\"palumbo\"<\/a>Two Williston Northampton teams have qualified for post-season play, which begins on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Varsity field hockey (11-3-2) is seeded fourth\u00a0in Class B and will host fifth-seeded Hopkins School. The game will be played at Galbraith Field at 2:15 p.m.<\/p>\n

Field Hockey\u00a0is carrying a six-game winning streak<\/a> into the playoffs, and finished the regular season as the Class B\u00a0Western New England Prep School Field Hockey Association\u00a0<\/span>(WNEPSFHA) Champions. \u00a0Positive momentum, and home field advantage, should serve them well for their opening-round game.<\/p>\n

Some of the most memorable games this season include\u00a0a 3-2 comeback win against Deerfield in overtime, a 3-1 win against Loomis Chaffee, and hard-fought 1-1 tie against Class A tournament #1 seed Hotchkiss. \u00a0Our Wildcats have a good deal of big-game experience, and this should serve the girls well as they begin their playoff campaign.<\/p>\n

Coach Garrity is excited for the playoffs, “These girls have worked hard all fall and it\u2019s great to see their efforts really paying off in the last weeks of the season.\u00a0 I can\u2019t wait to see what this team can do in the tournament.\u00a0 With such a terrific group of senior leaders, anything is possible!”<\/p>\n

Girls var\"wysocki\"sity soccer (10-3-2) is seeded fifth\u00a0and will head to face fourth-seeded Pingree School this Wednesday. Kick off is at 2:00 p.m.<\/p>\n

The girls should be congratulated on a great regular season<\/a>, during which\u00a0they won the Class B\u00a0Womens Western New England Prep School Soccer Association\u00a0<\/span>(WWNEPSSA) Championship. \u00a0 Some of the most memorable games this season include the Friday night 3-0 win against Wilbraham & Monson under the lights, and a pair of 1-0 wins over powerhouses Westminster and Loomis Chaffee. \u00a0With three wins in their last four games, the girls are looking to carry their own momentum into the playoffs.<\/p>\n

A positive and enthusiastic team spirit, fostered by coaches Jen Fulcher and Monique Conroy,\u00a0has been an important factor in the team’s success this season, and the girls will have to harness that enthusiasm throughout the playoffs in order to overcome their opponents.<\/p>\n

Williston wishes both teams the best of luck as they compete for silverware this week.\u00a0For further information on all NEPSAC Tournaments go to the link below.<\/p>\n
