SOUTHWICK – It took the Southwick High School field hockey team just as long to take their positions on the field for the start of the game as it did to score their first goal Thursday.
Southwick scored early and often, finding the back of the net six times in a 6-0 shutout of visiting Pioneer Valley Regional School.
Southwick’s Alyssa Pompi scored 48 seconds into Thursday’s contest. Pompi also delivered an assist.
Emily Martin contributed one goal and two assists for Southwick, while Rams’ Alex Grimaldi, Gabby Houle, Devan Fox and Jayden Wilson each had a score.
Southwick goalie Clare Stratton made five saves to earn a shutout.
