Brookline High field hockey shut out Needham 2-0 on Wednesday, Oct. 7, at Harry Downes Field, stretching the Warriors' winning streak to three games.

Molly Schroder and Zoe Arthur each scored for Brookline, with Ellie Haberkern picking up both assists, according to the team's account on X.

That's three wins in a week.

The shutout capped a strong stretch for coach Emily Hunt's squad. Brookline beat Arlington 3-1 on Friday, Oct. 2, then blanked Weymouth 5-0 on Monday, Oct. 5, before handling the Rockets on Oct. 7. The Warriors designated the Needham game a "shoulder check" game day, a mental health awareness initiative promoted by the program.
