It is wins like last week’s 3-2 thriller over visiting Walpole that has allowed the Norwood girls’ soccer team to stay in contention for the Bay State Conference Herget Division title.

"It was a great win for our squad," Norwood head coach Jay Dupuis said, after his team climbed to 6-1-1. "We fought hard to come back and secure our sixth win of the season."

Dupuis particularly praised the play of junior defender Colleen Glover.

"She won any free-ball that was close to her," the coach said

Dupuis also applauded the efforts of fellow defenders Susan Orlando, Meghan Underhill and Katie Johnson.

The Mustangs rallied after trailing, 1-0, at the half. Just four minutes into the second stanza, junior star forward Cory Ryan scored on a breakaway on a pass from Brianna Quintiliani.

Soon after, the Rebels took the lead, after converting on a rebound. But Ryan evened the tally again, taking a nice feed from Megan Folan.

Folan got the game-winner when she chipped the ball over the Walpole keeper’s head into the far corner, as Ryan initiated with a pretty assist.
