PHOTOS: North Andover 5th Graders Defeat Pentucket

The North Andover Girls 5th grade select soccer team used a smothering defense to shut out Pentucket 4-0 Saturday at Foster Field.

Riley Cinquegrano got the scoring started when she rifled a penalty kick into the top corner following a take down of Caroline Evangelista in the box.

Christina Farmer followed with a high blast from just inside midfield to make it 2-0 at the half.  North Andover made it 3-0 when Peyton Sportelli scored on the rebound of a shot by Molly Connolly.

Maggie Phillips, whose solid first half goaltending helped preserve the shut out, also finished off the scoring when she took a pass from Izzy Ceraso and buried a one timer in the back of the Pentucket goal.
