WESTFIELD – Agawam rallied from an early deficit to defeat host Westfield 2-1 in high school girls’ soccer game Friday.
Sarah Carron scored two goals to lift the Brownies on the road.
Westfield led from the outset on a penalty kick from Erin McDermott midway through the first half. A short time later, McDermott had another PK. This time, though, Agawam goalie Jenna Beach guessed right to make the save. She finished with seven stops.
Carron scored the game-tying goal in the 38th minutes, and the game-winner in the second half.
Westfield goalies Jessica Healey and Lindsay Cousins combined for nine saves.
