Fall 2024 Athletics Season Recap
Congratulations to Concord Academy’s fall teams on another successful season. Go Green!
Boys Varsity Soccer
The boys varsity soccer program continued its winning ways and New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC) tournament bid streak! After a slow start, a 13-game winning streak in the middle of the season earned the team the No. 2 seed for the Eastern Independent League (EIL) tournament. The squad cruised to victory with a 4–2 win over No. 4 seed, Pingree School, in the league semifinals, much to the delight of the home crowd. They traveled to the No. 1 seed, Portsmouth Abbey in the finals but fell just short of winning the program’s first EIL tournament championship. The 2024 squad continued the program’s impressive run of excellence by earning its ninth consecutive NEPSAC tournament bid and battled the No. 4 seed, Greens Farms Academy, in the quarterfinals. While CA was unable to pull off the upset, it was yet another strong year for the program overall.
Girls Varsity Volleyball
The girls varsity volleyball team came out of the gate slowly but finished the season with quite a run of wins to earn the program’s first EIL tournament bid since 2017. The squad impressively won six of its last seven matches to earn the No. 4 seed in the EIL tournament. They traveled to the No. 1 seed, Winsor School, for the semifinals and nearly pulled off the upset. Congrats to the program on a breakout year!
Cross-Country
The cross-country teams used the regular season meets to build stamina and prepare for their season-ending championship events. Both teams performed well at the EIL and NEPSAC championships. On the challenging 5K course at Chase Farm Park in Lincoln, R.I., at EILs, the boys placed second and the girls team placed seventh, with over a dozen CA runners setting personal bests. The teams finished the 2024 season on a high note, competing in the NEPSAC Divison III championship meet at the Canterbury School in New Milford, Conn. CA boys varsity placed fourth to earn a spot on the podium, while the boys junior varsity team placed first in the JV race for the second year in a row. CA girls varsity placed 14th, two places higher than the previous year.
Girls Varsity Soccer
Girls varsity soccer experienced a challenging season in which injuries took their toll. Despite not having a fully available roster, the team stayed within striking distance of a top-four finish in the league and an EIL tournament berth throughout the season. Impressively, they put together a late-season rally of three wins in the last four games, including a huge victory on Senior Day over league rival Berwick Academy, but fell just short of the program’s first EIL bid in many years.
Girls Varsity Field Hockey
Under the guidance of a new head coach, Georgia Cassidy, the field hockey team showed great progress throughout the season. After a series of frustrating one-point losses to start the season, the team rattled off four wins in the last five games to finish the season strong. With a strong core of returning players, the team looks forward to picking up where they left off in fall 2025.
Subvarsity Programs
The future appears bright for our fall varsity programs as CA’s four subvarsity teams—boys JV soccer, boys thirds soccer, girls JV soccer, and girls JV volleyball—combined for 40 wins this season, including an unblemished final record for boys JV soccer.
It was another successful fall athletic season by many measures, but most importantly, the athletes had the opportunity to grow as players and teammates and represented CA with pride.
