Terriers Crush Crusaders

The Terriers came out firing on all cylinders and scored three goals before Holy Cross got on the board in the 6-2 victory Thursday night in the first round of the state tournament.

Rocky Hill was lead by Cara Pizzo who scored three goals in the game. However, according to coach AnnMarie Catania, who was filling in for head coach Bill Pacelia, it was a total team effort from start to finish.

"They came out strong and gave a 110 the entire game. And they worked together as a team the whole game. We were very impressed by them." 

In the first half, the Terriers received goals from Taylor Poulin, Colby Stock, Melaina Aglieco and two from Pizzo. Aglieco and Jennifer Inho each had an assist. Pizzo added her third and final goal late in the second half.

Kayla DosSantos had two goals for Holy Cross, but the second goal was in the second half when the game was already out of reach. Mae Janiga added an assist for Holy Cross.

Rocky Hill moves on to the second round of the tournament and a possible matchup with sixth ranked Tolland.

"We are going to have to come out as strong as we did today," Catania said. "We are going to have to finish. We have to continue working together and giving our best."

The girls soccer team is undefeated at home after probably playing their final home game of the season.
