The Raiders held an early lead, but could not hold on during Saturday's MIAA Div. 3 boys' soccer state final in Worcester.
Watertown's magical run through the MIAA Div. 3 boys soccer tournament came up just short as the Raiders could not hold on to an early 1-0 lead and fell to Sutton in the state final, Saturday at Foley Stadium in Worcester. Despite the loss, Watetown coach Frank Cacia said the team accomplished more than any previous Raiders squad. "Give (Sutton) a lot of credit. They’ve been here before," Cacia said. "We scored the first goal, we didn’t lay down. I’m proud of the boys. It was an incredible run. I’m sure if I told them at the beginning of the year we would get to the state final they would tell me I was crazy." Before this year, the farthest the Raiders had advanced was the state semifinal. The Raiders (15-3-6) took a 1-0 lead when junior …

The Watertown boys' basketball team fell to the Crusaders 42-36 in the MIAA Div. 3 state final.
WORCESTER – Winning the state title proved to be a feat too tall for the 2011 Watertown boys’ basketball team, as they fell 42-36 to Whitinsville Christian Saturday at the DCU Center. A large obstacle, in the form of the Crusaders’ 6-9 center Hans Miersma, prevented the Raiders from getting their offense on track, but Watertown’s outside shooting and tenacious defense kept the game close to the end. Early in the game, it looked like Watertown’s outside game might be enough, as the Raiders took a 9-2 lead in the first quarter thanks to three bombs from senior Cory Donohue. Whitinsville Christian head coach Jeff Bajema changed up his defense for Watertown after seeing their speed and ability to penetrate on tape. Rather than go with a man-on…

Coach Eileen Donahue pointed to her players dedication to the team when talking about Watertown's second straight state crown, and 11th overall.
As the Watertown field hockey players screamed and hugged in celebration of the state title win on Saturday in Worcester their coach, Eileen Donahue said it was her players' focus on working together that made the difference. The Raiders beat Auburn 1-0 to clinch their second straight MIAA Div. 2 championship, and two of the key plays demonstrated Watertown's focus on working as a team. "It's different every year," said junior Erika Kelly. "It feels awesome. It's not like it's expected it to happen. We have to work really hard at it." Holding on to a one-goal lead, the Raiders were faced with defending against one last corner by Auburn.

Raiders defeat Auburn in MIAA Div. 2 state final on goal by Erika Kelly. Watertown deny last second chance by Rockets.
The Raiders had to play all-out until the last second, but the Watertown High School field hockey team kept Auburn out of the goal and won a second straight MIAA Div. 2 state title, Saturday, with a 1-0 win over Auburn. A second half goal and a last second save preserved the Raiders' win and another state title – the second in a row and 11th overall – in the final played at Worcester State University's John Coughlin Memorial Stadium. Watertown controlled play much of the game, handling the ball in the Auburn half for much of the first 30 minutes, but neither team could find the back of the net. Watertown coach Eileen Donahue told her team to keep positive and try to get into a flow offensively. "I think first half we clearly missed some …

The Raiders put their 24-0 record on the line against Auburn in the MIAA Div. 2 state final at Worcester State University. The Raiders also seek to defend their state crown, which they won last year in Worcester by beating Oakmont 1-0. Watertown completed the 2009 season with an undefeated 21-0-2 record.
