By Micah Hauben, NHS Director of Athletics Girls Soccer After getting the No. 20 seed in the MIAA Division I South Tournament, the Rockets earned a Saturday afternoon trip to take on Hingham High School, Nov. 6. After an even first 50 minutes of play that saw the visitors down 1-0, Needham was able to tie the game up 1-1. The Rockets found the back of the goal again later in the second half to go up 2-1 and seemed to have the game in hand with only seconds to play when a high loose ball in front of Needham's goal was tipped in just past the goalie. As difficult a situation as a young team can face, the girls stepped up and fought through two more scoreless 10 minute overtime periods to move the game into the shoot-out round. Senior …
