New England Championship 2021

On October 30th and October 31st, your favorite Terriers took part in the CWPA New England Championship. Entering as the 3rd-seeded team, we competed in a round-robin style tournament against BC, Coast Guard, Dartmouth, Northeastern, UConn and Yale.

Our first game was against UConn. As our first official game of the season, it took us a second to shake off the rust. As the game went on, the team started clicking, leading to a 16-2 win over the Huskies.

Advancing in the bracket, we next faced off against Dartmouth. Going in, we knew it would be a tough game, as always. Unfortunately, we were not able to pull off the win, and as a result, we played for third place.

Our last game was against a resurgent Yale team, having beaten Northeastern and given BC a tough game. Through some slick gameplay and great coaching, your Terriers squeezed out a 12-10 win, securing third place! A special shout-out goes to Hoku Eggertsen for sacrificing his finger for the team (not cut off, just fractured).

Although it wasn’t meant to be this year, we are already gearing up and prepping for next year. The most important part of the season – the offseason – has begun, and we are ready to improve on our standing next year!IMG_6188
