Danvers played well early, but Brookline settled in on their home field and put a lot of pressure on the Danvers end throughout.  Brookline opened the scoring in the 16th minute.  The hosts got their second goal with just three minutes to play in the 1/2.  Sr's Addi McCarty and Lila Flynn defended well and Sr's Ashley Freitas and DeAnna Figueiredo performed well in the midfield.

​

"Giving up a second goal right before halftime was tough.  We weren't creating a lot of chances ourselves so to go down by 2 was tough."

 

Brookline scored only a minute into the second half to go up by 3.  They added one more in the 14th minute.  Gk Taylor Landry made 15 saves on the afternoon.

​

"Unfortunately, we didn't show up with the same energy and intensity that we played with on Wednesday at Masco.  Brookline is a good team that plays an extremely difficult schedule, but I felt we didn't play up to the level were capable of.  We'll have to put it behind us because we have 2 huge home games coming up against 2 very strong Swampscott and Marblehead teams."

​

The Falcons got positive play off the bench from So's Kaitlyn Rosa, Sophia Blodgett, Flavia Locilento, and Cassidy Randall played a physical game in the back.

​

"I loved the play of some of our younger players.  They're hungry to contribute and they left their mark on the field today."
