The Lady Wildcats snagged the edge midway through the first half and never looked back, earning a 2-0 win over Hamilton-Wenham.
The expression goes that things went wrong for a team as soon as they stepped off the bus. But for the Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School girls soccer team, things weren’t exactly going great even before the bus arrived. On the way to their Div. 2 North semifinal tilt on Saturday night, the Generals hit traffic and didn’t set foot onto the field until about 25 minutes remaining before kick off. Things didn’t get much better from there as sixth-seeded Wilmington toppled second-ranked Hamilton-Wenham in a 2-0 decision. “I said (to the driver) you’ve got to move over, we’re not going to make it. But I don’t think it had an impact on the game,” said head coach Alvi Ibanez. “We understood that at this game on this stage we needed to hang …

The No. 11 Hamilton-Wenham girls soccer team posted another upset in the North Tournament, topping No. 3 Stoneham 3-2 on Tuesday at Woburn High School to advance to the semifinals against Danvers on Thursday.
The No. 11 Hamilton-Wenham girls soccer team prolonged its dream season, as it upset the No. 3 Stoneham Spartans 3-2 in the MIAA Division II North Quarter-Finals on Tuesday, Nov. 9 at Woburn High School. The conditions were miserable as the rain came down for the entire 80 minutes of play, making the flow of the game fast and unpredictable. The Generals (11-5-2) were able to claim the first half as All-League senior midfielder Caroline Savasta netted two goals. Both shots were from a fair distance from the goal - 15 and 25 yards - but the wet ball was mishandled by the Stoneham keeper both times putting the visitors up 2-0 at halftime. "I was telling everyone to take advantage of the weather, and that's what I did," said Savasta of her two…

The Hamilton-Wenham girls soccer team grabbed their third win in four games on Thursday, securing them a place in the state tournament.
The Hamilton-Wenham varsity girls soccer team took full advantage of their opportunity for postseason play, as they have won three of their last four games and clinched a spot in the MIAA State Tournament. "I am psyched," said head coach Chal Congdon. "I knew going in to the season that we had the potential, but you never really know until the games are played." Congdon said he primary goal heading into the season was to eliminate negative feelings. "A sports team never reaches its potential until everybody is pulling for the same goal - if there are feelings of unrest, you have already partially beaten yourself, making your opponent's job easier," Congdon said. The team's most recent victory, a 4-2 win at North Reading High School on …
