Girls' Soccer Playoff Game Postponed to Saturday.
Nor'easter pushes game to Saturday morning at 10 a.m. in Lynn, to join girls' swimming and cross country to see action on Nov. 10.
The nor'easter that swept through the region bringing a blanket of snow and wind gusts also blew into the air the carefully-laid match schedule for the Div. II North girls' soccer playoffs.
The result is that Belmont High School's semi-final match with Newburyport High School set for today at 5:30 p.m. as been called off, postponed to Saturday, Nov. 10.
Now the fan base that follows the girls will need to get up extra early Saturday as the MIAA has scheduled the match to take place at the ungodly hour of 10 a.m, according to the tournament website.
