Some might question how after so many years has the team become so successful. To begin with, the season's new coach, Chris Drew, coached at North Reading for two years before coming to Haverhill in 2015. When he began, he did not know what to expect and was not familiar with Haverhill athletics. Drew encouraged the girls to believe in themselves and their successes. They practiced and worked hard day in and day out. He made sure that their was not one superstar but a united team.
Katherine Morgan, a senior forward, agrees with Coach Drew’s appraisal. “Coach made us believe we were successful, therefore, we became successful,” said Morgan. She also credits communication for the team's success.
Alexandra Comeau, a senior goalie, only added to Morgan’s focus on team unity. “Keeping the same kind of mindset of winning and not being all of over the place is always how we were when going onto the field,” said Comeau. The way these girls stayed together, united, and how they communicated with each other led them to the success they have achieved this season.
