Team Three 6, Tewskbury 3
Westford Girls U10 Team 3 played a great game against a slightly older Tewksbury team on a hot day at the Frasca Fields in Tewksbury. Audrey Smagula had an excellent first half in goal stopping several shots while goals by Erin Keefe, Kassidy Carmichael, and Marie Morris put the team up 3-0 in the first ten minutes of the game. Tewksbury and Westford alternated scoring during the rest of the half, each team adding two goals. Kassidy Carmichael and Olivia Dempster scored for Westford. As the morning heated up, the scoring slowed down. Tewksbury scored the first goal in the second half and Caroline Mallio scored the last goal for Westford at about the 33 minute mark.
During the game, the Westford players showed great versatility by each playing more than one position. Katie Krangle had a good day playing both offense and defense breaking up several Tewksbury scoring chances and Ava Russo helped control the center of the field with good play at middie. Sophie Krauss made several strong attacks from the wing and, at one point, Martha Khusid ran down a Tewksbury breakaway, stole the ball, and dribbled back to the Tewksbury end for a shot on goal.
