The Watertown High School field hockey team once again has established a long winning streak, has claimed three straight State Championships, and in 2024 the seniors seek to complete an undefeated career with the Raiders, a feat that caught the attention of a Boston news station.
Watertown begins the 2024 campaign on Wednesday at 4:15 p.m. at Victory Field against Lexington. Last season, the Raiders went 22-0 and defeated Newburyport 4-3 in the MIAA Div. 3 State Final. The previous two years they defeated Sandwich in the final.
Watertown’s current winning streak is 75. The Raiders must put together several more undefeated campaigns to reach Watertown’s own National Record 184 games unbeaten, which ended in 2017.
This week, senior co-captains Rachel Egan and Adrianna Williams were named MVPs of the Week by WBZ Channel 4. The pair, along with Coach Eileen Donahue, talked about what the keys to creating a such a successful program. See the video here.
The Raiders will have nine regular season home games. The State Tournament will begin on Oct. 31, and the State Final is anticipated to be Nov. 15 or 16, according to the MIAA website.
