    WARRIORS WATCH

    Nauset Spring Sports Preview, Part 1

    Softball, baseball, and lacrosse squads look to make the postseason

    By

    EASTHAM — Spring is officially here and with it come the sights and sounds of athletes on the fields, courts, track, and, in the case of the sailing team, the water. Last week marked the start of practice for Nauset Regional High School’s 10 spring sports teams. This is the first of a two-part preview. Next week the focus will be on tennis, golf, and track.
     

    Softball

    Coach Harold Pini returns for a 10th year, and his team has eight returning starters from a squad that posted a 7-13 record a season ago. Pini, in his 29th season coaching softball, believes that if his team can get consistent pitching to go with its proven hitting and fielding, they will make a strong bid for a .500 season or better and a spot in the state tournament. It’s a young team, with more than half the players in 8th and 9th grade, but they’re led by four senior captains — Lila Alger, Molly Farrell, Camnie Rose, and Audrey Silva.

    Key returners: Brynn Kew, Lila Alger, Molly Farrell, Camnie Rose, Audrey Silva.

    Newcomer to watch: Ava Lagasse.

    Fun fact: According to Alger, “We have all just met, and already we are really good friends.”

    Upcoming schedule: The softballers open their season at home on Thursday, March 27 against Sandwich.

     

    Baseball

    Coach Brett Labonte is in his second year. The Warriors are coming off a strong regular season when they doubled their win total from the previous year to finish 14-6. The team reached the second round in the state tournament, losing a competitive game to the eventual champion, Oakmont. The squad lost 10 players to graduation and transfers but will boast a junior-heavy lineup that saw plenty of action last year. Six starters are juniors, as are five of Labonte’s top six pitchers. Labonte’s objective is to field “a competitive playoff team every year,” and he believes that this will be the case in 2025.

    Key returners: Paul Alves, James Breda, Jake Doherty, Brody Bassett, Tyler Manchuk.

    Newcomers to watch: Colin Potter, Emmett Blatz, Seamus Mahoney, Michael DeSimone.

    Fun fact: Every projected starter played on Coach Labonte’s junior varsity squad in his first year at Nauset (2023).

    Upcoming schedule: The team travels to Brooklyn, N.Y. this weekend for two preseason games before returning home to host Bishop Stang in the season opener at Eldredge Park in Orleans on Tuesday, April 1.

     

    Girls Lacrosse

    Coach Heather Stevens, in her 22nd year, would “love to progress in the tournament” this season after a loss in the Round of 16 in 2024. With eight returning seniors and nine returning starters from an 11-9 team, there is a strong foundation in place to achieve that goal. Stevens believes they have the talent and cohesiveness to make a strong run even in the face of a tough schedule. Zoe Labdon and Julia Kipperman head the returning cast, while Norah Swanson and Maeve Kennally will be a formidable duo in goal.

    Key returners: Zoe Labdon, Julia Kipperman, Norah Swanson, Maeve Kennally.

    Newcomers to watch: Mariel Hanifan, Sam Curley, Colby Shipman, Maddie Coccoro, Jordan Nye, Ava O’Connell, Megan Sullivan.

    Fun fact: The team boasts the “cutest lacrosse dog on Cape Cod.” Sushi, a golden retriever, has been the team’s constant companion and mascot for 10 years.

    Upcoming schedule: The Warriors open at home on Tuesday, April 1 against Sandwich.

     

    Boys Lacrosse

    Coach Jesse Peno is in his sixth year. The Warriors posted a 9-9 regular season record last year but due to a demanding schedule and competitive games against tough teams earned a very respectable fifth seed in the Division 3 tournament. They made it all the way to the Final Four, a first for the program. With nine starters and over a dozen seniors returning, including league MVP Logan Poulin, Peno is looking for his squad to make another push deep into the state tournament.

    Key returners: Logan Poulin, Zach Coelho, Joe Berardi, Michael Flynn, Sawyer McCutchen, Mason Santos, Brendan Peno.

