A great first half for the girls they kept the ball in the offensive zone the majority of the half constantly, pressuring Billerica’s strong defense and Goalie.
The second half of the game started just as strong as the first, Alexandra Malley was now in goal and wasn’t afraid to get in the action defending wilmington’s net. The forward line of Arianna Cook, Addyson Hunt, and Eva Boudreau kept Billerica’s defense busy with some strong shots on net.

Alyssa Costantiello had a solid shot, scoring Wilmington’s third goal of the game! Eva Boudreaux made a great pass to Arianna Cook who didn’t hesitate and scored Wilmington’s fourth goal of the game, making the final score 4-1 Wilmington.
