Andover's Megan Keefe had a hat trick on a day when Westford Academy was still looking rusty after the effects of last week's storm.
The Warriors Field Hockey team took down Westford, 3-0, Friday night following a week of power outages that surely affected team preparations. But the Golden Warriors pressed hard halfway through the opening 30 minutes, as Megan Keefe tapped one home in the 11th minute, followed by another just before the half. Keefe finished off the hat trick five minutes after the half, but the Grey Ghosts seemed like they would get on the board as momentum turned in the home stretch, but ultimately Westford couldn’t capitalize on the swing. From here, Andover will seek to continue their undefeated season on Sunday afternoon at home against Lincoln-Sudbury, a contest that Andover coach Maureen Noone isn’t looking past by any means. “We just have to go …

Coming off an undefeated, State-Championship season, Andover field hockey has outscored its opponents 22-0 through four games this season.
Someone would have to search back an entire calendar year to find the last time the Andover High School field hockey team lost a game. The Warriors went 24-0 last season to capture the Division 1 state title over Algonquin, and have started the 2011 season 4-0. The latest win in the series came against Manchester-Essex at home on Wednesday night, 5-0. Less than two-minutes into the game, Andover’s Meagan Keefe took a pass from Jacklyn Torres and slid home the first goal to put the Warriors up 1-0. Then it was like the field was tilted toward the Hornets goal. Andover began to put the pressure on the M-E defenders, who could not manage to get the ball past midfield. Keefe struck again 4:55 into the first half, after trading swipes with …
