H.S. Field Hockey: Ashley Mathieu, Kaitlyn Leclerc collect two goals each as Leavitt rolls
Or maybe all the credit goes to young, fearless Maranacook for being eager to break a sweat, but Leavitt didn’t look like itself in the first half of Tuesday’s KVAC field hockey game. “We’re usually a second-half team.
