Notching an incredible eleven shutouts—get out of town, but co-captain Katie Shields did it. Expectations can be deceiving. Highlighted by such outstanding performances, the Crimson surprised a lot of observers who did not know where to place the team in the preseason...

The twins, local products who attended Groton-Dunstable and played on the team there together, had played soccer and left their mark on the field together at a number of levels. Their careers reached a climax with the Crimson, as both became mainstays and impact players by the end of their four seasons. Nicholas finished this season second on the team with 13 points and three goals, while Anthony registered seven points (three goals, one assist). Nicholas was named...
