January 20, the varsity girls’ ice hockey team drove all the way into Waltham to face the Waltham team after three consecutive wins against Wayland, CC and Newton-South.

“We have a lot of confidence going into this match,” sophomore Steph Arno said. “We know how Waltham plays and we have a good strategy and mindset going into it.”

The game started off strong with WA challenging the Waltham offense. Arno and senior Hannah Grisichuck had four shots on net combined.

Second period rolled in with Waltham showing who was boss. Right away Waltham was on the Ghost’s defense but despite strong defensive efforts from sophomore Katie Lowe and senior Lauren Brett , Waltham’s Michelle Hinley was able to blast the puck past Socolow assisted by fellow teammate Annabelle Rogers.

The third and final period rolled in with WA trying to get the puck past Waltham’s stacked defense, but despite tied efforts from everyone on the rink, Hinley was able to get another assist off of Annie Gagnon with 54 seconds left in the match leaving the Ghost’s with a 2-0 loss overall.

“Yeah, losing was disappointing but we learned how to play against them [for] next time and we know what to work on. It was a good match and we had fun,” said freshman Jen Grisichuck.
