The Four Rivers girls ultimate team came up just short of a state championship on Sunday.

The Otters competed in the Division 1 State Tournament at the Oxbow Marina in Northampton over the weekend and went 3-0 in pool play on Saturday. 

In the knockout rounds on Sunday, Four Rivers opened with a 10-6 win over Lincoln-Sudbury in the quarterfinals and defeated Lexington, 9-8, in the semifinals to reach the championship game where it squared off with fellow-unbeaten Amherst. 

Four Rivers was unable to get past the Hurricanes in the finals, falling 13-6.

In pool play, the Otters beat Northampton (10-6), Somerville (12-5) and Newton North (13-4). 

It was a successful weekend for the Four Rivers boys as well, as the Otters reached the championship game. 

Four Rivers went 3-0 in pool play with wins over Natick (11-3), Masco (11-1) and Lincoln-Sudbury (11-3) to enter the knockout stage unbeaten. The Otters beat Amhest in the quarterfinals (13-5) and Lexington in the semifinals (13-10) but were unable to get past unbeaten Arlington in the title game, Arlington winning 13-8. 

It’s been great seasons for both teams, Terry Plotkin leading the Four Rivers boys to a record of 26-6 and  Julia Fay leading the Otter girls to a record of 27-3. The Four Rivers girls will be traveling to Allentown, Pa. on June 13-14 for the High School National Invitational.

Three players from each team — Cooper Whitney, Kolin Broderick and Russell Herbert from the boys team, Tirz Skelton, Seneca Smith and Sylvia Guillaume from the girls team — were selected for the Massachusetts All-State game on June 6 at Hormel Stadium in Medford.
