Sabers Are 4-0 For The Season
Traveling to Londonderry on April 17th, the Souhegan girls found themselves in a tight match but were able to pull out a victory (10-7) using their midfield speed and excellent goalie work by Kate Dobbs. Tyler Petropulos (2 goals, 3 assists) controlled the draw directing it to her wings or herself on almost every occasion. Teydin Hall had a terrific game in the defensive end and it seemed as if she controlled almost every ball that was loose on the ground. With her speed, Teydin easily ran past the opponents. MORE
