Bromfield’s varsity teams are finding their footing in one of the wettest fall seasons in memory. But when the weather’s good, coaches report, the fields are in OK shape. All six teams notched victories this week. The boys and girls cross-country teams have dominated their Midland-Wachusett C League opponents with runners on both teams winning the top three positions in their first two races of the season. (See story above.)
The golfers (5-1-0) are also doing well, slightly behind first place Littleton (5-1-0), which has a one-match lead in team victories.
The boys soccer team (4-2-0) edged into second place last week in the seven-member Mid-Wach C following a 7-0 win against Quabbin Regional (1-5-0) last week. But this year the five-time state champions face a tough challenger in league-leading Oakmont (6-0-0), and the Trojans recently stumbled in a game against an aggressive fourth place Maynard team (3-3-0), losing 3-2 to the Tigers in an away game.
The field hockey team (2-2-1) scored its second win of the season last week against Fitchburg
(0-5-0), a non-league competitor. (See story on page 9.) The players have yet to win a league game, however, and the team is currently ranked fifth in the six-school Mid-Wach D. “We always get better,” senior co-captain Olivia Mueller-Juez assured a reporter this week.
The Press is following six Bromfield varsity teams this fall: boys and girls soccer and cross-country, boys golf, and girls field hockey.
