Tuesday’s high school roundup/scores: Watertown claims 96th straight victory, makes state final
Kaylee Master scored three goals and teammate Rachel Egan added a pair as No. 2 Watertown (21-0) advanced to its fourth straight Div. 3 field hockey state championship game with a 5-0 win over sixth-seeded Dennis-Yarmouth.
Watertown will face top-seeded Sandwich (24-0), which received a pair of goals from Khloe Schultz and Quinn Jordan in a 4-0 win over No. 12 Medway. Sandwich has lost to the Raiders in each of the previous three state tournaments, set to play them in the state final for a third time in four years.
In a Div. 4 state semifinal, Aubrey Bouchard scored twice as No. 1 Uxbridge (20-2) defeated fourth-seeded Frontier Regional, 5-0, to get back to its fourth straight state final appearance. The three-time defending champions will play No. 2 Monomoy in the final for a second straight year.
Boys soccer
Alex DeBais scored the game’s only goal and Kai Mercer recorded the shutout as top-seeded Wakefield (18-2-1) edged No. 9 Revere 1-0 in a Div. 2 state semifinal.
Girls soccer
Leila Eccher, Peyton Keyes and Annie Comella scored as No. 2 Wellesley (17-3-1) blanked Bay State Conference rival Newton North in a Div. 1 state quarterfinal.
Clare Varano and Caroline Bligh had the goals as No. 14 Cardinal Spellman (13-5-4) defeated No. 27 North Middlesex 2-0 in a Div. 3 state quarterfinal.
Elizabeth Shoucair registered the game’s only tally as No. 3 Tahanto (14-3-4) edged sixth-seeded St. John Paul 1-0 in a Div. 5 state quarterfinal.
Volleyball
In the Div. 2 semifinals, senior Clare Kavolius led the way with 15 assists, 20 service points and four aces while senior Addyson Smock (12 kills, two blocks) and sophomore Taylor Donohue (10 kills) also contributed as No. 2 Oliver Ames (21-3) swept No. 3 Billerica 3-0.
Swimming
Hamilton Wenham named Angela Ceriello as its new head coach for boys/girls swimming and diving. Ceriello takes over for Natalie Kliss, who held the post for 10 years and stepped down after recently starting in a new job that conflicted with pool times for practices.
“We are incredibly grateful to Natalie and her assistant Claudia (Ketchum) for the years of service they gave to the student-athletes at Hamilton-Wenham,” said Hamilton-Wenham athletic director Craig Genualdo. “At the same time, we are very excited to welcome coach Ceriello onto our coaching staff. She brings a tremendous amount of knowledge and energy to the role and we know she is excited to begin.”

Ceriello comes to Hamilton-Wenham having headed up the town Parks and Recreation program in Hamilton and Wenham for the past four summers. In that role, she taught fundamentals and techniques as well as racing strategies to children from a wide range of ages.
