Needing to rack up points to cement a spot in the state tournament, the Lynn Classical girls soccer team answered the bell with a 6-0 victory over Revere. The Rams featured six different goal scorers. Jayla Blevins and Ciara Collins scored their first varsity goals while Mary Collins, Olivia Pedro, Abby Ierardi and Mackenzie Shea also found the back of the net.
“It was great to see different girls get on the scoreboard,” Classical coach Mark Ierardi said. “We stressed consistency. We consistently possessed the ball, moved it smartly and made great passes.”

Classical needs six points to clinch a state tournament berth with five games remaining.