    Newcomer to watch: Jack Peno.

    Fun fact: Nine players were members of the newly crowned Division 3 hockey state champions.

    Upcoming schedule: Coach Peno’s team starts the year on the road against Mansfield on Thursday, March 27. Their first home game is on Friday, April 4 versus King Philip.

     

    Sailing

    Coach Alexis Mathison’s sailors had a “really successful season” in 2024 when they posted a 6-4 record and had two girls place third in the Women’s Individual Championships. Mathison and her charges are entering 2025 with high expectations, looking to equal or exceed last year’s win total. The team looked sharp during its first outing on the water last week, exhibiting a high level of communication and competitiveness. Two transfers from Cape Cod Academy (Luke Pierce and Grace Smith) will complement a strong set of veterans.

    Key returners: Jessie Swain, Sam Covell, Tommy Poor, Cameron Long.

    Newcomers to watch: Luke Pierce, Grace Smith, Andrew Drake

    Fun fact: Coach Mathison’s father, Mark, has been her assistant coach for her nine years at the helm.

    Upcoming schedule: The team opens on the road on Thursday, March 27 against Falmouth, the first of four consecutive away meets. Their first home meet is not until Thursday, April 10 versus Sandwich at the Orleans Yacht Club.

    HOCKEY SIDEBAR: TEAM SPIRIT

    ‘That’s Logan Poulin!’

    By

    BOSTON — “That’s Logan Poulin!” said an awestruck Milton High School student, pointing at the Warriors’ captain near the end of Nauset’s 4-1 win against Medfield on Sunday. “He’s one of the best players I’ve ever seen.”

    Poulin finished his high school career with an undefeated run to the state championship and a record-breaking 189 points in three years of play.

    The game’s late start — because the previous game between Billerica and Canton went to double overtime — meant that Milton fans caught the end of the Nauset-Medfield game when they arrived to support their team, playing in the next finals match.

    Many Milton fans were familiar with Poulin, having met him during his brief enrollment at Milton Academy in the fall of 2022. A crowd of Milton High students filed into a row of open seats near the Nauset section, where they led the black-and-gold-clad crowd in cheers for Nauset’s top scorer.

    “LO-gan POU-lin! LO-gan POU-lin! LO-gan POU-lin!”

    Eccentric outfits, most sported by the players’ classmates, populated the stands. Gabe Walsh, a sophomore from Brewster, wore a gold spandex suit and a yellow tutu to the game, “because Nauset is the best and we’re gonna win,” he said. Junior Priscilla Labranche had painted the Batman logo on her face with gold glitter in honor of a necktie sometimes worn by Poulin and goalie Zach Coelho.

    Eastham’s Deputy Fire Chief Eric Littman was wearing a black-and-gold-decorated fire hat in honor of Warriors defender Andrew Bohannon, who recently completed an internship at the fire dept. “We made up this helmet just for him on his last day,” Littman said.

    It wasn’t always cheery in the Nauset stands. After Medfield took a 1-0 lead in the second period, the mood grew dour. Medfield’s fans began to chant “Who’s your daddy?” to their rivals across the ice; Nauset’s response was lukewarm.

    “The fans need to be louder,” said Nauset High administrative assistant Christine Labranche. The Warriors were outshooting their opponents but needed to apply even more pressure.

    The Nauset fans found their stride around the time Milton’s supporters arrived. Jake Eldredge scored the go-ahead goal, and the Nauset-Milton coalition broke into its own gleeful “Who’s your daddy?”

    Maybe all the fans needed was a little faith. As the crowd around her bit their nails and shook their heads, Eddy Elementary student Savannah Stevens told a reporter that, after following Nauset all season, she was confident Poulin would lead the Warriors to victory.

    Less than an hour later, she knew she was right.

