Watertown's girls' hockey team traveled to Belmont and brought home a win against their rivals.
It has seemed as if there is a will in which a Watertown girls team can beat Belmont, Erika Kelly is the way they are going to do it. Kelly, the three sport senior standout, has been the bane of Belmont's contest for the past three years, whether on the field hockey pitch, the softball diamond and on the ice. And Wednesday, Dec. 14, afternoon's match between the neighboring rivals saw Kelly the difference once again, scoring twice as Watertown began its season with a hard fought 4-2 victory at Belmont's "Skip" Viglirolo Rink, despite being outplayed for long stretches by a Marauder team that peppered Raiders' sophomore goalie Anna Kleis with 32 shots. "Kleis is a young starter who we need to play well and she came through against a …

The senior's hat trick helped lift the Raiders to a win in the Middlesex League Clash
Erika Kelly's hat trick provided more than enough offense to lift Watertown High School's field hockey team over Stoneham on Monday afternoon. The senior scored two first half goals, and fellow senior Lauren Giordano scored to give Watertown a three-goal lead over Stoneham going into halftime. Stoneham goalie Denise O'Brien did her best to keep her team in the game, and made 21 saves during the match. Watertown's attack kept coming, however, and the Raiders scored on two long shots from near the edge of the 16-yard circle. Allie Doggett scored the first and Kelly scored the final Watertown goal to earn her hat trick.
