Host Morse fell to 1-7 on its home Turf on Tuesday and the Shipbuilders are scheduled to visit Winlsow on Thursday.
“We put up a great fight, but fell short,” said Morse coach Stephenie Pinkham. “We dominated the first half of the game. Kaylee Walker and Julia Hart kept the ball moving up allowing Bronwyn Morissette several shots on goal.
“My decision to move Koralei Fifield to center mid allowed us to score in the second half and kept our forward line strong.”
Morse’s defense helped goalie Bryanna Ringrose keep many shots out. Catherine Sener, Marisabel Rodriguez, Allison Plummer, Emma Harrington, and Brittany Kaler all had strong performances.
