Call it another game, another tournament upset for No. 21 Bishop Fenwick. After defeating No. 12 Norwell, 3-2, last week, the Crusaders battled No. 5 Belchertown Monday evening.
You could say Fenwick is showing all of Division 3 that it’s better than its ranking suggests, as it defeated Belchertown in a 5-0 sweep to advance to the Elite 8 of Division 3. Fenwick will wait and see who it will face in the next round (winner of No. 4 Old Rochester-No. 13 Danvers).
