Game notes:

Strong Season Opener for the Big Red

In the season opener against Belmont Hill, the SPS boys basketball team looked in mid-season form. The defense was focused, the ball-movement was sharp, and the energy was high. Though Belmont Hill led the game 5-4 in the early going, St. Paul’s quickly regained the lead and never gave it up for the rest of the game. The Big Red built the lead to as much as 14 points in the first half, but Belmont Hill did not give up, and cut the lead to 6 with 1 minute to play. In the final minute of the half, the Big Red’s maturity shined. Logan Carey got to the free throw line and made both, the Big Red got a defensive stop—and Luke Newhall followed a defensive rebound with an offensive rebound, ultimately getting the ball back to Carey who drove for a layup, stretching the lead to 10 as time expired. In the second half, Belmont Hill came out firing and cut the SPS lead all the way down to 2. At this point, Luke Newhall deflected a rebound to Savion Stroud who made a layup. Stroud quickly followed this with 3 baskets and 2 assists, Logan Carey added a few driving layups, and with a Matt Lamy three-pointer, the game was over. In the win, Logan Carey finished with 26 points, Matt Lamy added 12, Savion Stroud filled the stat sheet with 11 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists, Sam Andreottola added 9 points and 6 rebounds, and Landon Clark played a well-rounded first game in a Big Red uniform including 10 points.

Big Red Hoopsters Topple Noble and Greenough

The Big Red scored another home victory to open the season at 2-0. Just like in the prior game against Belmont Hill, Nobles took a 5-4 lead early, but once SPS retook the lead, Nobles never got it back. St. Paul’s built the lead into double digits in the first half, ultimately going into the intermission up 7. For the better part of the second half, Nobles fought and scrapped to successfully keep the deficit in single digits. Then, after the midway point of the second frame, St. Paul’s caught fire, with Landon Clark and Luke Newhall knocking down threes to extend the lead—ultimately driving it to 16 at the finish. In the win, Luke Newhall led the Pelicans with 18 points and 9 rebounds, Landon Clark filled the stat sheet with 13 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists, Logan Carey added 12 points and 7 rebounds, and Sam Andreottola finished with 11 points.

Big Red Falls by One to Thayer

SPS traveled to Thayer Academy for our first road game of the season and came up 1 point short. The Big Red took control early, building a 22-11 lead. At this point, Thayer turned up its defensive pressure and hit a few threes—finishing the half strong and going into the intermission up 29-24. St. Paul’s claimed the lead briefly in the second half, and we gave ourselves a shot to win it after a steal, but just couldn’t finish. In the loss, Logan Carey finished with 19 points and 8 rebounds, Landon Clark had 11 points and 9 rebounds, and Sam Andreottola had 11 points and 5 rebounds.

Wild Boars Too Much for Big Red on the Day

With less than 24 hours of rest, St. Paul’s took the court against a Choate team and struggled to keep up. Choate was tenacious on the offensive glass and hot from behind the three-point line, and the Big Red could never cut into Choate’s lead. In the loss, Logan Carey scored 14 points, and Savion Stroud and Landon Clark both had 10.

Big Red Opens 2023 With Victory Over KUA

The Big Red boys basketball team opened 2023 with a great team victory over a strong NEPSAC AA squad in Kimball Union Academy. St. Paul’s was down as many as 8 points in the first half, and went into the break down 3. The second half was a different story, as the Big Red came out firing, turning a 22-25 deficit into a 30-25 lead and never looking back. KUA cut the lead to 1 point on numerous occasions, but as the game entered its final minutes, Logan Carey gave Sam Andreottola a beautiful assist for a layup, and Luke Newhall followed with a driving pass to Landon Clark, who knocked down a 3-pointer. The Big Red should be commended for assisting on 80% of their buckets! In the win, Logan Carey had 16 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists. Sam Andreottola had 17 points and 7 rebounds. And Savion Stroud added 12 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists.

Big Red Wins on the Road

What a road win for the Big Red, taking down Tilton’s NEPSAC AA squad in decisive fashion! The St. Paul’s team never once trailed in this game, shooting the ball well and smothering Tilton on defense, ultimately building a lead of as many as 22 in the second half, which Tilton chipped away at in the final minutes with some full court pressure. Logan Carey had a terrific game, scoring 30 points on only 10 shots! Luke Newhall added 17 points and 6 rebounds. Savion Stroud played a great all-around game—as usual—finishing with 11 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 steals.

Big Red Loses to Nationally-Ranked Opponent

The Big Red traveled to Wolfeboro and were met by an impressively talented and athletic Brewster Prep squad. Thanks to early 3-pointers from Sam Andreottola, the game remained tied through the first 8 minutes, and SPS was only down 6 points with 5 minutes left in the half. At this point, the stifling defense of Brewster and their offensive firepower tired out the St. Paul’s team, and Brewster went into the half up 18. Unfortunately it was more of the same in the second period as Brewster earned the victory. The Big Red should still be commended for their fight—never giving up and using the opportunity to compete against a nationally-ranked opponent as a means to get better. In the loss, Sam Andreottola scored 13 points, Luke Newhall added 10, Logan Carey had 9, and Landon Clark scored 7.

SPS Gets Back on the Right Track

Less than 18 hours after the loss to Brewster, St. Paul’s got back on the right track with a win over Austin Prep. The first half was back and forth throughout, with Austin Prep shooting well from the 3-point line and scrambling for loose balls, resulting in a 33-30 halftime lead for SPS. In the second half, St. Paul’s attack the paint with tenacity and picked up the pace in transition, leading to a 50-point period in which the lead ballooned all the way to 30 points. SPS should be proud of turning on the gas against a talented, scrappy team on day 2 of a back to back. In the win, Logan Carey finished with 25 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 assists, Landon Clark added 16 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists, Sam Andreottola added 11 points and 7 rebounds, and Luke Newhall added 10 points. Once again Savion Stroud filled the stat sheet with 9 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists.

Big Red Weathers the Storm to Seal a Victory

St. Paul’s traveled to Holderness on Wednesday and faced a hot-shooting Holderness team. The Bulls made 13 threes over the course of the game, but the Big Red was able to weather the storm time and again. The first half went back and forth throughout, with St. Paul’s beginning to pull away at the end of the half, taking a 40-32 lead into the intermission. After the break, St. Paul’s built the lead up to 14 points, but Holderness’s 3-point shooting struck again, and they fought all the way back to take a 2-point lead themselves. And then the Big Red put the clamps on to end the game! St. Paul’s held Holderness scoreless over the last 3:23 of the game, and a pull-up jumper from Savion Stroud sealed the victory. In the win, Logan Carey had another terrific game with 31 points and 11 rebounds. Sam Andreottola added 14 points and 5 rebounds. Savion Stroud added 13 points. And Landon Clark registered another selfless effort with 10 points and 7 assists.

Big Red Tops Loomis Pelicans

St. Paul’s hosted Loomis on Saturday for a Pelican vs. Pelican matchup with Class A playoff implications on the line. Though Loomis led the game early at 7-2, the Big Red never let Loomis get off the bus, quickly regaining the lead and building a 6-point margin at the half. The second half was more of the same: stifling defense from the home team and flashes of cohesive offense to maintain the lead throughout the period. Clutch free throws and offensive patience finished off Loomis down the stretch. In the victory, Logan Carey registered a monumental individual night, scoring his 1000th high school point. On top of this Carey scored 23 points and added 4 assists. Next up for the Big Red was Sam Andreottola with 13 points and 6 rebounds. Landon Clark finished with 9 points and 9 rebounds, while Savion Stroud added 6 points and 6 rebounds.

Big Red Tops Proctor Hornets

St. Paul’s traveled to Proctor on Wednesday, grabbed an early 7-5 lead against Lakes Region foe, Proctor Academy, and never trailed again. SPS even opened up an 18-5 lead in the early going thanks to consecutive 3-pointers from Logan Carey. After this, Proctor’s talented guards got into a rhythm and kept the game close at 30-26 at the half. SPS started off the second frame on fire, however, and built a double-digit lead that never fell. In the win, Logan Carey scored 29 points, while Sam Andreottola added 12, and Landon Clark added 11. Savion Stroud should be commended for his 11 rebounds!

