Drury Girls Fall at Rockport

ROCKPORT, Mass. – The Rockport girls soccer team scored four goals in the final 10 minutes to pull away for a 6-0 win over Drury in the second round of the Division 5 State Tournament on Thursday.

 

The winning goal came in the first five minutes, and Rockport tacked on a second goal midway through the first half.

 

“We came out strong in the second half, and a physical game ensued,” Drury coach Jason Howland said. “Rockport’s back line was difficult to break and get some quality shots.”

 

Howland praised senior Ashlyn Hayden for a strong season in helping lead the Blue Devils to a Western Massachusetts title game and the Sweet 16 of the state tournament.

 

“I’m proud of how our team played this year,” he said. “For a young team, we competed and played hard, and I’m excited for the future.”
