The team secured a dominant 7-0 victory over No. 15 Northbridge. Hitting a hat trick and providing three assists, Woodward demonstrated her prowess on the field. The game kicked off with an early goal from Olivia Almonte just 2:14 into play. Jenna Richard added a goal and an assist, while Riley Precourt scored once for Dennis-Yarmouth. The Dolphins have maintained a perfect record of shutouts in their first two state tournament games, amassing 15 goals in the process. Their next opponent in the Round of 8 will be No. 7 West Bridgewater, another team yet to allow a goal in their two wins.