SPS Puts on Strong Showing to Beat Exeter

St. Paul’s traveled to Phillips Exeter Academy for a Big Red vs. Big Red matchup. In this rivalry, the Big Red of Concord came out firing—building a 9-0 lead in the opening minutes thanks to stifling defense and 5 quick points from Landon Clark and 4 from Logan Carey. The Big Red of Exeter did not give up, however, turning the tide quickly and ultimately taking their own 5 point lead late in the first half. Sam Andreottola hit a deep three-pointer as the half-time buzzer expired to narrow the lead to 2 points. The game remained tight for the first 6 minutes of the second half, where with 10 minutes to go it was a 40-40 tie. At this point, SPS put on the clamps on defense, only allowing 13 more Exeter points, while scoring 26 of our own—and putting the game out of reach in the final minutes. In the win, Sam Andreottola led all scorers with 23 points while adding 6 rebounds. Logan Carey added 19 points, while Landon Clark scored 13, and Savion Stroud had 8 points and 6 rebounds.

Big Red Falls to New Hampton

St. Paul’s took another road trip on Wednesday to AAA power New Hampton School and could never find a rhythm. New Hampton’s length and athleticism stifled the Big Red’s offense, and New Hampton’s quickness and 3-point shooting helped them build an insurmountable lead on offense. The gap was 14 at the half, and the Big Red could never cut into it in the second half. Despite the lopsided score, the Big Red never stopped competing—and learned quite a bit about improving our defensive intensity and our ball movement. In the loss, Logan Carey scored 22 points, Landon Clark and Sam Andreottola each contributed 9, and Ryder Kurtz added 8. Luke Newhall had a strong second half and finished with 5 points and 5 rebounds.

Big Win for Big Red

St. Paul’s took the long trip to Williston on Friday night and took down the Wildcats in decisive fashion. The game was back and forth in the early going, and Williston owned a 5-4 lead, but after SPS recaptured the lead with a 3-pointer, the Big Red never trailed again. We opened up a 34-19 lead at the half, and the margin never got closer in the second half. SPS owes the victory to terrific effort on defense and on the glass, as well as consistent ball movement on offense. In the win, Logan Carey finished with 16 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 assists. Sam Andreottola added 15 points. Landon Clark had 12 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists. Savion Stroud once again filled the stat sheet with 8 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 blocks.

The Big Red Tops the Knights of BB&N

St. Paul’s hosted BB&N on Wednesday and took the lead from the tip-off thanks to solid defense and effective scoring on the fast break. The lead stayed right around 10 points throughout the first half, with the Big Red heading into half-time up 8. Within the first 5 minutes of the second half, St. Paul’s took complete control of the game, playing stifling defense and aggressive offense—and getting the lead above 20 and keeping it there. The win was a wonderful team effort, one in which every Big Red player scored and made meaningful contributions. Statistically, Matt Lamy led the charge with 13 points and 5 rebounds, Sam Andreottola followed up with 12 points, Savion Stroud added 8 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists, Ryder Kurtz recorded 6 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists, and Logan Carey added 6 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists.

Rams Ram Big Red

St. Paul’s traveled north to Tilton School on Friday for a 5:00 PM game against the Rams of Tilton. The Big Red came out with energy and structure, moving the ball well and defending with structure to take a lead in the early minutes. As the first half continued, the Big Red energy waned and structure began to dissolve, leading to short offensive possessions and odd-numbered counter attacks for the Rams. The Big Red went into the break down and determined to mount a counter offensive of their own in the second half. Unfortunately, the Rams withstood the early efforts from SPS and the second half went much the same as the first. Final score: Tilton 55 SPS 37.

St. Paul’s will travel south to Thayer Academy on Saturday afternoon.

Thayer Tops Big Red

St. Paul’s traveled to the metropolitan Thayer Academy campus on Saturday afternoon to take on the Tigers. After a traffic-ridden bus ride, St. Paul’s had a stop and go start to the game, getting the ball into the interior of the Tiger defense but consistently struggling to convert these close looks into points. After the first half, the Big Red were in a 23-point hole and looking to chip away at the Thayer lead.

Determined to mount a comeback and build some momentum, St. Paul’s came out in the second half emphasizing strong defensive possessions and continuing to penetrate the Tiger defense. The Big Red found more interior looks in the second half and was able to achieve a higher conversion rate, bouncing out to their highest scoring half of the season. Unfortunately, the first half deficit proved insurmountable and St. Paul’s headed north with the loss. Final score: Thayer 52 St. Paul’s 25.

St. Paul’s will have their first home game on Wednesday against Austin Prep at 3:30.

SPS Drops Game to Austin Prep

St. Paul’s welcome Austin Prep to Concord on Wednesday afternoon for the Big Red’s first home game of the season. After a few unfortunate early results, St. Paul’s was eager to crack into the win column. Despite the clear forecast, Austin Prep brough a flurry of defense north with them, utilizing full court pressure to create discomfort amongst the Big Red. St. Paul’s struggled to crack this pressure and had several early turnovers which led to easy transition baskets for Austin Prep. The first half was a sprint up and down the court for both teams as they combined for 60 points, and St. Paul’s went into the break trailing.

The second half was significantly slower than the first as both teams made halftime adjustments. St. Paul’s went into a zone on defense and began to have stronger offensive possessions. These adjustments created higher quality scoring opportunities for the Big Red but were ultimately unable to change the result. Final score: Austin Prep 57 SPS 32

St. Paul’s will head into the winter break to get some rest and reset before returning in January.

JVB Basketball Beats Proctor

The Boys JV Basketball team was on their home court for two games on Wednesday afternoon, hosting Proctor and New Hampton. The Big Red came out inspired in game one, using an energetic 2-3 zone and unselfish ball movement to take a 19 point lead into the halftime break. These trends continued in the second half and St. Paul’s emerged with their first victory of the year.

In game two, the Big Red rode the momentum from game one. While a different roster, the themes were the same as St. Paul’s utilized effective zone pressure to force the Huskies into poor shots and adeptly secured rebounds, leading to transition opportunities on offense and a consistent double digit lead.

The Big Red will travel to New Hampton on Saturday afternoon for a 3:30 start.

Big Red Holds on for Second Straight

St. Paul’s traveled north to New Hampton School on Saturday afternoon to face the Huskies. The Big Red were coming off their first win of the year and looking to build some momentum in 2023. SPS was disciplined and committed from the opening tip, utilizing an unselfish offensive approach to take an early double digit lead over New Hampton and into the halftime break.

The Huskies came out firing in the second half, eventually reducing the Big Red lead to three points. Although inconsistent from the free throw line in the final minute, St. Paul’s knocked down just enough to keep the Huskies at bay. Final score: SPS 37 NHS 33

Big Red Unable to Tame KUA Wildcats

St. Paul’s welcome the Wildcats of Kimball Union to the grounds on Wednesday afternoon for a JV Basketball skirmish. Both teams opened the game seasonably cold on the respective offensive ends and early points were at a premium. At the half, KUA led 13-9.

St. Paul’s emerged from the halftime huddle with a new defensive gameplan and understanding of their offensive focus. A renewed commitment to creating interior offensive opportunities led the Big Red to accumulate several simple baskets and briefly put a leash on the Wildcats. Unfortunately, KUA responded with several strong possessions, including two consecutive three-pointers, which gave them a ten-point lead. Although, the Big Red battled back and utilized full court pressure to bring the game close, they were ultimately unable to get within the five-point final deficit. Final score KUA 37 SPS 32

Big Red Sweeps Season Series

St. Paul’s welcomed the Huskies of New Hampton to the grounds on Saturday afternoon for the second game in their season series. After a four-point victory the previous week, the Big Red were looking to complete the series sweep. This game opened tighter than the one prior and both teams traded baskets throughout the first half. Eventually, the Big Red were able to string a few baskets together and took a nine point lead into intermission.

