WAKEFIELD — This was a little more like it.
The Wakefield Memorial High field hockey team played one of its better games of the season and posted a 6-3 triumph over Burlington yesterday afternoon at Beasley Field.
The Warriors increased their record to 4-4 overall and 3-4 in the Middlesex League Freedom division.
Offensively, Wakefield had some solid production from its lineup. Senior Jill Cataldo scored three goals and had three assists, while senior Julianne Bourque notched two goals and had two assists. Vanessa Kaddaras, a sophomore, scored the sixth goal.
In goalie, junior Molly Leach made three saves.
“Offensively we played well today. (The) Midfield line had nice transitions up to (the) forward line. Meg Horrigan, at center midfield was able to push the ball up to Jill Cataldo who would carry the ball up the sideline going in and out of Burlington’s defense for shots on net,” said Coach Cara Luca. “Julianne Bourque was also moving the ball in and out of Burlington’s defense to pass or shoot on net. We needed this win today. This is what I have been waiting for. I know how much potential my offense has and today they showed it.
“We have Watertown on Wednesday. We need all the fans possible to come cheer on their Warriors,” added Luca. “If we play like we did today I feel confident that we can be successful.”
Wakefield hosts the Red Raiders tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 p.m. at Beasley Field.
