Raider Recap 3-18-18

Today was the day that the Wellesley High girls hockey players had been working for since the very beginning of the season, as for the 4th time in 5 years the girls skated on the TD Garden ice in the Division 2 finals against Canton. Now both teams were looking to exorcise some demons as the Raiders as many of you know had fallen at the title game three years in a row in 2014, 15 and 16, while Canton was looking for redemption after falling in the finals a year ago. Luckily for Raider fans it would be their teams turn to shine this year as thanks to a late first period goal by Jenna Harrison and a superb defensive effort the Raiders claimed their first state title since 2006 with a 1-0 victory over the Bulldogs. Wellesley Sports Blitz would like to send the biggest of congratulations to the girls on the banner worthy accomplishment.
