PHOTOS: D-S Field Hockey Sweeps Medfield in Season Series
For the second time this season, D-S shut out Medfield; winning 2-0 Friday.
Entering Friday's game, the Medfield field hockey team had just one loss in 10 Tri-Valley League games this season – a 1-0 loss to Dover-Sherborn on Sept. 27. On Friday, Medfield suffered its second TVL loss of the year, a 2-0 defeat to D-S at the MHS Turf.
"That first goal ... it was 0-0 at half ... whoever got that first goal, the other team was going to get down," said Medfield head coach Mike Mason.
"Medfield always plays aggressive so it was good to get this one," said D-S coach Dara Johnson.
