Looking to bounce back from a road loss and build off of their defense, they came out aggressive in the early going. The game plan to get the ball inside to their captain senior Mairead St. Clair (6 pts., 8 rebounds and 3 blocks) and play an in-and-out game worked to a 12-8 first quarter advantage. In the second quarter, Northeast applied more pressure, but the Eagles moved the ball well enough to take a 17-8 edge midway through. The Knights countered and brought the game back within one possession as the halftime horn sounded, 17-15 Mystic Valley.

The Eagles were slowed down by Northeast’s pressure half-court defense and could not find early rhythm in the quarter. Northeast took to the glass and made more plays than Mystic, edging them 13-5. Mystic – in some foul trouble – looked to their bench for some of the fourth and got production from senior Darnelle Felisier (2 pts., 1 steal) and junior Jojo Tu (3 pts., 1 assist). “There still is a lot of work to be done for this team being early in the season and coming off a missed year. So far, the girls have been great opening up games and executing the game plan to our advantage. It’s sustaining that play for 32 full minutes and not going away from things that work because the other team makes adjustments,” Head Coach Jonathan Currier said. Hockey Eagles split two versus Medford, East Boston The Eagles coop hockey team kept scoreboard operators busy in their two games this week, allowing 11 goals in defeat before exploding for 17 to clinch their first victory of the young season.
