WESTFIELD – The St. Mary High School football team, er, correct that, boys’ soccer team sacked Franklin Tech, 10-0, Thursday at Westfield Middle School North.
Zac Girard recorded a hat trick, Colin Blake notched two goals, and five Saints – Nick Garde, Joey Collins, Billy Lamarande, Patrick Boyle, and Seamus Butler – scored one goal apiece in a blowout.
Alex Parentela and Kevin Rockwal each had two assists, and Garde, Butler, Collins, and Jake Viamari had one apiece.
Blake (5 saves) and Drew Collins (3) split time in goal for St. Mary in the first and second half, respectively, for a combined shutout.
“It was a good all-around effort for the guys,” St. Mary coach Andrew Martin said. “Everybody got to play and get in the game, which was good, especially for the younger and inexperienced guys.
