The regular season is winding down in soccer and the fun has just begun in field hockey — at least that’s what the Merrimack High School squad hopes after getting a first round upset win on the road.

In regular season soccer, Nashua North ended a victory drought of nine games, while the Alvirne girls won their second straight after ending their year-plus drought recently. Here’s the rundown:
