1. Monaghan, O'Donnell shine as Pats girls soccer team blanks Wellesley, 4-0 (concordbridge.org) — Concord-Carlisle's girls soccer team handed Wellesley a tough 4–0 loss in the Krauss Cup opener on September 19, breaking the game open with four second-half goals. Wellesley's Raiders were repeatedly denied by standout goalkeeping, while Concord-Carlisle's offense capitalized after halftime. The Patriots now sit at 6–0 overall and 3–0 in league play.
2. The best weekend ever ft. kayaks, the beach, live music & Flower Sunday (wellesley.edu) — A Wellesley College sophomore walks readers through a packed weekend of campus traditions, including Flower Sunday, kayaking on Lake Waban, and late-night adventures that start and end from Wellesley. Along the way, she highlights how easy it is for students to explore nearby Boston neighborhoods, local music scenes, and Massachusetts beaches while still feeling rooted in the Wellesley community.
3. What it means to be a Clinton Fellow (wellesley.edu) — A Wellesley College student reflects on becoming a Clinton Fellow, joining about 150 sophomores in an intensive summer civic action lab that starts and ends on the Wellesley campus. Through rope courses, policy simulations, and regional service projects, fellows explore how to turn classroom learning into real-world leadership and community impact they'll carry through their Wellesley years and beyond.
4. Best colleges in Massachusetts (boston25news.com) — Massachusetts' latest college rankings place Wellesley College at #9 statewide, highlighting its A+ Niche grade, highly selective 14% acceptance rate, and strong SAT profile.
