THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 31, 2025 Page 19 Everett Crimson Tide Sports Weekly Notebook By Joe McConnell Tide field hockey remains resilient to the end T he Everett High School fi eld hockey team (5-12-1), coached by Nicola Jones, completed its season last week at home against Revere on Senior Night, Oct. 23. It wasn’t a win, but it wasn’t a loss either. The Crimson Tide was able to walk off the 7-Acres turf one last time with another point in the overall Greater Boston League standings after they played the Patriots to a hardfought 2-2 stalemate. The team’s last win was a decisive 9-0 conquest over the Golden Tornadoes under the MacDonald Stadium lights in Malden on Oct. 15. “This game was a masterclass in teamwork and offense,” said Jones. “We dominated Malden on their home turf, moving the ball seamlessly as a unit, while showcasing excellent passing that created numerous scoring opportunities. It was defi nitely an electrifying win.” Highlighting this win was the fact that several Everett players had the opportunity to celebrate their fi rst goals of the season. Ivey Walker led the way with a hat trick and an assist. Stéphano Orleus was next in line with two goals. Lindsey Sylva and Spencer Racine each chipped in with a goal and an assist. Anahya Sunsin and Paula Castillo netted their fi rst goals of the season. Sunsin was also credited with “a fantastic assist,” said Jones. “That assist highlighted the team’s strong collective eff ort against Malden,” she added. The Tide then came home to 7-Acres two days later to face non-league Haverhill, where they ended up losing, 3-0. But the eff ort was still there, according to the Everett coach. “Despite the setback, their eff ort and determination remained unwavering,” she said. Orleus stood out once again for the home team, while showing fi erce competitiveness. “(Orleus) left everything out on the field, and also demonstrated the team’s heart,” Jones said. “Our (continued) resilience was on display against a tough opponent.” The Tide began the final week of the regular season at home against non-league Saugus on Oct. 20, and by game’s end it was the team’s second straight 3-0 loss. “ This was a frustrating game,” said Jones. “Despite more incredible eff orts from Orleus at midfi eld and remarkable saves by goalies Wilins Julen and Isadora Da Silveira, who split the chores in net, we still came up short.” Volleyball seniors honored before GBL finale T he volleyball team (3-17) honored its seven seniors on this year’s team, before last Wednesday night’s (Oct. 22) game against Malden at the EHS gym. “The stands were packed, and we fed off that energy quite well, but still lost a competitive match, 3-1,” said coach Mike Fineran. “All seven seniors were in the starting lineup, led by assistant captain Amanda Verteiro, who was our libero in this match. She had an ace, while serving 12 times. In her three-year varsity career, she was credited with 264 serves and 56 aces.” Captain Nicole Damaceno was perfect from the service line against the Golden Tornadoes, hitting on all 16 attempts. She fi nished her varsity career with 500 serves in three years. “Nicole is such a good role model on and off the court for her younger teammates,” said Fineran. “We will defi nitely miss her steady leadership.” A Complete Continuum of Care Assistant captain Juliette Romboli had three aces and five kills in the team’s final GBL home match of the year. She fi nished the season with a team-high 47 aces and 124 kills, and wrapped up her scholastic career with 200 kills. “That kind of fi repower will be hard to replace,” said Fineran on Romboli’s off ensive dominance throughout her varsity career. Lindsey Cherichel-Paul was 10-for-10 in serves against Malden, while also chipping in with a kill and a block. She led the team this year in blocks with 18. Teammate Aya Selimovic was second with 12. Leliani Ros Morales collected two blocks against Malden, while serving nine times that included two aces. Shaeendra Hall helped out with two aces and six kills. “These (seniors) have a lot to be proud of, because of the way they kept everyone focused and loose this season,” said Fineran. “We did not get the results we wanted this year, but we kept fi ghting to the end. We played some of our most competitive volleyball in the last two weeks of the season.” The Everett girls hosted non-league Lowell last Thursday (Oct. 23) to offi cially complete the regular season, but the Red Raiders unfortunately spoiled the fi nale with a 3-0 victory. Girls’ soccer playing better, having fun as the season winds down D espite getting shutout by visiting Medford last Thursday (Oct. 23) on the Rivergreen pitch, 5-0, the girls’ soccer team (5-9-2) still turned in “a strong showing,” according to coach Dom Persuitte. “The girls played well, and SPORTS | SEE PAGE 25 Because Your Family Deserves Support at Every Stage.
