WARREN, NJ — On a blustery day at the Hills, the Watchung Hills girls soccer team shut out Millburn, 2-0.
“That was a really solid effort by our players,” said WHRHS head coach Brian Figueriedo. “The conditions were brutal with the wind and the girls did a great job blocking out the conditions and finding a way to win the game. I thought it was our most complete effort of the season and to our kid’s credit, they haven’t stopped working hard despite the results. We’re looking forward to celebrating our seniors on Thursday night.”
The scoring kicked off in the first period when Alexa Goret of Watchung Hills found the back of the net at the 33:00 mark. Goret’s goal was assisted by Olivia Bello, giving Watchung Hills an early edge. Millburn struggled to respond offensively throughout the period, failing to register any goals or significant scoring chances.

Alisha Perez, the goalie for Watchung Hills, demonstrated solid netminding, stopping six shots on goal to preserve the shutout.
Emma Woros, the Millburn goalie, put forth a commendable effort, making 11 saves but ultimately could not secure a win for her team.
