Throughout the game Scituate played at a quicker pace than Johnston, which kept Johnston off-balance, and the Spartans capitalized on their opportunities.
With about 10 minutes left in the first half, sophomore Katherine Entwistle expanded the lead to 3-0, and Talia Pino added a goal in the second half to give the Ladt Spartans the win.
"We have a lot of speed up front with my forwards," Scituate head coach, Robert Parmenter said. "Controlling the midfield tonight was great, because it allowed us to feed them and take advantage of their speed."
With the win, Scituate improves to 1-5-1 in Division I. Johnston's record dropped to 2-4-1 in D-III.
"It was nice to get a victory because we had been struggling this year," Parmenter added.
