Lincoln-Sudbury reaps dividends from mid-season adjustment in Division 1 women’s soccer win over Woburn

The trio scored all four goals as 15th-ranked Lincoln-Sudbury beat 18th-ranked Woburn, 4-0, in a first-round tournament clash. The Warriors (11-7-1) will face No. 2 Wellesley (15-3-1) at a date and time to be announced.

“They are a really special group, very technical front to back,” Wentworth said. “They never gave up. If a team does that, you can’t even catch your breath to try to compete. I really give them credit for going out there and having their best game in the biggest game of the season.

Alexa, a sophomore, opened the scoring just 10 minutes later, finishing off a cross from her sister.

“I thought Ella (Ryan) was going to cross it, but when (Averie) got it and I was there, I was just placing it,” Alexa said.

Morrissey made his tenacious presence felt in the second half. Two minutes after the break, Morrissey dispossessed a defender before firing a shot over the crossbar and 20 yards out for a truly spectacular goal. Twenty-three minutes later, she added her second goal, putting her body on an Averie corner.

“Inside the box I’m pretty strong and it’s easy for me to win the ball and score, so it worked out well,” Morrissey said.

Averie, a Boston University commit, capped her two assists with a goal of her own, firing a shot from the right side of the box onto the crossbar and inside.

“I thought the whole game I was really close,” Averie said. “I hit the crossbar earlier. In the last home game, I really wanted to score. A girl came up, I saw an opening and I hit her.

Freshman center back Eva Martinelli stabilized a back line that was formidable throughout the game. Wentworth was proud of his team’s performance.

“It’s a good time to have your best game of the season.”
