Fishermen, 1-1. all season, we've been in every game. Swampscott we had a goal called back, they would have been the champions. missed a PK in the first half. that's kinda the way our season has been, missed three penalties. 3-5-7, +1 goal differential. 3-6-9, -2. we've been competitive in every game, we've tied a lot of teams that are going to the tournament. taken a lot of teams to the brink. results haven't gone our way.

With nothing to play for but pride, the Fishermen (3-6-9 overall, 3-5-7 in the NEC) saved one of their finest performances of the season for the last game. Most impressively, Gloucester was down 2-0 on the road in the second half before making its comeback. 

The Gloucester field hockey team finished the first half of the season on a high note with a 4-0 victory over rival Danvers. Kat LaCroix and Olivia Frontiero had a goal and an assist each for Gloucester (6-2-1). Alisha Clayton added the other Fishermen goal and Marissa Drozd had an assist.
