HHS Sports Roundup: Boys soccer, field hockey win tourney openers

by | Nov 3, 2024 | Featured: Sports,

The Hopkinton High School boys soccer team opened postseason play Sunday afternoon with a 2-0 home victory over Southeastern Regional Vocational Tech in a Division 2 preliminary round game.

The 31st-seeded Hillers (6-9-3) next will play at second-seeded Mansfield on Wednesday at 5 p.m. SRVT, the 34th seed, ends its season with a record of 12-3-4.

Both Hopkinton goals were initiated by heads-up plays on corners kicks. On the first one, Zach Beauchemin saw the defense was slow to set up, so he raced over to the sideline, and Owen Champlin, taking the corner, made a short pass to him. Beauchemin looped the ball on net, and it deflected off a defender’s head and into the goal with 22:28 left in the half.

A few minutes later, Beauchemin took a corner on the opposite side and again took advantage of the defense, tapping the ball to Ian Weilding. The freshman carried it toward the goal and fired a ball that deflected off the goalie’s arm. A defender at the near post tried to clear it, but it went to the front, a few feet from the goal line, where Landon Fitzgibbon found it and slammed it home.

HHS goalie Owen Silva, meanwhile, made sure nothing got past him.

Field hockey advances

The HHS field hockey team also posted a 2-0 victory in its playoff opener Saturday against visiting Oliver Ames.

Hopkinton (10-7-2), the 13th seed in Division 2, next will play a Round of 16 game at fourth-seeded Nashoba (10-3-5) this Tuesday at 5 p.m. Oliver Ames, the 20th seed, ends it season at 10-7-2.

Ella Fowler opened the scoring in the second quarter, drilling a low shot to the corner of the goal off a penalty corner. Abby Burke scored an insurance goal in the fourth quarter, slamming home a loose ball in front after a shot from Zoe Adams was blocked by a defender.

Riley Curtin recorded the shutout in the HHS goal.

Volleyball, girls soccer set to go

Girls volleyball earned the fourth seed in Division 2 with a mark of 16-4. The Hillers host Scituate on Monday at 6:30 p.m. Scituate (11-10), the 29th seed, knocked off Agawam, 3-1, in the preliminary round. …

The HHS girls soccer team is seeded seventh in the Division 1 tournament with a record of 15-1-2 and will begin tourney play by hosting Shrewsbury on Tuesday at 6 p.m. Shrewsbury, at 8-7-3, is seeded 26th. …

HHS football, which did not qualify for the playoffs, will play at Dover-Sherborn this Friday at 6 p.m.
