The goals are now coming in waves, so any opponent standing in the way of the Lady Dragon offense better have a life jacket on hand. Averaging over four goals a game in their last four wins, the Lady Dragons stepped it up a notch in their first battle of the season with Hingham and destroyed the Harborwomen, 6-0, to run their record to 5-1.
While Hingham looked to be in the game early with a corner kick that was batted away by Duxbury goalie Emily Brook and a direct kick from 25 yards out that made it over the crossbar, the endless Lady Dragon assault on Hingham goalie Katie Walsh proved to be too much. Senior Caitlin Burke got the offense rolling for Duxbury midway through the first half, as she took a pass from junior Melissa Gavin and dribbled around a defender, firing her shot into the far right corner for a 1-0 lead. Burke would return the favor 15 minutes later, as she spotted Gavin heading down the middle of the field and placed her pass perfectly, enabling her partner to bury her shot to Walsh’s right for a 2-0 lead. There was no stopping Coach Emerson Coleman’s fired up offense, as freshman Laura Nee got into the action as well, taking a beautiful feed from Gavin and sliding her shot past Walsh into the far left corner at the 38:44 mark of the first half. The Harborwomen appeared to make a dent in the Duxbury lead opening the second half, but the goal was disallowed, further depressing the Hingham offense that knew it was in for an uphill battle. Sophomore midfielder Lily Peterson ended any comeback hopes for Hingham eight minutes into the half, as she rifled a shot from 10 yards outside the box, catching Walsh flatfooted as she watched the shot elude her and settle in the left corner of the net for a 4-0 Duxbury lead. The Gavin-Burke tandem teamed up one more time, as Gavin took a feed from Burke and toyed with the Hingham defense before beating Walsh for a 5-0 lead, enabling Coleman to clear his bench for the rest of the game and insert Jen Cusick in goal Sophomore Sophie Dubuisson finished off the scoring for the Lady Dragons when she took a pass from senior Riley Mackin and lofted a shot high over Walsh’s head that settled into the back left corner of the net. |
