Raider senior Erika Kelly scored two goals as Watertown defeated the Sachems to advance to the semifinals of the MIAA North Section playoffs.
Three second half goals vaulted the Watertown field hockey team past Winchester, Friday, in the MIAA North Section quarterfinal playoff game played at Waltham High School. The game remained scoreless through much of the first half, until senior Kaitlyn Carlson scored with 8:39 left in the half.

"It was a beautiful goal, unfortunately it was against us," White said. In the second half, the Raiders increased the offensive pressure, and less than five minutes into the second half senior Erika Kelly got the ball well outside the circle, drove toward the net and put it in …

The Red Raiders enter the playoffs 18-0 and seek back-to-back state titles.
The numbers for the Watertown girl's field hockey team under coach Eileen Donahue have been impressive. In 25 years, the Red Raiders have won 10 state championships and are currently defending champs from 2009. When the MIAA brackets came out this week it probably came as no surprise to anyone to see Watertown as No. 1 in the Div. 2 North playoff picture.