    BOYS HOCKEY

    Nauset Blanks Danvers and Advances to Elite 8

    The Warriors’ next obstacle in title run is their old rival, Marblehead

    By

    ORLEANS — The Nauset Warriors made it look easy on Saturday, cruising to their second playoff hockey win, 9-0, over the Danvers Falcons and advancing to the Mass. Div. 3 Elite 8. It was the 16th consecutive win for the top-ranked boys team, whose only stumble this season was a 2-2 tie with Milton on Jan. 25.

    Senior captain Logan Poulin scored the first goal of the Danvers game on a pass from defender Andrew Bohannon about a minute into the first period, knocking the puck past Falcons goalie Cody Standring. Poulin went on to score two more times against the 16th-seeded Falcons, securing his usual hat trick. His other goals were in the second and third periods on assists from junior defender Logan Miller and senior defender Jack Martin.

    But it was senior forward Colin Ward who stole the show on Saturday night, scoring his own hat trick in the first period. The first goal came on a breakaway from one end of the rink to the other, Ward hopping gracefully past the Danvers defenders before scoring unassisted. The next came only minutes later, on passes from junior forward Jake Eldredge and defender Logan Miller following a gleeful sequence of casual passes between the two; the third followed shortly after on a pass from junior defender Oscar Escher.

    “I was pretty happy with those goals,” Ward said. “The whole team was working hard — for the breakaway, I just found some ice and took the net.”

    Eldredge also went home with a hat trick on Saturday, scoring all three goals on assists from Poulin, with extra assistance from junior forward Brody Bassett in the first period.

    Ward said that his team is most comfortable in the offensive zone — that’s where there’s no threat of getting scored against, so he feels more confident. “That said, we’re ready for anything,” he said.

    Senior forward Colin Ward attacks the net against Middleborough on Feb. 26.

    On Thursday, March 6, Nauset will have its long-awaited rematch with the Marblehead Magicians, the team that defeated the Warriors 1-0 in last year’s finals at Boston’s TD Garden. The game will be at Bourne’s Gallo Arena, but for all the energy crackling through the locker room it might as well be at Madison Square Garden: 16 of the 23 members of this year’s team played in last year’s championship game, including Poulin, who told the Independent last year he had “no doubt” they’d be back in 2025 to take the crown.

    The Warriors’ path to their rematch with Marblehead has not been as drama-free as many in the partisan crowd at Charles Moore Arena anticipated. In the first-round playoff game on Feb. 26, Nauset pulled away to a workmanlike 5-0 win over the 33rd-seeded Middleborough Sachems, but not before the teams battled through a surprisingly scoreless 15 minutes.

    The first period deadlock was attributable mainly to the stellar work of the Sachems’ goalie, Connor Mitchell. The Warriors spent most of the time in the attack zone, but their shots that were not wide of the net were handled adroitly by Mitchell who, despite being a senior, was playing in only his first year at the high school level.

    Poulin shoots through traffic and scores.

    Nauset finally broke through early in the second period on a goal by the steady Colin Ward off a Logan Miller assist. It remained a tense one-goal game with Nauset continuing to dictate the action but failing to find the back of the net. Poulin put the crowd somewhat at ease by scoring with just under five minutes remaining in the stanza. That goal was a thing of beauty, as he outskated the defense to pull in his own rebound and ripped a shot past Mitchell to make it 2-0 going into the third.

    That goal was the first of what became a rare natural hat trick for Poulin. Over 11 minutes, spanning the end of the second period and the start of the third, his three consecutive tallies gave the Warriors a 4-0 lead and ended whatever suspense there may have been.

    Nauset goalie Zach Coelho notched two more shutouts in the first two playoff games.

    Junior defenseman Max Lanzetta closed out the scoring with a power-play goal. Junior Jake Eldredge had three assists, while Ward added an assist to go along with his goal.

    Goalie Zach Coelho was his usual steady self, gloving or turning aside the few shots his defensive unit allowed, while registering Nauset’s 10th shutout of the season.