In the second half, St. Paul’s returned to their aggressive offensive approach and continued to stimy the Huskie offense with a swarming zone defense. The New Hampton sharpshooters found their range as the second half dwindled away, however, and shortened the deficit to only three with seconds remaining. Thankfully, the Big Red converted a free throw attempt and stole the final inbounds pass to preserve the victory. Final score: SPS 45 NHS 41.

St. Paul’s will travel to Proctor on Wednesday @ 2:30 PM.

Hornets Sting Big Red

St. Paul’s travelled to Andover on Wednesday afternoon to take on the Hornets of Proctor. The Big Red took a quick early lead but Proctor buzzed back to hold a consistent eight-point lead through much of the first half. Coming out of halftime, St. Paul’s moved from a zone to matchup defense and briefly clawed back a few possessions to limit the Hornet lead. Unfortunately, however, the Big Red were unable to possess the ball consistently and turned the ball over too frequently to bring the game close.

Big Red Take the Zebras’ Stripes

St. Paul’s hosted Groton School on Friday evening for what promised to be a hotly contested matchup. The Big Red were a disciplined lot on both ends to open the game, prioritizing quality offensive looks and limiting the Zebra opportunities to jump out to an early lead. Despite a nine-point halftime lead, St. Paul’s knew they could not afford complacency. The Zebras mounted a second half comeback, cutting the St. Paul’s lead to just four. Luckily for the Big Red, timely three-pointers from ’25 Josh Samuels and ’26 Dave Osunde combined with clutch free throw shooting from co-captain ’24 Jacob Kwon to secure the St. Paul’s victory.

Red vs Red: Battle of the Bigs

St. Paul’s traveled to Exeter, NH on Wednesday afternoon for a JVBB matchup against the undefeated Philips Exeter Academy. SPS came out firing and silenced a crowded gym, jumping out to a 12-4 lead. Exeter weathered the Big Red storm, however, and converted several long range attempts to take a two-point lead into halftime.

St. Paul’s stayed true to their gameplan in the second half and continued to convert looks inside the paint. Exeter remained similarly committed to their three-point approach and, unfortunately, continued to find success from beyond the arc. Ultimately, Exeter continued their undefeated season. Final score PEA 62 SPS 53

St. Paul’s was led in scoring by ’24 Brandon Cho, with a season high of 17 points. ’25 Josh Samuels added 11 points and co-captain ’23 Ben Thompson contributed a season high 8 points. ’23 Harlem Taylor led the squadron with 7 rebounds.

Composed Big Red Cage Bobcats

St. Paul’s traveled to Brewster Academy on Wednesday afternoon for a JVBB game against the Bobcats. Coming off a long weekend, it was not immediately clear if the Big Red were prepared for live competition as they fell behind early amid some defensive struggles. St. Paul’s proved resilient, however, in identifying and solving the communication and help-side defensive principles that were allowing easy Bobcat buckets and began moving the ball and attacking the rim on the offensive end. A run to end the half, aided by the addition of some free points courtesy of Bobcat technical fouls, gave the Big Red a nine point lead at the intermission.

Coming out of halftime, the Big Red knew Brewster would make a run, and the Bobcats came out firing. A 10-2 run early in the half brought the game close and the Big Red resiliency and composure again proved up to the task. St. Paul’s weathered the claws of the Bobcats and proved the more disciplined squad on both ends of the court, growing their lead to 19 to end the game. Final score: SPS 69 Brewster 50.

St. Paul’s was lead in scoring by ’24 Brandon Cho with a season high 23 points. Co-captain ’24 Jacob Kwon contributed his season high point total with 17 points. Kwon, ’25 Josh Samuels, and ’26 Harlem Taylor all tied to lead the team with 5 rebounds each.

Boys JV Hoops Take Down Milton

St. Paul’s traveled to Milton, MA on Saturday afternoon for a JVBB game against the Mustangs of Milton Academy. With a team playing at home as well, the Big Red were carrying a smaller roster than usual and knew it would take a true team effort to come away victorious. St. Paul’s opened the scoring quickly in the first half and were able to make the Mustang shooters uncomfortable enough from distance to take a five point lead into the intermission.

 The second half opened with Milton finding more efficiency from long-range and tying the game. The final sixteen minutes featured both teams trading baskets and defensive stops with neither ever able to open up a big lead. An offensive rebound and put back in the final minute from senior tri-captain ’23 Ben Thompson gave the Big Red the basket that would ultimately win the game. Final score: SPS 57 Milton 52

St. Paul’s Sweeps Brewster

St. Paul’s welcomed Brewster Academy to Concord on Wednesday afternoon for the second game of a home and home series this winter. Coming off a hard fought win in game one, the Big Red were committed to defensive discipline and creating interior looks on offense. The game opened quickly with St. Paul’s jumping out to an early lead courtesy of a frenetic offensive pace that the Wildcats were unable to domesticate. Slowly, however, Brewster began to claw their way back into the game through consecutive long-range conversions.

As the game progressed into the second half, the Wildcat three-point percentage dwindled and the Big Red lead grew. Although the turnovers mounted for both teams, St. Paul’s was able to continue to generate higher quality offensive looks that led to a higher conversion rate. Final score: SPS 56 Brewster 38.

St. Paul’s was led in scoring by co-captain ’24 Jacob Kwon (18 points) and ’25 Josh Samuels (11 points) who also pulled down 9 rebounds. The Big Red were led in rebounding by ’26 Harlem Taylor (13 rebounds).

Big Red Unable to Overcome Early Deficit

The St. Paul’s JV Basketball team traveled to the shores of Winnipesaukee on Wednesday for their season-opening matchup against Brewster. The early season jitters were present for the Big Red in the opening minutes as they quickly found themselves in a 12-2 hole courtesy of several Brewster three-pointers. As the game wore on, SPS gained comfort on both ends and began to attack the holes in the Brewster zone defense. The Big Red closed the half on a scoring run and went into the break with renewed energy. The second half began much the way the first ended, and St. Paul’s found themselves trailing by 5 with six minutes to play. Unfortunately this was as close as the Big Red would come and Brewster emerged victorious.

St. Paul’s will travel to Tilton on Friday evening for a 5:00 PM tip-off.

JVB Basketball Beats New Hampton

The Boys JV Basketball team was on their home court for two games on Wednesday afternoon, hosting Proctor and New Hampton. The Big Red came out inspired in game one, using an energetic 2-3 zone and unselfish ball movement to take a 19 point lead into the halftime break. These trends continued in the second half and St. Paul’s emerged with their first victory of the year.

In game two, the Big Red rode the momentum from game one. While a different roster, the themes were the same as St. Paul’s utilized effective zone pressure to force the Huskies into poor shots and adeptly secured rebounds, leading to transition opportunities on offense and a consistent double digit lead.

The Big Red will travel to New Hampton on Saturday afternoon for a 3:30 start.

Big Red Wins Home Opener

The Big Red played as a team with intensity and heart to bring home a win in their first home game of the season.  The team worked on their ball movement on offense, and good passing translated to open shots for our guards.  Georgia Cooper ’24 led the scoring with 14 points – 12 of those points from three-point shots.  Ava Price ’24 and Eliza Tse ’24 took advantage of shots on the perimeter and in the paint to score 11 and 9 points, respectively.  Opportunities in the paint also led to points for Lauren Andree ’24, Yuna Hong ’26, Katherine Lam ’25, Samantha Lam ’25, and Manon Lesort ’24.  27 – 8 at the half, the Big Red held off strong New Hampton players to end the game with a win. 

Girls JV Basketball Drops Close Battle

The Big Red competed against Deerfield at home on Saturday in what would be a close game.  The first quarter was a defensive battle, with both teams finding it difficult to score and each only putting up two points. SPS found their rhythm in the second quarter, scoring 13 points and holding Deerfield to 4, to make it 15-6 at the half. After the break, Deerfield started to chip away at the lead, and with 24 seconds left in the game, the Big Red was up by only a point (24-23). After a Deerfield timeout, they scored a quick bucket, which went unanswered by SPS. It was a tough loss for the Big Red who played hard until the end. 

