According to the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association brackets, the Spy Ponders will now receive a first-round bye in the North Division 1 tournament. The Spy Ponders will square off against the winner of the contest between Newburyport and Wilmington.
Hingham jumped on the Spy Ponders early by scoring two goals in the first 3:31 of the contest, according to a report by Wicked Local Arlington. The Spy Ponders later fell to the Hingham Harbormen by a score of 2-1.
