MONDAY SCHOLASTICS: On a day of steady rain, SHS deluge comes after halftime



SOUTHINGTON — It was only a matter of a time.

On a night in which they piled up 32 shots, the Southington Lady Knights mostly had to be wary of creeping frustration in Monday night’s CCC interdivisional girls soccer game at Fontana Field against Manchester.

At halftime, the game was still scoreless.

Second half, different story. The Blue Knights connected five times and pulled away to a 5-0 victory that has them at 2-2 after an uncharacteristic 0-2 start to the season.

Claire O’Neil and Riley Prozzo both factored into three goals, including on strikes by each other. O’Neil scored twice, one off an assist from Prozzo. In turn, O’Neil assisted on a goal by Prozzo.

There was plenty of give-and-take on this night. Prozzo set up Taylor Walwyn, who assisted O’Neil on her first goal.

Julia Rusiecki got the Blue Knights rolling off a feed from Gianna Mathews.

Final shot totals were 32-2 for Southington. Sophia Gonzalez was the keeper for SHS. Manchester’s Kelsey Kuligowski had a valiant outing, making 13 stops.
