Attleboro girls’ soccer earned a 2-0 victory over Taunton, highlighted by an unexpected goal from goalkeeper Ciara O’Driscoll, who converted a penalty kick for her first varsity goal.
Attleboro got off to a strong start, with Madison Dennehy scoring the opening goal to give the Bombardiers an early advantage.
The Bombardiers later added to their lead after freshman Mallory Kettel drew a penalty kick. Head coach Matt Rodrigues turned to O’Driscoll to take the shot, and the goalkeeper delivered, burying the penalty to make it 2-0.
The goal marked a memorable milestone for O’Driscoll, who typically plays between the posts but stepped up to contribute on the offensive end.
Attleboro held on for the shutout victory, keeping Taunton off the scoreboard and securing a strong result.
The Bombardiers will look to carry that momentum into their next matchup when they host Canton on Thursday.
