Hopkinton’s girls’ soccer program is rolling through the season with a 9-1 record as the Hillers continue a two-game winning streak. Last week’s 2-1 wins over Dover-Sherborn and Medway showcased Hopkinton’s ability to win tight contests and grind through defensive battles, both hallmarks of a playoff-ready side. The Hillers currently sit at No. 7 in the MIAA D1 girls soccer power rankings and have displayed balanced play from midfield to defense.
After a tough 3-0 loss to a powerful Medfield unit, Hopkinton responded with back-to-back victories that reflected sound tactical adjustments and improved finishing in the final third. The team’s rotations have been tight, cross-field passing has opened running lanes, and defenders have provided the right pressure to create turnovers in the attacking third.
Tonight’s matchup with Dedham offers Hopkinton a chance to continue its momentum. Dedham enters with a solid 5-5-2 ledger, but Hopkinton’s recent results make them the clear favorites. The Hillers will look to keep their composure in tight moments, rely on disciplined defending, and pick their opportunities in transition.
Hopkinton’s mix of solid structure and opportunistic finishing is what keeps them near the top of the rankings. If they continue to manage games the way they have over the last two wins, Hopkinton should remain on pace for a deep postseason run.