    Whether Coelho can maintain that steadiness against his next opponents could dictate whether Nauset finally takes home the trophy this year. Last year he was the one who let in the goal that won Marblehead the title.

    But that necessary playoff mentality, if somewhat elusive last Wednesday, was on full display on Saturday. Coach Connor Brickley said it’s the friendly competition between his star players — including but not limited to the three who took hat tricks — that drives them to do better every game. Obviously, points aren’t everything — but, he said, “it’s nice to see players like Colin getting rewarded for their hard work. It’s great competition within our lineup to establish who’s going to be the big guy every single night,” he added. “It’s great for the team.”

    BASEBALL

    Junior Chase Beach Is the Ace in This Year’s Rotation

    His velocity tops out at just over 86 m.p.h.

    By

    EASTHAM — Nauset High junior Chase Beach eats, sleeps, and breathes baseball.

    “I’m thinking about baseball all the time,” says Beach. “When I wake up, I’m thinking about baseball, and when I go to bed, I’m thinking about the next day and what I must do to be better. It’s all I think about.”

    Beach, an Orleans resident, is the ace in the Warriors’ pitching rotation this season and a key cog in the field and at the plate.

    The Warriors under first-year Head Coach Doug Mason, who returns to the program having been the junior varsity coach in Beach’s freshman year, lost three starting pitchers to graduation last season. Max Dio, Cam Beer, and Dylan Duarte are gone. So, Nauset has had to reload in search of a third consecutive Cape and Islands Atlantic Division championship.

    Beach, a right-hander, is at the forefront of that pursuit.

    “He’s so committed,” says teammate and Nauset senior Jack Cronan. “He’s the leader of the team, and when you see him putting in the work like that, yeah, you can get behind that.”

    The 17-year-old is putting up some “disgusting” numbers in the weight room to get his body in the right condition for the season. In the off-season, Beach worked hard under instructor Dylan Morris at Lab Baseball in Hyannis, where he targeted new pitching grips and worked on his exit velocity at the plate. He’s currently moving 545 pounds on his trap bar deadlift, and his reverse lunge is at 350 pounds — the weight of a 42-gallon drum of oil.

    “I just love the game,” says Beach. “I love getting better and putting up some fun numbers in the gym and on the field.” On his social media feed you can watch him throw a baseball the full 100-yard length of the Nauset football field. “I hope to play in college, so the drive to get there is what keeps me going,” he says.

    Watching Beach throw, you can see every inch of movement on the ball. His curveball starts in the zone and by the time it reaches the batter a second later it’s fallen out. Strike!

    “He expects a lot,” says senior catcher Dan Deering, one of four catchers on the Nauset roster. “He’s a routine kind of guy — he does it every day. If he’s pitching, you know you have to get locked in and be at your best, because that’s the level he’s going to be at. The professionalism he brings to the team is awesome, especially with the younger guys.”

    Beach stares down the batter from the mound.

    Beach is throwing about 83 to 85 miles per hour. He’s topped out at just over 86 m.p.h. That gives the batter less than half a second to decide if he’s going to swing or not. Elite hitters have a chance to get a bat on the ball; for the rest, it’s too late.

    For a pitcher, it’s all about command. “I had a high walk rate last year, so I’ve been working on getting my pitches into the strike zone more consistently, because it’s not going to help if I’m throwing four balls,” Beach says.

    His aim is to be an all-around great player. He’s featured at first base for the Warriors and has shown he can take an opposing pitcher deep. Practice ends on his time. During a recent intersquad scrimmage, he wanted an extra at bat, so they played an extra half-inning. “I don’t want any pitcher being comfortable with me in the box,” he says.

    Beach, whose goal is to play in college, is in the perfect place for baseball. The Cape Cod Baseball League is one of the premier summer leagues for college players, and the Warriors play on the same field as the Orleans Firebirds at historic Eldredge Park. “They hold themselves to a different standard,” he says. “Seeing them, it makes you more driven; it makes you work harder.”

