CONWAY — For the fourth time in five years the Kennett High field hockey team is back in the Final Four. The Eagles, the No. 1 seeds and the only undefeated team out of 54 schools in New Hampshire, punched their ticket to the Division II semifinals with a 3-2 win over No. 9 Goffstown on Saturday afternoon before a huge crowd at Centola Field.
“The girls played really well,” Cassandra Daley, Eagles’ head coach, said. “Credit to Goffstown. The came out ready to play and really challenged us.”
