Everyone knew going into Saturday's game with Longmeadow that it was going to be a battle. LM beat Medfield twice last year, once 16-0 at home and the other in the state championship game. This year it was time to get even.
Longmeadow struck first, only to see Medfield get it right back. That was the story of the game and no team had more than a two-goal lead at any point in the game. LM held a 6-4 at the half and looked to be somewhat in control of the game.
A well placed shot off a nifty move by Nigel Reiff helped stem the tide in favor of the Warriors late in the third quarter.
After three quarters, the game was tied 8-8. The teams traded goals in the fourth before Jack Isaf scored the eventual game winner on a bounce shot right in front of the crease with not much time left. That put Medfield up 10-9 on Isaf's third of the game. This was the one and only time Medfield led all game.
Goalie Robert Treiber was a big factor in the comeback effort. He made 15 saves, most of which came down the stretch and in the clutch.
With the win, Medfield improved to 13-1-0 and more impressively ended Longmeadow's 37 game win streak in the process
