Besnard made 13 saves while Allie Hunt earned the shutout for Pittsfield, stopping five shots.
"It was a well-played game," said Generals coach Andy Waluszko. "Greylock did a good job defensively. ... They did a good job of preventing us from getting quality shots. Margot made some really good saves."

"It was our being patient and being confident," Taconic coach John Flynn said. "In our losses, we just panic. We used our field to our advantage."

Drury boys' soccer
NORTH ADAMS -- Claudio Belez scored 42 seconds into the second half to push Pittsfield in front by two goals and the Generals beat Drury 5-1.
Cesear Miranda had a goal and an assist in the first half to help Pittsfield to a 2-0 before a personnel switch for Drury led to a goal off a corner kick. Kodey Bryce had been taking the corners, but was moved into the box. It paid off when he made a near-post run and timed it perfectly to redirect the ball past keeper Bahati Mweze. But that was all the Blue Devils could get.
The early second-half goal was a killer.
"It definitely was because we were playing very, very well," Drury coach Greg Caproni said. "It kind of hurts, but the thing with this game is this is the first game they played up for all 80 minutes. They just kept pushing [Thursday]."
