Sprague’s Four Goals Finishes Off Bunker Hill

BROCKTON, Mass. --- Freshman Shelby Sprague (Stoughton) put away four goals, two in each half, to keep the Massasoit women's soccer team undefeated with a 5-0 win over Region XXI foe Bunker Hill on Monday at Warrior Field.

Massasoit (6-0-1) led 2-0 at the break, as Sprague scored on a header off a cross from Delmy Brooks (Brockton) and a through ball pass from Krista Woodworth (Norton). Both goals came in the first 15 minutes of action.

After outshooting the Bulldogs 17-1 in the first half, the Warriors continued their attack on the goal after halftime. Sprague struck in the 48^th minute off another cross from Brooks and later Silvia Sosa (New Milford, N.J.) connected for her first collegiate goal on a breakaway set up by Gina Nutting (Rockland).

Sprague rounded out the scoring with her fourth goal off a cross from fellow Stoughton native Courtney Wagner in the 88^th minute of play, for her team-high 18^th goal of the season.

Laura Ellis (Raynham/Bristol-Plymouth Voc) made one stop in goal for the shutout, marking the team's fourth clean sheet of the season.

The Warriors have now won four in a row and outscored the opposition 18-1 over that stretch.

Massasoit will step out of league play in its next match, hosting New Hampshire Technical Institute (NHTI) on Wednesday at 4 p.m.
