Girls Soccer Earns Share of Middlesex Crown

The Wilmington is new to the Middlesex League. But the Lady Wildcats have already made a name for themselves.

On Wednesday, head coach Sue Hendee's charges welcomed Burlington to town and notched a lopsided 3-0 victory at Alumni Stadium

Thanks to the win and Stoneham's loss to Wakefield, Wilmington earned a share of the Middlesex League Small School Division regular season crown. Both teams have league marks of 7-1-2.

Against Burlington, the Wildcats were dominant on offense throughout, outshooting the visitors 18-1.

Rachel Grabar took a pass from Kaitlyn Curley and gave her team a 1-0 edge at the 35 minute mark. That's how the score stayed at halftime, but the Wildcats built on their edge in the second half.

Jackie Kennedy took a cross from Alex Bischoff at 51:30 of the second half and Holly Niemiec iced the win on a breakaway late to seal the win.

Shawsheen Technical High School comes to Wilmington on Monday as the Wildcats wrap up the regular season at 3:45 p.m.
