WATERTOWN – Belmont provided a giant scare, but tally another mark in the history books for the Watertown field hockey program.
By staving off six Marauders offensive corners in the second half – including a potential game-tying opportunity on expired time at the end of regulation – the Raiders (3-0) narrowly clung to a 2-1 Middlesex League crossover win Tuesday night for the legendary program’s 100th straight victory.
It wasn’t the prettiest of wins for the four-time defending Div. 3 state champs, but it was just enough to overcome standout opposing performances from stars Mackenzie Clarke and Elsie Lakin-Schultz as Belmont (2-1) rallied.
Aisling Brennock and Kaylee Master scored the goals in the first half for Watertown, while Natalia Keuchikarian notched six saves in the win.
