NORTH BRANFORD – H-K’s defense turned in another strong performance and the Cougars got goals from five different players in their third Shoreline victory to start the season.
Maggie Singer got H-K on the board with an assist from Autumn Walton in the 26th minute. Yumi Imai and Kedarjah Lewis also scored in the first half, with Kaitlyn Parri assisting both.
Carolina Conte and Julia Favalora tallied in the second half, with the assists going to Maggie Singer (via corner kick) and Leah Chester. Sophia Torello was in goal for H-K.
“It was a great all-around effort. I’m impressed with every single member of the team,” H-K coach Mike Shea said after the Cougars’ third win to start the season. “We have become known as a scoring team, but we want to gain that type of respect defensively, too.”
“Seeing new members of the team step up has helped us become well-rounded,” Shea added. “We had four sophomores on the scoresheet today and a freshman that led the defensive line. We still have a lot of work to do, but we are heading in the right direction.”
