The Watertown High School soccer teams will soon kick off their season, and both the boys and girls teams will look to do even better that last year.
In 2018, the boys made the State Tournament but were knocked out in the sectional quarterfinal. Meanwhile, the girls are looking to make the tournament after missing out last season.
Boys Soccer
After several scrimmages, the boys soccer team will open against Boston Latin (at Millenium Park) on Sept. 2. The Raider open the home schedule against Arlington on Sept. 10, in the third game of the regular season.
The home schedule also includes Belmont on Oct. 4, along with Stoneham on Oct. 2 and the final home game on Oct. 23 against Wilmington. The Raiders will play six times under the lights at home. The regular season ends for the WHS boys at Stoneham on Oct. 25.
Girls Soccer
The girls start the 2019 season at home against Winchester on Sept. 5. The Belmont game will be an away night game on Oct. 4.
While most of the girls games take place on the Victory Field Oval (inside the track), the Raiders will play three games on the Victory Field Turf, the field used with the football team, among other teams. The three games include a morning match vs. Wakefield on Oct. 14, and two night games — Oct. 25 against Stoneham and Oct. 30 when Arlington Catholic visits in a non-league game. The AC game ends the WHS girls’ regular season.
