The Brunswick Bruins capped off their dominant season with a commanding 23–8 victory over Choate, securing their 11th consecutive NEPSAC Championship title.

The game opened with Brunswick’s starters setting an unmistakable tone. Neveh Yechiely ’26 broke the ice with a powerful opening goal, followed moments later by Peter Saunders ’27, who converted a steal into a counterattack finish. Jackson Shaw ’28 then took over, netting three goals in the first quarter, while Julio Ubina ’27 added one more to close it out. The Bruins ended the opening frame in full control, leading 7–1.

The second quarter saw the younger Bruins take the pool, but the offense hardly slowed. Crisp passing and unselfish play extended Brunswick’s lead to 15–4 by halftime. In the second half, a mix of lineups kept the tempo high as the Bruins continued to dominate both ends of the pool, maintaining their trademark defensive discipline and offensive creativity.

When the final buzzer sounded, Brunswick had not only sealed a 23–8 win but also extended its remarkable run of success — 11 straight NEPSAC titles. The victory was a fitting conclusion to a season defined by balance, depth, and teamwork.

A special congratulations goes out to the senior class for their leadership and contributions to the program’s continued excellence.

The Brunswick Bruins opened the 2025 New England Championships with a commanding 23–4 victory over Greenwich Country Day School on Saturday at Phillips Exeter Academy.

After a long bus ride north to Exeter, the tournament host, the Bruins took some time to stretch their legs on the beautiful campus before diving into competition. Once in the pool, they wasted no time shaking off the travel fatigue. A crisp warm-up quickly translated into game intensity, as Brunswick stormed out to a 12–1 lead after the first quarter.

Callum Walker ’26 broke the seal with the opening goal, and from there the offense caught fire. Jackson Shaw ’28, Grayson Shaw ’29, Chris Hake ’27, Landon Brilliant ’29, Chris Myott ’29, and Charlie Carroll ’29 each contributed early tallies as the Bruins spread the scoring across the lineup. With the game firmly in hand, Brunswick rotated freely, giving valuable minutes to its younger players and taking a 16–4 lead into halftime.

The defense clamped down the rest of the way, holding GCDS to just one goal per quarter. Freshman goalie Eamon Lavin ’29 anchored the backline with 13 saves, steering Brunswick to a balanced, confident, and convincing performance. The Bruins now advance to the championship match against Choate.
