the drama. Nauset (2-0-0) pulled off a wild 2-1 win against Barnstable, scoring with just three minutes left to break a tie. All three goals came after halftime, so you know the second half was electric! Emma Steenstra got the only goal for the Redhawks (1-1-0) off an assist from Cate Buckler, but Nauset’s Avery Croteau was a defensive powerhouse with multiple saves. Izzy Hill was a rock in goal for Nauset, making eight saves. Meanwhile, Sandwich (2-0-0) grabbed an early season signature victory, shutting out Duxbury 2-0 in another non-league clash. These early season matchups are already getting intense!
Early Season Soccer and Volleyball Battles
On the boys soccer pitch, Cape Tech (1-0-1) got their campaign off the mark with a 3-1 win over Falmouth Academy (0-1-0). Freshman Davey Soule scored his first high school goal in the second half, which is huge! Dominic Zuluaga and Noah Leveque were solid in the midfield, and Dylan Joyce stood tall with 12 saves in goal. For girls volleyball, Marshfield swept Dennis-Yarmouth 3-0. Giulianna DeSouza led the Dolphins (0-1) with seven kills, while Maya Turek and Emily Orman (four digs) each had four kills. Alyssa Magee dropped eight assists and two aces, and eighth-grader Aaylah Gomes made her varsity debut with five digs and an assist. Calvary Chapel Academy (0-1) also got swept 3-0 on the road to open their season. But don’t sleep on Barnstable volleyball, who secured their third straight sweep, beating Duxbury 3-0 to start the regular season 3-0!
It’s clear that this season is already bringing the heat across the board. D-Y field hockey looks like they mean business in their title defense, and Barnstable volleyball is an absolute force. We’re just getting started, folks, and there’s so much more to look forward to as these teams settle into their campaigns!
