Yesterday the Blanchard field hockey lost their game against Acton. Acton is a competitive team but we put up a good fight. Special shout outs going to our amazing goalie Kaelyn D. and the excellent performance from our defensive players Ainsley S., Allison A., and Erin M. who showed great perseverance. Additionally, shout out to Lauren M. for the goal she scored and to all our midfielders and forwards who helped assist her to make the goal possible!

The Blanchard Girls Soccer team completed a successful week of soccer with a 4-0 win against Concord and a 1-0 win against Acton.  Olivia C. posted her 4th straight shutout of the season, making two goal-line saves against Concord and stopping several attempted break-aways against Acton.  Jillian K. and Syd R. lead a great team defensive effort, while Jillian A. and Allyson V. helped to shut down Acton's best player.  On offense, Sophie C. scored twice against Concord, while Addie D. had a goal and two assists.  Striker Paige M. scored against Concord, then fired in the game winner against Acton off passes from Elizabeth T. and Syd R.  The girls will look to keep their streak alive on Thursday at home against Lincoln.
