The Frontier field hockey squad’s state tournament run came to a close on Friday.
The No. 8 Redhawks went on the road to take on No. 1 Uxbridge in the MIAA Div. 4 quarterfinals, but were unable to pull off the upset against the top team in the division, falling 5-0.
Frontier’s season comes to a close, though one coach Missy Mahar says was a successful one as the Redhawks won the Western Mass. Class C championship as well as winning two state tournament games.
“The girls played hard for the entire 60 minutes and left everything on the field,” Mahar said. “I told them not to let this game define their season and to remind themselves that they were one of eight teams left playing in Div. 4. The girls had a remarkable season in which they should hold their heads high and be proud of.”
Ella Flanders made 15 saves in the loss.
