Mass Pitch Staff ·
Concord-Carlisle had allowed one goal all season and had not lost. On Saturday, Winchester found the second — and the only one that mattered.
The Sachems won 1-0 in Concord, ending a 7-0 Patriots start that had featured a 5-0 statement over Hopkinton only days earlier. It was that kind of weekend across Massachusetts: a few perfect records cracked, several more held firm, and the slate from Friday through Saturday ran from the Berkshires to the Cape with no Sunday varsity results posted.
