Last week, two previously undefeated Titans teams lost that status.
Girls Volleyball suffered its first defeat, 3-1 to Westborough. On Friday, they scored another win, 3-2 over Acton-Boxborough. They now stand at 5-1 for this season.
Field Hockey lost its first game, 2-1 to Leominster, followed with wins over Shrewsbury (2-1) and Sutton (4-0). They now stand at 5-1-1.
Last week, MetroWest Daily News focused in on one of the Field Hockey team’s players — Lindsey Brown. According to the article, the junior was ranked a top 50 field hockey recruit for the Class of 2025 by Maxfieldhockey.com and is already committed to Northwestern, the current No. 2 team in the country.

Girls Soccer tied Shrewsbury (1-1) and Sutton (0-0) with a 4-1 win over Wachusett in between. They now stand at 2-1-2.
Boys Soccer added two wins (1-0 over Shrewsbury and 5-0 over Wachusett) but also another loss (1-0 to Sutton). They now stand at 3-3-1.
