Just seven years after he was pitching at Walpole High, Cam Schlittler became the first former Massachusetts schoolboy to win a Cy Young since Billerica’s Tom Glavine in 1998.

That helped make up for a quiet night before Thursday’s stacked second-round soccer slate. But as always, there was still plenty going on, including a National Signing Day as many Division 1 recruits made their commitments official.

We’ve got two school records, an ISL championship, two second-round soccer upsets, and more college updates. Let’s get into it.

1. Milestones

▪ When Granby senior Kalli White scored in the 12th minute of a 4-0 Division 5 girls’ soccer win over St. John Paul II, she had no idea she had just set the program record for career points. Her 135th broke the mark of 134 set by Nora Young.

▪ Dartmouth girls’ volleyball freshman Addison Tieu broke the school’s single-season record for aces with 79, surpassing Gaby Velazquez’s total from 2022, during a 3-1 loss to Melrose.

2. Crowning champs

BB&N captured its sixth consecutive ISL girls’ volleyball championship with a 3-0 sweep of Middlesex, sparked by 10 kills from Gwen Watson and six from Ela Gonzalez.

3. The upsets

▪ Sixth-seeded Holliston became the highest-seeded team bounced from the boys’ soccer tournament when it lost, 2-1, to No. 11 Revere in the Division 2 second round, with senior Jeronimo Agudelo Alvarez providing the Patriots with a pair of second-half goals.

▪ Similarly, sixth-seeded Andover became the highest-seeded girls’ volleyball team sent home when it fell, 3-1, to 11th-seeded Bishop Feehan — just as it had when the teams met on Oct. 26. Mia Barnes (13 kils) and Brooke Mitchell (19 assists) led the Shamrocks into the Division 1 quarterfinals.

▪ Tenth-seeded Tewksbury girls’ soccer needed double-overtime to shock No. 7 Hanover, 3-2, in the Division 3 second round on Sophia Nazarro’s goal with three minutes remaining before a shootout.

4. Best finishes

▪ After equalizing with six minutes to play on a triple header that he played off the crossbar, 13th-seeded West Bridgewater’s Drew Spadea delivered the winner six minutes into overtime, lifting the second-seeded Wildcats (17-2-1) to a 2-1 Division 4 victory over No. 15 South Hadley (8-7-5) in the second round. West Bridgewater has won 13 in a row.

▪ Addie Bernazzani slotted home the winning goal off a cross from Brynn Nickley in overtime to lift eighth-seeded Cardinal Spellman girls’ soccer over No. 9 Bishop Fenwick, 3-2, in the Division 3 second round.

▪ Sixth-seeded Milton survived a field hockey shootout with No. 11 Norwood, winning, 3-2, thanks to shootout tallies from Elise Hinckle, Maeve Lovett, and Taylor Scully, who lifted the ball with her stick and bounced it all the way to the net where she popped it over the goalie for the clincher.

5. Nine stars of the day

Jeronimo Agudelo Alvarez, Revere — The senior not only scored both goals for 11th-seeded Revere in an upset of No. 6 Holliston, but he saved a potential goal off the line in the 2-1 second-round boys’ soccer victory.

Reese Bent, Dover-Sherborn — The junior didn’t stop with a hat trick, adding an assist in a 5-0 Division 3 second-round field hockey victory against Ursuline.

Calvin Frey, Medfield — The junior was unstoppable, pouring in four goals for the Warriors in a 6-0 Division 3 second-round win over Foxborough.

Sidney Heavey, Medfield — Hours after being named an All-American, the Central Florida-bound senior netted five goals in an 8-0 Division 3 second-round girls’ soccer rout of Medway.

Ava Johnston and Maddy Campbell, Barnstable — Johnston, a senior, hammered 31 kills, and Campbell, a sophomore, found her for many of those with a season-high 50 assists as the Red Hawks won a second-round girls’ volleyball match with Norwood, 3-1.

Lilah MacQuarrie, Duxbury — The senior netted a hat trick for the Dragons in a 4-0 Division 2 girls’ soccer second-round win over Northampton.

Analise Pinto, Hopedale — The senior factored into 80 percent of her team’s goals, scoring three times and assisting once in a 5-0 Division 5 girls’ soccer win over Rising Tide Charter in the second round.

Mia Rodolosi, Gloucester — The junior couldn’t stop scoring, delivering four goals in a 5-1 Division 3 second-round field hockey win over Falmouth.

7. College corner

▪ Westfield State sophomore Caroline Andrade was selected as the MASCAC field hockey Player of the Year after setting a single-season school record with 25 goals. She added 19 assists for 69, besting the previous school record for points by 15.

Westfield State sophomore Kacey Curran, a Durfee graduate, and Lee Gould, a Algonquin graduate, were named to the first team. Curran finished with 15 goals and 33 points and Gould started 20 games on defense, finishing with three goals. Junior Annalise Lopes, a Plymouth North graduate, was named to the second team.

▪ Connecticut College freshman Danica Zicha, a Belmont graduate, was tabbed the NESCAC women’s soccer Rookie of the Year while also nabbing a spot on the all-conference second team. She led the Camels with 15 points, scoring seven times.

▪ UMass Dartmouth junior Claudio Ramos, a Greater New Bedford graduate, and Matthew Suprenard, a Dighton-Rehoboth graduate, were both named to the All-Little East Conference second team for men’s soccer. Ramos led the Corsairs with five goals, and Suprenard was part of a potent back line that, at one point, held opponents scoreless for 374 consecutive minutes.

▪ Dartmouth sophomore Anna Leschley, a Brookline graduate, was unanimously named First Team All-Ivy for a second consecutive season. Leschly, who played every minute of every game, was part of a Big Green defense that posted 10 shutouts, allowed the fewest goals in the Ivy League, and the fourth-fewest goals in Division 1.