    Beach doesn’t have to look far for insight on what it takes to get to the next level. His brother, Chris, a Nauset graduate, is currently playing at Salve Regina University in Newport, R.I.

    “My brother has been a great role model,” Chase says. “He was doing the same thing in high school that I’m doing — just getting after it. Seeing the difference from high school to college, it’s a lot, but I want that. The way they train, the way they eat, and how they rest and recover. It’s more than just being on the field — it’s what you do to prepare to be on it. You see the best players, and they all do it.”

    “He also wants to be a leader,” says Coach Mason. “That’s what stands out about him. Wherever he goes, that college coach is going to be happy that he has him on the roster.”

    Nauset is looking to improve on its Round of 32 exit in the MIAA Division 2 State Tournament last season. The team opened the season on April 4 against St. John Paul II at McKeon Field.

    “I’ll do whatever I need to help the team,” Beach says. “I’m not where I want to be yet, but we’re getting there.”

    Lacrosse Boys Finish With 9 Straight Wins

    A weekly view of Nauset High sports

    EASTHAM — The Nauset Regional High School boys lacrosse team won its ninth straight game, defeating Falmouth 13-5 on May 26, to finish the season with a 16-2 record. Andrew Berardi led the way with nine goals and two assists, bringing his points total for the season to 102 (71 goals, 31 assists).

    The Warriors head into the Div. 2 State Lacrosse Tournament at 15th in the power rankings, with their opponent in the first round still to be determined.

    Nauset baseball split a pair of games to close the year with a 13-7 record, defending the team’s Cape and Islands Atlantic Div. crown in the process. Cam Beer pitched a complete game while Pete Murphy had two RBIs, and Max Dio hit a three-run homer to lift the Warriors to a 5-3 road win over Plymouth South on May 25. The Warriors then fell to Div. 1 Lexington 7-4 in the regular season finale on May 28.

    The team now turns its attention to the Div. 2 State Baseball Tournament, where it currently stands at 13th in the power rankings.

    The Warriors’ girls lacrosse team failed to make it three straight wins in a 10-4 loss to Falmouth on May 26. Nauset was scheduled to host Dennis-Yarmouth on Tuesday for Senior Day.

    Paytah Dill ran his 400-meter hurdles race in 1:00.27 to finish in third place for the Nauset track and field team behind winner Ben Coviello of North Middlesex Regional High School and William Vasquez of Medfield at the Div. 4 Track and Field Championship.

    The Nauset boys and girls tennis teams enter the Div. 2 State Tournament ranked 24th and 35th, respectively. The boys are riding a six-match winning streak, with the latest triumph a 3-2 win over Monomoy to finish the year with a 14-4 record. The Nauset girls, meanwhile, slipped to 9-9 following road losses to St. John Paul II and Wareham.

    Nauset softball couldn’t overcome one-loss Sturgis East on Senior Day and also fell to Wareham on the final day of the season to end its campaign with a 6-12 record.

    The state tournament schedules will be announced this week.

    Nauset Boys Hockey Stays Alive

    Double-overtime win keeps the Warriors in the tournament

    By

    Update: The boys hockey team lost in the Round of 16 to Lynnfield by a score of 7-1 on Wednesday night. 

    EASTHAM — The Nauset boys hockey team showed sheer determination on the ice Saturday night in a double-overtime win over North Middlesex in the Round of 32 of the Division III state tournament.

    The Warriors struck first as senior Cooper Guiliano put one in the back of the net with about two minutes left in the first period. Despite being up 1-0 early, the team looked slow through the first two periods.

    North Middlesex took advantage of a few Nauset mistakes and managed to score two shorthanded goals. The Patriots tied it at 1-1 early in the second period and then, with 7:30 left in the third period, the Warriors left the puck out in front of their own net and the Patriots went up 2-1.