The top scorer for SPS was Manon Lesort (8 points), who did a nice job on the glass.  Eliza Tse and Georgia Cooper played with intensity on both ends of the court and scored 6 and 4 points respectively. The remaining SPS points came from Stella McNab (4) and Katy Scott (2).   

Big Red Falls to Andover

Big Red hosted Andover for our second home game of the season.  Andover had a strong offensive start, but several baskets from Georgia Cooper ‘24, Stella McNab ‘25, and Ava Price ’24 brought St. Paul’s back into the game.  The game was tied at the half, but in the second and third quarters Andover pulled ahead.  Andover’s tight press on the home team led to turnovers and easy baskets for the visitors.  St. Paul’s worked on ball movement on offense, but passes were picked off, shots didn’t land, and rebounds went to Andover.  In the end, SPS hustled hard in this tough battle, but Andover’s reliable foul shots helped their team secure the win during the “double bonus.”  Big Red is looking forward to taking the lessons from 2022 into our games in 2023!

Competitive Game Ends in Defeat for SPS

The Big Red hosted Tilton for a rematch that kept fans on the edges of their seats until the end. Tilton started off strong, scoring the first basket of the game. Down by 6 at the end of the first quarter and down by 12 at the end of the first half, the game was far from over. Big Red tightened up its defense; players stepped in to help prevent Tilton from taking uncontested shots on the basket. On offense, players looked for open shots and rebounds led to points from shots in the paint. Thriving off energy from the bench and spectators in the stands, SPS put up 13 shots in the third quarter. At the end of the game, Stella McNab ’25, Ava Price ’24, and Eliza Tse ‘24 led the scoring with 7 points, 11 points, and 6 points respectively. Made baskets by Lauren Andree ’24, Georgia Cooper ’24, and Yuna Hong ’26 helped bring the SPS final score to 34. Unfortunately, the early lead and accurate foul shooting from the visiting team saw Tilton come out on top with 38 points.

The Big Red skaters were outplayed in the first two periods of the game—giving up four goals in each period. The “Rams” were the better team, as they were a step faster, sharper with their passes, and executed a more discipline game plan than the “boys of winter.” Highlights for the Big Red were Third Former, Harry Dermody scoring his second goal of the year in as many games and the team playing a strong third period of team hockey.

The St. Paul’s School skaters will get back to practice on Monday as they prepare for another big week of Lakes Region hockey that has them scheduled to play Vermont Academy on Wednesday at 4:30 pm, Kimball Union on Friday at 5:30, and then their first away game of the year on Saturday at Proctor Academy at 4:30.

Lino Viau ʼ24 and Bryce Terry ʼ23 scored goals for the “Paulies” in the rst and second period. Unfortunately, in the third period, the game got away from the St. Paul’s School skaters in a span of eight minutes. Vermont scored three goals in eight minutes—their second and third goals came in a span of thirty-two seconds. In the closing minutes of play, St. Paul’s School pulled their goalie for an extra attacker, but they could not nd the magic in their sticks to nd the equalizer. After being out shot 44-16, the “Wildcats” took advantage of the “Big Red” empty net and deposited two more goals to leave Concord with a good ve to two Lakes Region road hockey win. Blake Truchon ʼ26 played a great game in net but was the hard luck loser.

The “Big Red” return to action on Friday at 5:30 pm in the Hockey Center to take on perennial Lakes Region hockey powerhouse Kimball Union Academy. We hope to see you there!

Strong First Period Not Enough for Big Red

The St. Paul’s School boys varsity hockey team played host to the Kimball Union Academy “Wildcats” at 5:30 pm in the Hockey Center on Gordon Rink for their second Lakes Region contest in three days. The “boys of winter” played a strong first period. The score after the first 18 minutes of play was 2 - 1 for the visitors. The lone St. Paul’s School goal came o the stick of captain, Matt Grady ̕23, to give the “Paulies” good momentum going into the middle period. Ultimately, in the second period of play the “Wildcats” would take advantage of St. Paul’s School defensive miscues and score three goals in the span of five minutes to take control of the game—a commanding lead for the last period of the game. The “Big Red” stayed with their game and although they were down by a score of 5 - 1, they skated with determination and purpose. St. Paul’s School goaltender, Treva Murphy ̕23, stood tall in the net and stopped 55 of 61 shots on goal. The “boys of winter” get right back at it Saturday afternoon at 4:30 in Andover, New Hampshire when they travel north to take on a well-rested Proctor Academy “Hornets” team for their third game in four days.

Big Red Falls to Proctor Hornets

The “Big Red” boys varsity hockey team traveled north up route 89 to take on the well-rested Proctor Academy “Hornets” hockey team. This game was St. Paul’s School third game in four days and with a tidy roster the “boys of winter” did a nice job of hanging around the hockey game to give themselves a chance to win in the last period of play. Ultimately, fatigue set in and the St. Paul’s School skaters lost a step in speed and execution. Give credit to the home team - they hustled and finished every check around the rink and took advantage of the “Big Red’s” mental and physical miscues to score seven goals, three of which came late in the third period. Rocco Bryant ̕23 and Blake Truchon ̕26 split the goaltending duties; captain, Bryce Terry ̕23 scored a goal at the end of the first period and Patrick Cooley ̕25 scored in the second period to keep the score at 4 - 2, but the “Paulies” ran out of stamina to muster any type of serious comeback.

The “boys of winter” will take some time o from game play before they head down to Avon Old Farms to participate in the Avon Old Farms Christmas Classic on Thursday, December 15th against the Kent School at 7:00pm.

Captain Bryce Terry ̕23 scored “The Big Red’s” lone goal in the closing minutes of play to close the game out for a final score of 4-1.

In the second game of the 39th Annual Avon Old Farms School Christmas Hockey Classic for the St. Paul’s School Pelicans, the team traveled over to the Koeppel Center on the Trinity College campus to take on the Tabor Academy Seawolves. “The Big Red” fell behind quickly in the first half of play, going down by two goals within the first eight minutes of play; then, Lino Viau ̕24 would score mid way through the first half to close the score to 2 - 1. “The Seawolves” responded to Viau’s goal by scoring their third goal of the game three minutes later. The St. Paul’s School skaters did not waver and showed great resilience, battling back to tie the game at three apiece. Conley Bohan ̕24 fired a shot from the offensive blue line to find the back of the net for the second “Big Red” goal of the game. Then, captain Matt Grady ̕23 redirected another Bohan ̕24 point shot within the last four minutes of play to tie the game at three after the first twenty-five minutes of play. In the second half of play, both teams played well and Tabor Academy scored their game winning goal on a defensive miscue midway through the second half. The boys of winter skated with passion and determination for the remainder of the game, but were unable to get the puck past the Tabor Academy netminder to tie the game and skated off the ice with a hard fought 3-4 loss. Blake Truchon ̕26, battled in the net for the “Big Red,” coming up with key saves as crucial moments, especially in the second half.

Big Red Falls to Winged Beavers of Avon Old Farms

In front of packed crowd in the Jennings-Fairchild Arena, The St. Paul’s School varsity boys hockey team jumped out to a 1-0 lead against the tournament host when Jack Michaud ̕23 fired a nice backhand shot past the Avon Old Farms netminder from the right face off dot in the opening five minutes of play. For the next fifteen minutes of play, the “Winged Beavers” came at the “Pelicans” in waves, but the “boys of winter” skated with determination and structure to thwart the Avon attack. The host team eventually broke through and scored three goals in the last seven minutes of play in the first half. Over the course of the second half, the “Big Red” would surrender two more goals to give the Avon Old Farms School a 5-1 victory and a spot in the championship game on Saturday afternoon at 3:30. The St. Paul’s School skaters played another good game, but did not get the result they were looking for. That said, the team is starting to show better resilience, grit, and — despite their smaller roster size — they are becoming a very tough hockey team to play against. The St. Paul’s School boys varsity hockey team will take on the Trinity Pawling “Pride” in the seventh/eighth place game tomorrow morning at 8:30 before heading on the holiday break.

