Golf team maintains momentum, swamps Lawrence for eighth win of the season.
Girls Soccer Tewksbury 2, Lowell 1 The Tewksbury High girls soccer team needed a lift and got it from their top players. The Redmen have been scuffling along in the early part of the season, unable to gather any real momentum. They may have turned the corner Tuesday with a gutsy 2-1 win over Lowell High at the Livingston Street fields. Nicole Chaet scored twice in the first six minutes of the game for Tewksbury, assisted both times by Kelly Quigley. But Lowell battled back, cutting the lead to 2-1 with a goal two minutes into the second half. The Raiders pressed the advantage and kept the Redmen back on their heels much of the last 10 minutes of the game. But Tewksbury keeper Rebecca Davies, backed by a solid defensive corps, held Lowell …

Tewksbury tops Notre Dame Academy, golf team bounces back and girls soccer team loses at Amesbury.
They say revenge is a dish best served cold, but if you ask the Tewksbury High girls volleyball team, revenge is a dish best served right in the other guy's kitchen. After blowing a two set lead in their own home gym and losing to Notre Dame Academy, 3-2 back on Sept. 9, the Tewksbury girls traveled to Tyngsboro in a downpour Friday evening determined to even the score, in spite of having to play in NDA's crowded, noisy band-box of a gymnasium. But on this night, neither rain nor noise nor obnoxious vuvuzelas could deter the Redmen from the swift completion of their appointed task, and coach Jim Ray's charges erased last month's bad memories with a convincing, 3-0 win over NDA. "That first loss to them definitely hurt," Ray said. "It was …
