2021 Fall Athletics Highlights g g Last Fall saw the long-awaited return of an entire season of competition across all sports. The campus was swarming with student-athletes as they practiced, competed, cheered, and supported each other. Our athletes and coaches clicked back into gear as if they had never been away, with five Varsity sports and five Junior-Varsity sports at full capacity, hosting games and attending away trips. Field Hockey and Volleyball teams led the way with post-season participation. Field Hockey qualified for the NEPSAC Class B Tournament. The #5 seed, following a 12-5-0 record, the team lost a fiercely fought quarter-final, 2-1, versus a stellar Thayer Academy team. In Courtney Collins debut season as Head Coach, Volleyball advanced to the NEPSAC Class C Tournament as the #3 seed with a 144-0 record. Following a triumphant 3-1 quarter-final victory, Cushing finally fell to #2 seed and eventual champions, St. Luke's School.