Big Red Finishes Strong at the Classic

In the fourth and last game of the 39th Annual Avon Old Farms School Christmas Hockey Classic for the St. Paul’s School Pelicans faced o against the Trinity Pawling School “Pride.” The “Big Red” skaters stayed together and found a way to pull o a well earned 2 - 1 victory after playing their hearts out for two days. Rocco Bryant ̕23 played his best game of the season in the net, making several quality saves at key moments in the second half. Lino Viau ̕24 scored two goals in the first half of the game, one at even strength and one on the power play to help propel the team to victory. Although the team finished the tournament with a 1-3 record, they played well and showed that when a group of individuals can come together to play and support one another for a common cause, they can do great things. The “boys of winter” will take a well needed rest for the next two weeks and resume action in the New Year when they head down to Tabor Academy for the 27th Annual Joshua Weeks New Year’s Invitational Hockey Tournament. They will take on the “Dragons” from St. George’s School at 9:00 am on January 2nd.

The boys varsity hockey team traveled down to Tabor Academy to participate in the 27th Annual Joshua H. Weeks New Year’s Invitational Hockey Tournament.

Harry Dermody ̕26 had the primary assist. The Dragons responded nine minutes later to tie the game at one.

The teams would trade offensive chances for the next twelve minutes of play. In the closing minute of the 25 minute half, it was Harry Dermody ̕26 that was a recipient of a Matt Vohra ̕25 pass off on a two-on-one break to give SPS a 2-1 lead heading into the intermission.

SPS Hockey Beats Milton 4-3 in Semis of Weeks Tournament

In game two of the 27th Annual Joshua H. Weeks New Year’s Invitational Hockey Tournament, the St. Paul’s School took on the 2022 Flood Marr Tournament Champions, the Milton Academy Mustangs. SPS — with their shortened bench and “can do” attitude — showed a lot of mettle tonight, as they overcame a two goal deficit in the final thirteen minutes of play to skate away with a four to three victory over one of the top prep hockey teams in New England. St. Paul’s got on the board first when Lino Viau ’24 banked home a Bryce Terry ’23 shot off the pads to give SPS a one to zero lead thirteen minutes into the action. Milton responded three minutes later with a goal of their own. The first half of play ended with the scored tied at one goal a piece.

At the start of the second half, Milton jumped on the board early, scoring thirty two seconds into the start of play. The Mustang skaters then scored again nine minutes later to give themselves a three to one lead with thirteen minutes to play. The pesky Big Red team would not go away, though, and Jack Michaud ’23 banked home a Ryan Doherty ̕’23 shot from the right face-off circle to close the deficit. Harry Dermody ’26 then scored on the power play with less than four minutes to play when he banked home a beautiful feed at the top of the goal crease from Jack Stadheim ’24, who was parked off the right side of the post, to tie the game at three.

Matt Vohra ’25 followed up on Demody’s goal two and a half minutes later when he fired a low hard shot past the Milton netminder from the top of the left face-off circle to give “The Big Red” a four to three lead with ninety seconds left to play. Blake Truchon ̕26 earned his first career SPS victory in the net stopping thirty-eight of thirty-five Mustang shots.

The St. Paul’s will face-off tomorrow afternoon at 3:00 pm against the Winchendon Academy Wapiti for the Weeks tournament championship in the Travis Roy Rink on the Tabor Academy campus in Marion, Massachusetts—we hope to see you in the rink!

SPS Falls to Winchendon

On Tuesday afternoon, the St. Paul’s School Big Red faced-off against the Winchendon School Wapiti in the 27th Annual Joshua H. Weeks New Year’s Tournament Championship game at Tabor Academy. The Big Red were defeated by a score of 7-1. The team skated hard and the game was even for the first nine minutes of play. The Wapiti scored first and then proceeded to score three more goals to give themselves a commanding four goal lead after the first eighteen minutes of play. Jack Stadheim ̕24 scored the lone St. Paul’s goal in the second period to cut the Winchendon School to four to one. The Big Red skated furiously in the third period, but they were marred by penalty trouble and ended up giving three more goals in the last period of play: one on the power play and two empty net goals. The team will return to action on Saturday, Jan. 7, when they travel down to Phillips Exeter.

SPS Ties Exeter

The St. Paul’s School varsity boys hockey team traveled down to Phillips Exeter Academy to take on New Hampshire’s other “Big Red.” At the end of fifty-nine minutes of play, both teams skated away with a 2-2 tie.

St. Paul’s Matt Vohra ̕25 opened the games scoring when he fired a wrist shot past the Exeter goalie from the top of the right face-off circle in the first period. Exeter tied the game at one midway through the second period, and then Jack Stadheim ̕24 scored in the last five minutes of the middle frame, tucking the puck into the upper corner from the right side of the goal line. The goal gave the boys from Millville a two-to-one lead at the end of the second period. Exeter would respond with the lone goal in the third period, and neither team would score in the five minute overtime period.

Treva Murphy ̕25 was excellent in net—stopping thirty-five of thirty-seven shots—especially in the second period. The Big Red have another big week of Lakes Region hockey coming up when they take on Holderness this Wednesday at 2:30 in the Hockey Center, Andover Academy on Friday at 5:45, and then travel north to Kimball Union Academy on Saturday afternoon for a 4:00 pm puck drop.

SPS Falls to Holderness

The St. Paul’s School boys varsity hockey team returned to the Hockey Center this afternoon for their first home game of the new year versus Holderness. The Bulls started the game fast as they out-skated, out passed, and outshot the Big Red within the first eight minutes of the game. As a result, Holderness scored first.

The St. Paul’s School skaters were able to put together a good ten minute stretch of play before they surrendered the second and last goal of the game in the last minute of the first period. The remainder of the game saw both teams take numerous penalties, and neither team was able to capitalize on the man advantage opportunities. Although SPS lost this game two-to-zero they should be credited for hanging in the game. Third Former Blake Truchon was exceptional in net, coming up with several big saves in all three periods to keep the score close. SPS will be back in action on Friday night at 5:45 in the Hockey Center when they play host to the Big Blue from Andover. We hope to see you there to watch the St. Paul’s School hockey team take on one of its longest standing hockey opponents.

SPS Falls to Big Blue of Andover

The St. Paul’s School varsity boys hockey team played host to the Andover Academy on Friday night in the Hockey Center and skated off with an 8-2 loss. Like most athletic contests, the score is not always indicative of the contest. In the first period, both teams played well, but Andover capitalized on two defensive miscues by the “Big Red.” Dylan Biggs ̕23 and Christian Yi ̕24 scored the SPS goals — one in the second and one in the third period. To the credit of “Big Blue,” they capitalized on bouncing pucks throughout the game and scored a number of goals in transition against the St. Paul’s School skaters in the last two periods of play. In some ways this game truly was a “Friday the 13th” for the boys of winter. The team will regroup quickly and take on perennial Lakes Region power the Kimball Union Academy “Wildcats” at 4:00 pm in Meriden, New Hampshire on Saturday afternoon.

KUA Tops Big Red

The storyline out of Meriden, New Hampshire was Kimball Union Academy’s quick start. They scored two minutes into the contest, and then capitalized on their man advantage situations to score five goals in the first period of play. The “Big Red” scored their lone goal in the second period when Mathieu Goldenberg ̕24 fired home a high snap shot from the right point. For the last thirty-six minutes of play, the “boys of winter” played well and held the “Wildcats” to one goal. The St. Paul’s School skaters will get back to work on Monday and will look forward to their week ahead when they take on the Proctor Academy “Hornets” on Wednesday at home in the Hockey Center and the Vermont Academy “Wildcats” on the road Saturday afternoon.

Big Red Stung by Hornets

The St. Paul’s School skaters faced off against the Proctor Academy “Hornets” on Wednesday afternoon and were stung by their lack of team discipline. The “Big Red” took too many penalties in the contest to give themselves a chance to win. To Proctor’s credit, after a scoreless first period, they capitalized on two power play opportunities to finish the first thirty-six minutes of play with a 2-0 lead. In the last eighteen minutes of play, Lino Viau ̕24 scored the “Pelicans” lone goal on the power-play. “The boys of winter” had plenty of chances to tie the game at two in the last six minutes of play, but they were unable to get the puck by the stingy Proctor Academy netminder. Treva Murphy ̕25 played well between the pipes for the “Big Red”—making timely saves at crucial moments of the contest to keep the game close for the full fifty-four minutes of play.

