The Souhegan Sabers were represented by captain Hannah Parrott, Elizabeth Purvis, Sean Corrigan, Jake Upton and alternates Brian Heaney and Sarah Eastland. The team was coached by Dave Jasinski and Tony Doucet. “We are very proud of the growth our students have shown,” said Souhegan coach Tony Doucet. “This was the first year that our team finished in the top 14 of the Super Sunday Qualifying event, and we are extremely proud of them for that.”

Fall Mountain now advances to the second round of GRANITE STATE CHALLENGE.
