Wilmington Too Much For Second-Seeded Girls Soccer

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.

It may have been a false sense of hope with a season-opening 4-0 win over North Reading. Or maybe it was still learning to play with each other early in the season. Either way, the Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School girls soccer team was unable to get the offense going in a 1-0 loss to visiting Amesbury on Tuesday. “We were obviously not clicking on all cylinders today,” said coach Chalmers Congdon. “It was a tough loss but we will take what we can from it.” When asked what that might be, Congdon rattled off, “intensity, communication and working together” off the top of his head. “This was a tough game to watch (as a coach),” he said. “Our passes weren’t where they needed to be.” The Generals (1-1) turned up the pressure a bit in the …
