Local Roundup: Sunapee Girls Doing a Lot by Allowing Very Little

Sunapee — Strong defensive play remained the hallmark of the Sunapee High girls soccer team following a 3-0 defeat of Moultonborough on Monday night, the Lakers’ sixth shutout in eight games so far this season.

Sunapee gave up a single goal in each of the first two games of the season and has not been scored upon since, improving its record to 7-0-1. The one draw came in a 0-0 deadlock against visiting Gorham on Sept. 9.

The Lakers controlled play in the first half, according to coach Myles Cooney, building a 2-0 lead by halftime. Sydney Clark scored on a header off a Maddie Austin cross seven minutes into the game. Hannah Cooney followed with a long-range strike near the end of the first half. Kate Frederick stretched the field in the second half with a 40-yard pass right to Austin to set up Sunapee’s top scorer for a goal.

“We played a lot of people today, kept a clean sheet and won a game we can learn from,” coach Cooney said. “Once again, I tip my hat to the kids in the back. They keep the ball in the offensive end, pass well and step in front of their marks.”

Keeper Suzanne Rickard made two saves for the shutout. Austin leads the Lakers with 16 goals. Sunapee hosts Wilton-Lyndeborough on Thursday.