    As the clock ticked down it looked like the Warriors, seeded 13th, were going to be upset by the Patriots, seeded 20th. Nauset pulled its goalie in a desperate move. With just 32 seconds left in regulation, sophomore Cam Connery slipped past the defense and scored to tie the game.

    After a scoreless first overtime period, Nauset started the second overtime by attacking the net. That paid off as junior Logan Valine controlled the puck up the ice, skated around the last defender, and flicked the puck into the top of the net for the 3-2 victory.

    The four seniors on the team, Cam Viprino, Hayden Boucher, Zach Roberts, and Guiliano, spoke about their team’s toughness and close bond during an interview in February.

    “The thing about Nauset, we don’t have the most skill, we don’t have the most players showing up for tryouts, but we work harder than any other team out there,” Viprino said. “That sense of family and knowing that everyone has each other’s back really helps us on the ice.”

    When this year’s crop of seniors were freshmen, they played a junior varsity tournament title game with just 10 players against a team of 23 in Sandwich. Despite being shorthanded, Nauset’s JV team won that game, and their hard-striving underdog mentality has endured.

    “That game built a lot of character,” Boucher said. “It showed us who you want to be as role models to the sophomores and freshmen.”

    The Warriors have now skated to a 13-7-1 record with a matchup against 4th-seeded Lynnfield in the Round of 16 that, at press time, was scheduled for Wednesday, March 9 at 5:15 p.m. at McVann-O’Keefe Rink in Peabody.

    Girls Hockey, Boys Basketball Defeated

    After the boys hockey triumph on Saturday, the Cape Cod Furies skated to a 1-0 loss against Reading in the first round of the Division I girls hockey state tournament. The Furies let Reading score a goal in the first period after a defensive mistake and couldn’t find a way to tie it for the rest of the game.

    Sophomore goalkeeper Olivia Avellar played a great game in net despite giving up the only goal of the game. Eighth-grader Gaby Basset managed to get the best chances at scoring but came up empty as Reading’s keeper also played well.

    The Furies didn’t get their first playoff win in program history, but they’re a young team with a promising future ahead.

    The Nauset boys basketball team lost to Malden Catholic Friday night by a score of 85-36. The Lancers are the number-one team in the state’s Division II and the favorites to win the state tournament.

    After beating Westwood by two points in the first round, the 33rd-seeded Warriors were looking to stage a huge upset in Malden. But Nauset had no answer for Malden Catholic’s tough defense and the athleticism of 6’7” junior Jahmari Hamilton-Brown.

    Brown, who already has an offer to play basketball at Division I Providence College, got it done on both ends of the floor in the first half and led Malden Catholic to a 44-8 lead at halftime.

    It was a great season for Nauset, said Coach John McCarthy. The team graduates nine seniors this year. He says he is optimistic about the future because this year’s junior varsity team posted a 12-3 record and the freshmen team went 12-1.

    Three Nauset Teams Push for Playoff Run

    Boys basketball, boys hockey, and girls hockey have deep ambitions

    By

    EASTHAM — “They’re confident, determined, and focused.”

    That’s how Jake Pickard, interim head coach of the Nauset boys ice hockey team, described his skaters as they prepared for a first-round matchup in the Division III state tournament.

    The 13th-seeded Nauset Warriors will play the 20th-seeded North Middlesex Patriots at Charles Moore Arena on Saturday, March 5 at 5 p.m.

    It’s been a tough end of the season. As the Independent reported on Feb. 17, Head Coach Drew Locke was fired on Feb. 10 after being accused of putting his hands on a student on the team. Locke denies the charge.

    Nauset High Principal Chris Ellsasser told the Independent on Feb. 21, “Because it’s a personnel matter, the school is not in a position to talk about it. We have a responsibility to protect people’s privacy.”

    The mother of the student involved in the alleged incident sent a text to a reporter on the same day, saying, “No comment. Thanks.”

