Yesterday we took a look back at Wellesley’s road to the Garden, now it’s time to take a look at the team they will be playing the Cougars of Notre Dame Academy. Here’s a little of what you need to know about the Cougars heading into Sunday’s matchup.
Record: 18-4-2 (First Catholic Conference)
Goals Scored: 102
Goals Allowed: 43
How they got here:
Beat Mansfield/Oliver Ames 11-3 in D2 Preliminary Round
Beat Winchester 2-1 in D2 First Round
Beat Tewksbury/Methuen 8-2 in D2 Quarterfinals
Beat Matignon 9-3 in D2 Semifinals
Notes:
This will be the first ever trip for the Cougars to the TD Garden and despite their 9th seed in the tournament this team packs quite the punch offensively. The Cougars have not only scored over 100 goals up to this point but are averaging 7.5 goals per game in the tournament alone. This team certainly has depth as evidenced by the fact that one of their top scorers is only an 8th grader (Gabrielle Roy). Defensively the team has been lead in net by senior Caroline Bell.
