Hill Sets New High School Scoring Record October 23, 2012 Somersworth High School senior striker Rachel Hill broke a 17 yr old record on October 16th when she scored a hat trick in an 8-0 victory over Kingswood. Hill’s three goals, #147, #148, and #149 for her career, tied and broke the old record held by Courtney Banghart of Souhegan (147 goals). Rachel has 30 goals on the season, and has reached or surpassed that mark each of her four years at Somersworth. She also has 32 career assists. Head coach Nick O’Brien presented Hill with the game ball in a presentation that briefly stopped the game after goal #148 during the 5th minute of play. This recent feat can be added to the list of other notable accomplishments Hill has achieved in her young soccer career.

    Nate Hardy Remembrance and Seacoast United On Wednesday, February 4th, 2015, the Club would like to pay tribute to Nate Hardy on the seven year anniversary of his death. Seacoast United players wore Club gear in remembrance of Nate. To view photos please click here! Nate played on Seacoast United's inaugural U14 team in 1992/93. His brother Ben played for the U16's as the two teams laid the foundation for our Club. Their father Dr. Steve Hardy, co-founder of the Club, became Seacoast United's first President at the time and helped guide the Club through its early years. While Nate played soccer for the Club and Oyster River High School, his ambition in life was to join the Navy and become a SEAL. I'd like to believe that his time on the soccer field helped him meet his goal as he simply had the heart of a lion and never ever gave up. On top of that he was a great teammate to his friends on and off the field. Upon joining the Navy, nothing was going to get in his way and with dedication and dogged determination Nate became an elite member of Navy SEAL Team 6. He graduated from Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) in 1998 and served his country proudly for ten years as a SEAL. Nate was killed in action in Iraq on February 4th, 2008 alongside his fellow SEAL Michael Koch of State College, PA. They are buried side by side in Arlington National Cemetery. Seacoast United dedicated Field 1 at the Club's Outdoor Complex in Epping as "Nate's Field" in 2009 and the Seacoast United Foundation has an International Scholarship in Nate's name.
