From youth fields to a CIAC title push, Ludlowe field hockey ready for next step
Ludlowe has not reached a CIAC final since 1977, but has a solid nucleus and is primed to make a run.
Ludlowe field hockey players Coco Biggs, Georgia Pecknold and Lily McClay are ready for a CIAC title push after a playoff loss to Staples last season. The Wreckers lost 2-1 in regulation and two overtime periods after a 1-1 draw. This loss motivated the team, as they believe they deserve a championship and are capable of achieving it.
The Falcons won 6 games in their season, with an overtime loss to Staples. Ludlowe is the top-ranked team in CIAC Class L, with no state titles since 1977. Laura McClay, Lily's mother and head coach, has been involved with the youth program since Lily was in fourth grade. She brought five current seniors up as freshmen and gave them significant playing time.
The seniors have been rewarded with playing time, and their progress is evident. The team's success can be attributed to the hard work and dedication of the players, who are all top-ranked and have earned various awards.
