Home-field advantage boosts Sandwich girls soccer into quarterfinals

SANDWICH — Stressful. That’s the only word that the fourth-seeded Sandwich High girls soccer coaches and players alike could find to describe Thursday’s 2-1 golden goal victory over No. 13 West Bridgewater in the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association Division 4 Round of 16. “I don’t know if I have a lot in me,” Sandwich head coach Yvonna Press said. “It was very stressful because they had their chances and we had our chances—and the wind was quite brutal.” The wind, which was whipping at 15 miles per hour from north to south across Gerald F.

The stress of trailing in the state tournament alleviated itself two minutes later after eighth grader Ginger Gaffney scored her first varsity goal to draw Sandwich level. But the tension ramped up as the minutes passed without a goal to break the deadlock. Sandwich dominated the run of play across the second
