• 5/6 Girls Soccer dominated Duxbury on Saturday, September 27, with a 5-0 win at home. Great passing and crosses led to goals scored by Willa Britton, who netted three, and Frankie Rockett and Sydney O’Brien with one each. Assists came from Charlotte Ward, Emma Medina, and Magnolia Harbin.

• 7/8 Boys Soccer pummeled Hingham at home on Saturday, September 27 under the lights. Right before halftime, Henry Littlefield belted the ball up to the opposing end, where Ethan Medina buried it in the back of the net, ending the scoreless half right before the whistle. Hull continued the upward trajectory by scoring three more goals, two from Tristan Misdea and one from Billy Littlefield, shattering the Hingham defensive line and any hopes of them clawing their way back. Hull’s defensive back line was a force of nature; no ball was unmanned or passed by this team. Jack O’Mara, Cody Miller, Slava Rzhevskii, PK Gunderson, and Liam Fahey manned the decks and fought tooth and nail to prevent any goal from entering their zone. In addition, Logan Pergola and Charlie Montgomery held up the defensive line as needed. Men of the match were Billy Littlefield who started in goal, usually plays defense, and this week played offense, scoring one of the four goals. Also mentioned is Jack O’Mara for continuously being able to read the ball and being in the right place at the right time. Very special mention to Derek DelGallo for being a relentless and tireless attacking force on the back line and ensuring all balls were swept out of our half. Last but not least, Tristan Misdea for scoring two of the four goals and for always showing up, scoring, pushing, and grinding down the opposing defensive line.
