Fall 2025 Athletics Season Recap
Congratulations to Concord Academy’s fall teams on another successful season and Chandler Bowl victory.
Go Green!
Cross-Country
The cross-country teams enjoyed a very successful season! On the challenging 5K course at Chase Farm Park in Lincoln, R.I., at the Eastern Independent League (EIL) championships, the boys earned the EIL title for the second time in the past three years, and the girls team placed sixth, with over 30 CA runners setting personal bests. The teams finished the 2025 season with a strong showing in the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC) Division III championship meet at Highland Park in Attleboro, Mass. CA boys varsity placed fifth, just short of a spot on the podium, while the boys junior varsity team placed first in the junior varsity race for the third year in a row. CA girls varsity placed sixth, eight places higher than the previous year and their best since 2015.
Boys Varsity Soccer
The boys varsity soccer program continued its winning ways and NEPSAC tournament bid streak! The team nearly went undefeated, dropping only one game, in the EIL regular season schedule, and earned the No. 3 seed for the league tournament. The squad was unable to overcome the No. 2 seed and eventual EIL tournament champ, The Wheeler School, in the semifinal game, but went on to earn the program’s 10th consecutive NEPSAC tournament bid. They battled the No. 4 seed, Millbrook School, holding them scoreless deep into the second half 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 had a season of just-misses with multiple heartbreaking five-set losses. A clear highlight was a 3–0 win over CA’s archrival, Pingree School, in the finale of CA’s Chandler Bowl victory, which avenged a loss to them at home earlier in the season.
Girls Varsity Soccer
Girls varsity soccer was a very young team this fall. After a slow start and some challenging stretches, the team’s steady improvement resulted in some hard-earned late-season victories. The program will look to build on its youthful foundation next fall.
Girls Varsity Field Hockey
The field hockey team showed great progress throughout the season. After a slow start and some very close losses mid-season, the team finished strong, posting a tie or win in three of their last five games. The program returns a strong core for the 2026 season!
Subvarsity Programs
The future appears bright for CA’s fall varsity programs as the 2025 subvarsity teams—boys junior varsity soccer, boys thirds soccer, and girls junior varsity volleyball—all posted winning records.
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.