The “Big Red” will be on the road Saturday afternoon when they travel over to Saxtons River, Vermont to square off against the pesky Vermont Academy “Wildcats” at 4:00 pm.

Big Red Tops Vermont Academy on the Road

The St. Paul’s School “Big Red” varsity boys hockey team traveled to Saxtons River, Vermont this afternoon to take on the pesky “Wildcats” and skated away with a well-deserved 2-1 victory. The “Pelican” skaters, Ryan Doherty ̕23 and Conly Bohan ̕24 scored in the first and second periods to help the “boys of winter” find another road win. The “Green Mountain” goaltender, Blake Tuchon ̕26, was right at home between the pipes this afternoon, and to his credit, he stopped all but one “Wildcat” shot on net.

The “Big Red” are on the road this week to face off against two outstanding Independent School League teams: Milton Academy and Belmont Hill. They travel to Milton Academy on Wednesday for a 3:30 puck drop and Belmont Hill on Saturday for a 3:45 face-off; we hope to see you there!

Game canceled.

Big Red Falls to Hilltoppers

On Saturday afternoon, the boys varsity hockey team traveled down to Belmont Hill School to take on last year’s New England Prep School Hockey Finalists. The “Big Red” skated well in the first period, but were unable to capitalize on their man-advantage opportunities in the first eighteen minutes of play and the period ended one to zero in favor of the home team. Early in the second period, Christian Yi ̕’24 made a phenomenal pass from deep in the defensive zone to send Ryan Doherty ‘25 in on a breakaway goal to tie the game at one. To the home team’s credit, they responded in the second period by scoring two goals of their own—one on the power play, and one from the right point to give themselves a three to one lead going into the last period of play. In the third period of play, the St. Paul’s School skaters pushed on, but they had a hard time generating any sustained offense in the offensive zone. Belmont Hill scored their fourth goal on a deflection off a point shot in front of the “Big Red” net. Matt Vohra ̕25 scored a shorthanded goal to close the lead to four to two, but the “Paulies” could not muster anymore grade “A” scoring chances to close the Belmont Hill lead in the last half of the period. Blake Truchon ̕26 put together another strong performance in net, stopping 42 of 46 Belmont Hill shots on net.

The “Big Red” boys varsity hockey team will return to action Wednesday afternoon when they take on the New Hampton Huskies in Lakes Region matchup at 4:00 in the Hockey Center. We hope to see you there!

Big Red Wins Front End of Home and Home

In the first game of the home and away series between the St. Paul’s School “Big Red” boys varsity hockey team and the New Hampton School “Huskies,” the St. Paul’s School hockey team skated off the ice at the end of fifty-four minutes of play with a good 3-2 victory. The game was scoreless at the end of the first period of play, and then in the second period of play, the visitors got on the board first with a goal midway through the period. In the third period, “the boys of winter” exploded for three goals in a span of four minutes to take a three to one lead — St. Paul’s School goals came off the sticks of Matt Vohra ̕25, Ryan Doherty ̕23, and Mathieu Goldenberg ̕24. New Hampton responded with a goal of their own with less than six minutes to play to make the score 3-2 in favor of the “Big Red.” Goalie, Treva Murphy ̕25 stood tall in the net, and the team rallied defensively to thwart any Husky opportunities in the closing minutes of the game. Before the start of Long Winter Weekend, the teams will play game two on Friday afternoon on the New Hampton School campus at 3:00.

Big Red Falls to Huskies

The St. Paul’s School varsity boys hockey team traveled north on I93 this afternoon to play the second game of the home and away series between the “Pelicans” and the New Hampton School “Huskies.” The “Big Red” jumped on the board early when Harry Dermody ̕26 scored on a breakaway pass from Matt Vohra ̕25. After eighteen minutes of play, the score remained one nothing in favor of the visiting team. In the second period, New Hampton tied the game at one after a series of defensive miscues. Unfortunately, in the last eighteen minutes of play, the “Big Red” skaters surrendered five goals and Blake Truchon ’26 was the hard luck loser in the net—stopping forty-seven of fifty-three “Husky” shots on net.

The “Big Red” skaters will take advantage of the Long Winter Weekend break and resume action Wednesday afternoon when they travel over to Brewster Academy to take on the “Bobcats” at 3:00 pm at the Pop Whalen arena.

Big Red Tops Bobcats

The St. Paul’s School varsity boys hockey team traveled over to Wolfeboro this afternoon to take on the Brewster Academy “Bobcats” for a 3:00 pm puck drop. Ironically, both teams heading into this Lakes Region contest had similar overall records for the 2022-2023 hockey season: 6-14-1. The number “two” was the theme of today’s contest as the “Big Red” never got rattled, and played a good fty-four minute hockey game to skate o the “Pop Whalen Ice Rink” ice with a 5-4 victory. Brewster Academy scored “two” goals in the rst two periods of play. The “boys of winter” scored “two” shorthanded goals in the second period o of the sticks of the two SPS captains, Matt Grady ̕23 and Bryce Terry ̕23. The “Big Red” also scored “two” power play goals—the rst and last goals of the game—o the sticks of AJ True ̕24 and Ryan Doherty ̕23. The fourth goal of the game for the St. Paul’s School hockey team was score by Brad Cox ̕24 in a four on four situation in the closing minutes of the second period. However you want to look at today’s outcome, the number “two” was an integral part of this afternoon game—and the boys were happy to travel back to Millville with “two” well earned Lakes Region points. Treva Murphy ̕25 played in net and was resilient through the contest stopping 25 of 29 Brewster shots.

The team will face-off on home ice in the Hockey Center Saturday afternoon at 3:00 p.m. against the Lawrence Academy “Spartans” for what will be the last official regular season “home game” for the Form of 2023.

Senior Day for Big Red

On senior day in the “Hockey Center,” the boys varsity hockey team took on the Lawrence Academy “Spartans” and lost by a score of 8-0. The “Big Red” did not have one of their best games and the visitors were looking to avenge their performance from their game against the St. Sebastian’s “Arrows” on Friday night. Consequently, “The Spartans” out skated, out hustled, and frankly just out played the “Pelicans” this afternoon—they were the better team. With that said, the Form of 2023, Matt Grady, Bryce Terry, Ryan Doherty, Rocco Bryant, Dylan Biggs, and Jack Michaud could not have been better representatives of St. Paul’s School hockey and the values of the School. Collectively, all six boys led with courage, dignity, and pride in the rich tradition of St. Paul’s School hockey. With two weeks left in the season, we know they will continue to lead with excellence, and we are grateful for their commitment—thank you for everything you have done!

The “Big Red” will regroup this week and get ready for the last two weeks of the season, when they nish with away games against the Tilton School “Rams” on Friday night the 17th at 5:00 pm and the HoldernessSchool“Bulls”onSaturdaythe18th at4:30beforetheyenterLakesRegionTournament play on February 24th and 25th.

Big Red Falls to Tilton

On Friday afternoon, the “Big Red” traveled north to Tilton School for another Lakes Region matchup to take on the Rams on their “senior night.” After the first 18 minutes of play, the visiting “Pelicans” found themselves down by a score of 3-0. Over the course of the next thirty-six minutes of play, the “Big Red” battled hard and outscored the home team by a count of three to two. Patrick Cooley ’24, Dylan Biggs ̕’23, and Bryce Terry ̕’23 scored the St. Paul’s School goals and Blake Truchon ̕’26 was the hard luck loser in net, stopping 30 of 35 Tilton shots. Unfortunately, the Tilton first period lead was too much to overcome for “the boys of winter.”

The team will resume action late tomorrow afternoon when they travel to Plymouth to take on the Holderness School “Bulls” in their senior night at 5:00 pm.