    Last week, attorney Bruce Bierhans, who represents Locke, said he had formally requested Locke’s personnel file as well as documents from the school’s investigation into the alleged incident.

    As of Monday, Feb. 28, Bierhans said counsel for the school had acknowledged his request but he had not received any materials.

    “For me, it’s been about keeping calm through rough tides,” said Pickard, who served as Locke’s assistant. “It’s been tough. I really appreciated Coach Drew and everything he’s put into this program.”

    But the team kept its focus on the ice. The Warriors finished their season with three straight wins, beating Blue Hills Regional Tech 11-0 on Feb. 16, St. John Paul II 3-2 on Feb. 19, and Plymouth South 3-2 on Feb. 22. The team’s final record is 12-7-1 after finishing 3-8-1 last season.

    “We’ve had to regroup, refocus, and keep our eyes on the prize,” said Pickard. “Our main objective is to go to the Garden, and everybody’s bought into that goal. Their work ethic is second to none.”

    The Patriots come to Orleans as underdogs after finishing 10-7-1. Nauset is the stronger scoring team. The Patriots scored only 48 goals this season, while Nauset put 75 pucks in net.

    Furies to Play Reading

    After the boys game, the Cape Cod Furies will take the ice to play the Reading Memorial Rockets at 7 p.m. in the first round of the Division I State Tournament. The Furies are seeded 8th while the Rockets are 25th. There are 32 teams playing.

    The game is a big one, as the girls hockey program looks for its first playoff win. The Furies were a combined 11 wins and 58 losses from 2015 through 2019. But in the 2019-20 season, the team posted an 8-8-5 record and reached the state tournament for the first time. They lost 4-0 to Woburn. After finishing 3-5-5 last year, the Furies hired Connor Brickley, a former NHL player, as their new head coach and the turnaround happened fast.

    After finishing 13-4-3 this year, the team is back in the state tournament and looking to make history.

    Warriors Beat Westwood

    The Nauset boys basketball team will travel to Malden Catholic on Friday night for a game in the Round of 32 of the Division II State Tournament. The 33rd-seeded Warriors held on to beat 32nd-seeded Westwood in the first round on Tuesday night, 56-54.

    The team started off strong, but Westwood closed the gap and led by four at the half. At the end of a back-and-forth second half, Nauset found itself up two points with just over 10 seconds left. Westwood had the ball but missed three shots in 10 seconds as the Warriors defense prevailed.

    Malden Catholic will be a tough opponent in the second round; the Lancers are the number-one seed in the tournament after going 17-2 in the regular season.

    Hockey Teams Drop Two Games to Sandwich

    A weekly preview of Nauset High sports

    By

    ORLEANS — Sandwich has had Nauset High’s number on the ice this season.

    There were just a few minutes remaining in regulation in the Nauset boys ice hockey game against Sandwich on Jan. 26. Warriors junior Dan Deering scored with 6:55 left to make it a 2-2 game that could have been headed for overtime.

    But with four minutes left Sandwich put another shot in the net to hand Nauset its fourth loss of the season, 3-2.

    It was a tough loss for the Warriors, who had dropped a previous game to Sandwich, 4-3. But the team still had a creditable 8-4 record as of Tuesday, with eight regular season games left.

    On the same day, the Cape Cod Furies girls ice hockey team suffered its second loss of the season, 6-1, to Sandwich. The team’s first loss also came against Sandwich earlier in January.

    The Nauset boys basketball team improved to 7-2 with a big 54-44 win over Falmouth on Jan. 28. Senior Keleb Daniels Julien scored a team-high 15 points in the win.

    The team has strung together some impressive wins this year, including a 54-49 victory over Plymouth North two days before the Falmouth game, and back-to-back wins over Wareham.

    Next up for Nauset is its first matchup of the season against Barnstable on Feb. 4. Two previously scheduled games against Barnstable were postponed. After traveling to Barnstable, the Warriors play a rematch against Cape Cod Academy on Feb. 7.
