DeConto Veterans Memorial Stadium, made its impact felt. Gusts even surpassed 20 mph. West Bridgewater’s only goal was a direct result of the wind when the ball skipped awkwardly off the turf and over Sandwich goalkeeper Rena Mooney’s head for Sophia Hulme to fire from point-blank range into the roof of the net. 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.