Big Red Topped by Holderness Bulls

For the second time in two days, the boys varsity hockey team hit the road to play a Lakes Region opponent on their senior day — this time it was the Holderness School Bulls. The “Bulls” jumped out to an early lead one minute into the game. The “Big Red” steadied the tide and then played solid hockey for the next thirty-two minutes of play, and then with less than three minutes to play in the second period, the “Paulies” surrendered three consecutive goals. The last eighteen minutes of play saw the St. Paul’s School skaters work hard, but they could not get the puck by the Holderness School, all-league goaltender. Treva Murphy ̕’25 was the hard luck loser in the net, stopping 27 of 31 shots on net.

SPS Moves Past VA to Continue on in the Lakes Region Playoff Tournament

On Friday afternoon the “Big Red” played host to the Vermont Academy “Wildcats” in the Lakes Region end-of-the-season playoff tournament in the Hockey Center. St. Paul’s, the number six seed in the eight-team tournament was looking for a win against the number seven seed—Vermont Academy. The winner of the game would move on to play one more game on Saturday afternoon against the winner of the number five seed New Hampton “Huskies” and number eight seed Brewster Academy “Wildcats”—the loser would have their season come to a close. In the first period of play, SPS fell behind quickly by a score of two to zero, but in the closing minutes of the period, Ryan Doherty ̕23 scored the much-needed first goal to close the deficit by one. Doherty’s goal gave the “Big Red” all the momentum they would need for the next thirty-six minutes of play. In the second period, Jack Michaud ̕23 tied the game with a wrist from the slot off a Dylan Biggs ̕23 pass, and Patrick Cooley ̕25 deflected a Matt Vohra ̕25 wrist shot from the right point to give the home team all the offense they needed for the remainder of the game, and the opportunity to play one more game on the last Saturday of February!

Once again, Blake Truchon stood tall in the net, stopping twenty-five of twenty-eight Vermont Academy shots. The team will patiently await who they will play for the last game of the 2022-23 varsity hockey season.

A Good Start for the Big Red

The Big Red Girls JV hockey team opened their season traveling to the KUA Wildcats. It was a super game with both teams skating well and working hard at both ends of the ice. It would be St. Pauls’ beginning the scoring when Meg Bohan banged home the rebound of an Emerson Bentley shot. KUA rallied back scoring a pair of goals to take the lead 2–1. A nifty wrap around goal by Ali Cabot leveled the game 2 – 2 midway through the second period. It would take until late in the third period before the Big Red could take the lead for good. Meg Bohan knows just where to be on the back side of the net as she tucked home another rebound this one off a Whitney Shaw shot. KUA pushed hard but the stellar goaltending of Parker Neilson kept the door closed. With just about 4 minutes to play Katie Allen’s hard work would pay off. Katie followed her own shot and tucked the puck past the outstretched pad of the KUA netminder. This made the final score 4–2 in favor of the Big Red. It was a well-played game by both teams.

p>With a good group of JV hockey players returning from last year’s squad the season ahead looks to be fun one. Returning to the team are goaltender Parker Neilson, defensive players Muriel Mercer and Ali Cabot as well as forwards Whiney Shaw, Anna Camera, Katie Allen, Kitty Diamond, Emerson Bentley and Meg Bohan. We welcome to the squad, fourth forms Carolyn Frost and Nel Peter, and third formers Thayer Demers, Saylor Pachios, Finlay Goring, Luly de Lourdes Lalieu and Aedyn Kourakos.

We are looking forward to a wonderful season of excellent teamwork and support as well as positive growth as players and teammates.

Go Big Red!

Big Red Tops the Big Blue

In Wednesday afternoon’s home opener, the Big Red JV girls’ hockey team utilized contributions throughout the lineup to defeat visiting Andover 6-0.  Early on, the story was the strong play of the Andover goaltender, who turned aside several shots as St. Paul’s began to establish sustained zone time.  Late in the period, the Big Red finally broke through when Ali Cabot ‘25 collected the rebound of a Thayer Demers ‘26 shot and stuffed home a wraparound to give the hosts a 1-0 lead that would carry into the intermission. 

St. Paul’s continued to apply pressure throughout the second period and extended its lead to 2-0 when Kitty Diamond ‘25 took a pass from classmate Emerson Bentley and backhanded a shot inside the far post.  Lily Iler ‘23 found the scoresheet for the first time this season, putting home her own rebound after great work from linemates Meg Bohan ‘25 and Whitney Shaw ‘23 helping to create the scoring opportunity.  Before the final buzzer sounded, Cabot, Bentley, and Katie Allen ‘23 tallied goals for the Big Red.  Goaltender Parker Neilson ‘25 made a flurry of saves in the final few moments to preserve the shutout.  The team is off until next Wednesday when the Big Red will host the Pingree School.  Puck drop is at 4:30 PM.

SPS Finishes 2022 with a Strong Team Effort

The SPS JV Girls’ Hockey team closed out the 2022 portion of the calendar with a victory over visiting Pingree School on Wednesday afternoon.  The hosts struck first midway through the opening frame when Meg Bohan ‘25 jammed home a loose puck in the crease after the initial shot from Emerson Bentley ‘25 was saved.  These same two players combined to double SPS’ lead a few minutes later, this time with Bentley being the beneficiary of a pass from Bohan.  Pingree cut the Pelicans’ lead to 2-1 late in the frame, but before the buzzer Ali Cabot ‘25 restored a two-goal advantage for St. Paul’s.

In the second period, St. Paul’s took control of the game with a pair of goals from Whitney Shaw ‘23 sandwiched around a Katie Allen ‘23 tally.  Kitty Diamond ‘25 also scored two goals, and Caroline Frost ‘25 netted her first career goal to round out the scoring.  Big Red goaltender Parker Neilson ‘25 stopped 15 of the 16 shots she faced to earn the win in net. 

We wish everyone a relaxing holiday season and look forward to our return to action in January! 

Big Red Gets Off to a Positive Start in 2023

After a three-week layoff for winter break, the SPS JV girls’ hockey team returned to action with a victory over host Proctor Academy on Wednesday afternoon. Kitty Diamond ‘25 got the scoring started for the Big Red midway through the first period on a turnaround shot from the slot. Classmate Meg Bohan doubled SPS’ lead later in the period on a tremendous solo effort. Bohan blocked a shot at the point before picking up the loose puck in the neutral zone and converting a breakaway. Emerson Bentley ‘25 scored a pair of second period goals, both assisted by Muriel Mercer ‘23. Ali Cabot ‘25, Whitney Shaw ‘23, and Saylor Pachios ‘26 tallied one goal apiece, and Pachios also added an assist. Goaltender Parker Neilson ‘25 stopped 12 of 14 shots to earn the victory between the pipes.

Lots of Firsts as Big Red Tops the Bulls

The Big Red continued their 2023 success as they took on the Bulls of Holderness. There were lots of firsts today. Emerson Bentley netted the squads first three goals today earning her first hat trick of the season. Sixth form captain Muriel Mercer netted her first goal of the year as did third formers Thayer Demers and Aedyn Kourakos. Another first-time goal scorer was fourth former Parker Neilson. This was also Parker’s first-time skating as an out player for SPS as she has done a great job as the club’s goaltender thus far this year. The final first was fourth former Ali Cabot earning a shutout in her first time between the pipes. An impressive team effort by all.

Next up the Proctor Hornets travel to Millville on Wednesday. Go Big Red!

Team Effort Earns Victory Over Hornets

For the second time in a seven-day span, SPS faced off against Proctor Academy. Paced by a hat trick from Emerson Bentley ’25 — her second in as many games — and several key saves from goaltender Parker Neilson ’25, the team continued its strong start to the season. The team’s recent focus in practice on passing and moving off the puck was evident throughout the game, as there were several nice passing sequences to help fuel the team’s attack. Ali Cabot ’25, Meg Bohan ’25, and Thayer Demers ’26 also found the back of the net for the Big Red, and Whitney Shaw ’23 recorded a pair of assists. Neilson turned aside 12 shots to earn the win between the pipes, including several big saves early in the game.

