BEVERLY, Mass. — The Endicott women's soccer team defeated Suffolk, 4-0, on Wednesday evening in the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Semifinals at Hempstead Stadium.
Grace Jewett (Millis, Mass.) got the Gulls on the board in the 18th minute with a beautiful one-timer strike into the top left corner off a long run from the left wing by Riley Rischitelli (North Brookfield, Mass.).
With nearly less than a minute to play in the first half, Samantha Klimas (North Andover, Mass.) doubled Endicott's lead off a corner kick as her service snuck through a few Suffolk defenders at the near post.
The Gulls' second half insurance tallies came from Elizabeth Healy (Plymouth, Mass.) and Alexandria Dostie (Essex Junction, Vt.) in the 62nd and 77th minutes, respectively.
Healy buried a low screamer from 15 yards out in the bottom right corner of the net via a feed from Jewett, while Dostie slotted home a penalty kick to secure the victory.
