FOXBORO, MA — Foxboro opened its Division 3 postseason with a 4-0 victory over Apponequet, overcoming an outstanding performance by Lakers goalkeeper Ashley Smith, who turned aside 25 shots to keep her team within striking distance.
The Warriors broke through when Lauren Share found the back of the net off an assist from Brynn Allen. Allen quickly followed with a goal of her own, giving Foxboro a 2-0 advantage.
Despite Foxboro’s offensive pressure and numerous scoring opportunities, Smith continued to deliver impressive saves, repeatedly denying the Warriors and keeping Apponequet in the game.
Foxboro finally added some breathing room in the fourth quarter, scoring twice more to secure the shutout victory. Allen capped the scoring with a penalty stroke, reaching another milestone in the process as she surpassed 100 career points.
Allen’s offensive production, combined with Share’s opening goal and a determined team effort, helped Foxboro advance with a convincing postseason win.
While Smith’s 25-save performance stood out for Apponequet, the Warriors’ balanced attack and fourth-quarter finish proved too much to overcome as Foxboro moved forward in the Division 3 tournament.