SPS Tops New Hampton

SPS kicked off a stretch in which 6 of their next 7 games are on the road with a 6-0 victory at New Hampton School on Saturday afternoon. The hosts were playing with a short bench, and SPS came out skating hard and moving the puck well in the attacking zone. Whitney Shaw ‘23 opened the scoring, converting a pass from classmate Muriel Mercer ‘23 midway through the first. Kitty Diamond ‘25 extended SPS’ lead to 2-0, scoring the first of her three goals on the afternoon when she found the rebound of Mercer’s point shot. Emerson Bentley ‘25 scored on a partial breakaway, and Shaw added a second goal of the afternoon in the third period. Parker Neilson ‘25 continued her strong play between the pipes in earning the shutout. Her New Hampton counterpart also played extremely well, making several outstanding saves throughout the game. Up next for SPS is a trip to Dexter-Southfield School on Wednesday afternoon for a meeting with an undefeated Southfield squad.

Tight Defense the Difference for the Big Red

Phenomenal goaltending from Parker Neilson ‘25 and strong defensive play in front of the net propelled SPS to a 3-1 victory over host Southfield School in an extremely competitive matchup on Wednesday afternoon. SPS came into the game expecting a battle, and every player rose to the occasion against a talented Southfield squad. Ali Cabot ‘25 opened the scoring in the first period on a wrist shot from the point that made its way through traffic and past the Southfield goaltender. Classmate Emerson Bentley doubled the visitors’ lead in the second period when she outmuscled a Southfield defender en-route to the net and took a wrist shot that sneaked between the goalie’s arm and body. The hosts pulled within a goal late in the second period, but that was as close as they would get. Neilson closed the door the rest of the way, ending the game with 34 saves on 35 shots faced. In front of her, SPS defended with purpose and urgency throughout the third period to limit dangerous scoring opportunities against. Bentley sealed the victory with an empty net goal inside the final 30 seconds.

Big Red Starts Strong and Tops the Bulldogs of Nobles

Highlighted by third former Finlay Goring’s first career goal, SPS skated to a 7-1 victory over Nobles and Greenough School on Saturday afternoon. The Big Red got off to a quick start, receiving goals from Ali Cabot ‘25 and Katie Allen ‘23 on consecutive shifts within the opening minutes. Cabot paced SPS with a four-point afternoon on a goal and three assists, while Allen and Emerson Bentley ‘25 each scored two goals. Whitney Shaw ‘23 rounded out the scoring for SPS, and Thayer Demers ‘26 recorded a pair of assists. Up next for SPS is a home-and-home with a formidable Phillips Exeter squad, beginning with a game in Millville on Wednesday.

Big Red Pulls Out Victory Over the Other Big Red of Exeter

Whitney Shaw ‘23 scored a hat trick to help lead SPS to a victory over New Hampshire’s other Big Red, Phillips Exeter, in the first game of a home-and-home between the two teams on Wednesday afternoon. Shaw opened the scoring when she found the rebound of a Meg Bohan ‘25 shot and beat the outstretched Exeter goaltender. Bohan converted a rebound opportunity of her own later in the period to give SPS a 2-0 lead after one. A big second period saw Shaw and Emerson Bentley ‘25 each score a pair of goals to put the hosts in control. Goaltender Parker Neilson ‘25 stopped 16 shots, including a key breakaway save in the first period when the score was 1-0. The teams will complete the second leg of the home-and-home at Exeter next Wednesday afternoon.

The Big Reds Battle Again

For the second time in as many games, it was the “Battle of the Big Red’s” as SPS concluded a home-and-home with Phillips Exeter. The line of Anna Camara ‘23, Katie Allen ‘23, and Kitty Diamond ‘25 was particularly effective for SPS, generating several scoring chances throughout the game and contributing to the first two goals of the game. Allen and Camara moved the puck well to set up the first goal, finding Emerson Bentley ‘25 at the point. Bentley’s wrist shot through traffic found the top corner to put the visitors ahead. Later in the period, that same line scored a “quintessential garbage goal” in which they put the puck on net and whacked away at the loose rebound until Diamond pushed it across the goal line. The hosts pulled within a goal in the second period, but Whitney Shaw ‘23 restored a two-goal lead for SPS when she was left alone in front and chipped the puck over the sprawled Exeter goaltender. Parker Neilson ‘25 earned the win between the pipes, stopping 11 shots.

Strong Performance by Big Red on the Road

Ali Cabot ‘25 scored on the first shot of the game and SPS never looked back, defeating host Northfield Mount Hermon on Saturday afternoon. Passing, working off the puck to get open, and being supportive teammates characterized the team’s performance, as players worked to find passing lanes as the puck advanced up ice and focused on quick puck movement in the attacking zone. Every player in uniform made meaningful contributions to the victory, whether it was in the form of an early pass that led to a goal, exemplary effort on the backcheck to break up a NMH rush, good defensive zone positioning, or cheering for teammates from the bench between shifts. Although she was not called upon often, Parker Neilson ‘25 earned the shutout with a handful of “Grade A” saves from close range.

Big Red Downs Big Blue

On Wednesday afternoon, the SPS JV Girls hit the road for the final time this season, traveling to Andover for the second meeting of the season between the teams.  SPS jumped out to a 2-0 lead after the first period courtesy of goals from Ali Cabot ‘25 and Anna Camara ‘23, whose goal was her first of the season.  Throughout the second period and the first half of the third, an Andover team that has improved tremendously since the teams first met in early December shut down the Big Red through strong defensive play and sound goaltending.  Midway through the third, Katie Allen ‘23 found the back of the net to kick off a six-minute stretch in which the Big Red scored four times to pull away for the victory.  Emerson Bentley ‘25 factored in on the final three goals, scoring two and assisting Kitty Diamond ‘25 on the third.  The JV team will conclude the season on Saturday with a visit from Kimball Union Academy. 

Big Red Finishes the Season Strong and Together

On Saturday afternoon, the SPS JV Girls Hockey team concluded the season by facing off against Kimball Union Academy, who, coincidentally, is the team SPS began the season against. When SPS and KUA met in December, the team’s objective was to set a baseline for the season. On Saturday, the goal was amplified: to conclude an undefeated season. After 45 minutes of hockey, that goal had been achieved. SPS skated to a 4-1 victory to finish the season with a 14-0 record.

Fans who arrived just two minutes late missed a flurry of early action, as Saylor Pachios ‘26 gave the Big Red the lead on the first shift of the game, only to see the Wildcats respond with a goal of their own on the next shift. Later in the period, Emerson Bentley ‘25 scored what would hold up as the winning goal to put the hosts ahead 2-1. A tightly contested battle, the score of the game remained 2-1 until the midpoint of the third, when the steady pressure SPS had been applying paid off. Meg Bohan ‘25, who had generated several chances previously, was rewarded for her hard work when her wraparound attempt banked off the KUA goalie’s skate and into the net. Ali Cabot ‘25 put the game out of reach with a goal a few minutes later. Parker Neilson ‘25 responded well after giving up the first shot she faced, making 14 saves.

Thank you to sixth formers Katie Allen, Anna Camara, Muriel Mercer, and Whitney Shaw for providing outstanding leadership and setting a fun tone throughout the season, and to all players for making it an unforgettable year.

Girls Varsity Squash Ends Regular Season With Win Over WInsor

Going into the match against two of New England’s best teams, SPS was ranked #5 in the New England rankings and sitting at 9-1. Winsor was ranked 4 and holding onto a 10-0 undefeated season. Winsor’s team came out showing its strength early winning the first two matches on court at #2 and #4 to give Winsor the 2-0 early lead. SPS roared back winning the next three matches on court—Tori Thill (#6) , LeLe Gibbs (#5), and Catherine Li (#3) to take a 3-2 overall lead. With two matches to go and SPS only needing 1 win to secure the match, Dasiy Wu jumped out to a 2-0 lead at #7 while Calla Yim went down 1-0 at #1. It was looking like Daisy was going to be the hero until Calla went on an absolute run and quickly dispatched her opponent 3-1 all before Daisy’s match was complete. Daisy eventually fell in 5 games but Calla’s comeback win shocked the room and gave SPS the 4-3 win. This moves SPS in the #4 spot in the New England rankings which is the highest it has been in at least the last 10 years. The regular season is now complete and the team finished with a 10-1 record and will now prep for New Englands which takes place at Deerfield Feb 18+19.
