The final two brackets for the MIAA post season were released this afternoon. Girls and boys soccer were the last two sports to get their postseason opponents.
Boys soccer will be the 3rd seed in the Div II bracket and take on the winner of Woburn Memorial (30) and North High (35). The Harbormen finished with a 17-1 record and won the Patriot League Keenan Division title. Head Coach Ken Carlin, who announced his retirement at the beginning of the season, will be coaching his 500th game for the first round playoff game, which will be on Sunday at 5:00pm on the High School turf.
Girls soccer is the 8th seed in the Div II tournament and will be hosting Patriot League rival Silver Lake Regional (25) in the round of 32. The defending Div I champions are looking to capture another title this year. The girls finished up with a 9-6-3 record. The girls will kick off a doubleheader on Sunday at 2:45pm on the turf.
Hingham football made the cut as the 13th seed in Div III and will be heading to Walpole (4) on Friday night for a 6pm kick-off. The Harbormen finished the season with a 3-2 record after dropping the first three games of the season to very tough competition.
Girls Volleyball kick of their playoffs tomorrow night at 6pm in Dartmouth (9) as the 24th seed. The Harborwomen finished off their 9-9 season with a win in Scituate last week and look to carry momentum into the Div II playoffs.
Field hockey, who arguable is the hottest Hingham team currently, opens the tournament as a 4th seed will play the first three rounds at home starting on Friday afternoon at 4pm vs Silver Lake Regional (29). The Harborwomen ended with a 15-2-1 record and is riding an eight game winning streak scoring 47 goals and only allowing 1.
Finally, Hingham boys golf finished up their post season yesterday with a 5th place finish in the Div I State Tournament. Senior captain Carson Erick tied for 3rd place with a 75 in the individual tournament. Congrats to the entire team on an amazing season.
