-Assumption added insurance goals at the 38:50 and 62:16 marks in the all-around effort. Jeremy Martin (Hopedale, Mass. / Hopedale) flipped a ball over the goalkeeper and into the back of the net at the 38:50 mark for his second of the year and Jason Lages (Edgartown, Mass. / Martha's Vineyard Regional) sent a penalty kick into the bottom right corner of the net for the 3-0 lead.
