Coming off an exciting 6-0 victory at home on Thursday against the Sturgis West Navigators in their senior game, the Whalers traveled to West Bridgewater on Friday and hosted the Wildcats Sunday morning in a mini home and home regular season series.

Nantucket lost 2-0 on Friday but bounced back on Sunday with a 2-1 victory against one of the stronger teams in Division 4. The Whalers have now won three of their last four games and are 4-7-2 this season.

The Whaler's goals came off the sticks of senior captain Evie Phelps and junior Rowan Paul. Head coach Dan Weber said he was happy for his team to earn the victory against a good team. It was only the Wildcat's second loss of the season as they are now 12-2-1 and currently the #8 seed in Division 4.
