Wellesley Girls Hockey Title Bid Ends in Defeat

WELLESLEY, MA - In an attempt to snap their streak of falling short in the state title game, the Wellesley girls hockey team took on Notre Dame Academy Sunday morning.

Unfortunately, it wasn't their year.

After letting in an early goal 1:42 into the first period, the Raiders lost to the Cougars 3-1. This is the third year in a row they've made it to the Division 2 championship and come up empty-handed; in 2014 they lost 6-2 to Westwood, followed up by a heartbreaking 3-2 overtime loss to Falmouth last year.

Though the Wellesley girls remained scoreless for two periods, they came alive in the third and prevented the shutout.

Ending the contest on a high note, both Wellesley players and coach George Campbell told the Wellesley Townsman they were proud about what the team had accomplished.

The game was the first championship appearance and win for Notre Dame academy.
