NORTH ADAMS -- The Drury girls' soccer team had a bit of tough time scoring goals through the first two games, but that all changed Thursday afternoon.

Cori Ghidotti scored the first four goals, three in the first half, and the Blue Devils picked up their first victory, a 7-0 win over Mount Everett.

"She was fierce," coach Molly Meczywor said. "She had a fire in her belly."

In their second game, Drury had trouble playing balls to the corner and working down the sidelines. Against Everett, the Blue Devils played the ball on the ground to each other and worked well off the ball, said Meczywor.

The offense took 20 shots, forcing Everett keeper Samantha Hoover to make 14 saves. Ali Tatro had a quiet afternoon, as she didn't have to make a single save.

Hannah Collier, Chelsea DeGroff and Jenn Monyahan tallied Drury's final three goals in the second half.

"Everything was three, four , five passes," Meczywor said. "We found a lot of open spaces. We were patient and found the open player, and the open player just took really good placement shots."

Greylock girls' soccer

LEE -- Trailing 2-0 at the half, Mount Greylock got a pair of second-half scores to tie Lee, 2-2.

"It was a great game to watch," said Wildcat coach Lauren Finnegan. "We went back and forth with Greylock. I thought we came out firing, and they seemed a little flat. But they came back in the second half."
