PROVIDENCE — Cumberland missed a chance to improve its playoff seeding on Monday when it played a 1-1 tie with Hope High, which brought a 1-13-2 record into the regular season finale.
“We didn’t help ourselves today,” Cumberland coach John Lopes said afterwards. “We had a chance to move up in the seedings if we won and got some help from someone else but we played flat for all but about five minutes of today’s game.”
