HHS Sports Roundup: Girls soccer, field hockey post tourney wins

by | Nov 5, 2024 | Featured: Sports, Sports

The Hopkinton High School girls soccer team started the postseason with a bang, posting a 6-0 victory over visiting Shrewsbury on Tuesday evening behind three goals from Maddie Recupero.

The Hillers (16-1-2), seeded seventh in Division 1, next host 10th-seeded Newton North in the Round of 16 on Friday at 4:30 p.m. Newton North (10-7-2) is coming off a 2-1 victory over crosstown rival Newton South.

Recupero opened the scoring 5:41 into the game, breaking through the defense on the left side and finishing with a right-footed shot just inside the left post.

Mairin O’Connor scored four minutes later, and Anagha Kulkarni found the back of net just before 13 minutes had elapsed.

Recupero scored her second goal with 15:17 left in the first and capped her hat trick midway through the second half. It was the senior’s 49th career goal. [Editor’s note: Corrected from 50.]

Sophia Tzouganatos wrapped up the scoring when her corner kick deflected off a defender and into the net late in the game.

Aila Chase played the majority of the game in goal, with Ella Nye coming on for the last 15 minutes.
