Nauset girls soccer absolutely locked up their Cape & Islands Atlantic Division play, pulling away from Martha’s Vineyard with a commanding 4-1 victory. Talk about a statement win! The Warriors, now sitting at an impressive 12-3-3 overall and 9-2-1 in league play, made sure everyone knew who was boss in their final division game against a Martha’s Vineyard squad that falls to 9-9.
Warriors Unleash the Offense
It took a little while for both teams to get going, but once Nauset broke through, there was no looking back. The first goal came in the 29th minute, and it was a beauty: Vivienne Ryder found Maddie Coccoro, who then turned on the jets, blazing 50 yards down the sideline before calmly chipping it over the goalie. Seven minutes into the second half, Caroline Bothfeld got her first of the night, taking a pass from Chloe Burns and burying it to double the lead. Bothfeld wasn’t done, adding her second goal in the 68th minute off a perfectly placed free kick from Peyton Hill. But seriously, the goal that blew everyone away? Freshman Talia Nadeau. She went on an insane 70-yard counterattack, dribbling through not one, not two, but four defenders before slotting it home at the near post. What a way to cap the scoring, right? Martha’s Vineyard did manage a consolation goal in the 79th minute, but the win was already secured.
