SAUGUS — The Wakefield High girls hockey team picked up a crucial win and a big upset with a 3-2 victory over Woburn, the top-ranked team in the state, last night at the Kasabuski Arena.
“It was a real nice win. The kids worked hard all night long and that’s what helped us through. They never let up. They played hard and we’ve told them that if they play hard, good things will happen,” praised Wakefield coach Jack Foley.
Indeed, the home team came out breathing veritable fire. Colleen Doucette and Gabby Moscato wasted little time with shots on goal. Woburn finally managed some shots on goal but Wakefield continued to dominate most of the period.
