As the winter sports season comes to a close, Girls Hockey and Girls and Boys Indoor Track continue to impress as they are representing Algonquin in their respective competitions.
Members of the Track teams are competing in Nationals, while Girls Hockey heads into the “Final Four” this weekend. On Wednesday night, Titans Girls Hockey beat Nauset/Monomoy in overtime, for their 10th straight win.
Up to the third period the teams were gridlocked 0-0 until sophomore Alex Cutler scored for Algonquin, putting them in the lead. The goal was shortly followed by Carly Brand of the Warriors, tying the game.
The golden goal was scored in overtime by senior captain Emily Johns, securing the Titans’ spot in the state semi-finals.
They will face the top seeded team in MIAA DII, Duxbury. With their record of 22-3 against Algonquin’s 16-6-1, it’s going to be an intense game.
