Carleigh Hall sparks Dighton-Rehoboth girls’ soccer

Dighton-Rehoboth qualified for the Division 3 South girls’ soccer tournament with a 0-0 draw against Somerset Berkley Friday afternoon.

On Monday, however, the Falcons were on the verge of their second straight scoreless game until freshman midfielder Carleigh Hall delivered the game’s lone goal with 15 minutes remaining in a 1-0 victory against visiting Greater New Bedford.

“She provides the spark in the middle,” Dighton-Rehoboth coach Trish Madsen said of Hall. “Being in a [scoring] rut doesn’t feel good.”

Playing in her third game since returning from a concussion, Hall carried the ball into the Falcons’ attacking third before chipping a shot over the keeper from 20 yards out.

While the Falcons have struggled to create offense over the past couple games, the defense has hit its stride at the right time.

Junior keeper Meaghan Reed has recorded four straight shutouts, thanks to the work in the back from freshman Bella LaBree, sophomore Brenna Doehler, junior Ashley Damon, and senior captain Sadie Pratt.

That balance of classes created a sense of unity among the entire team.

“Our defense is playing strong together as a unit,” said Madsen. “The backline has really taken care of business.”

The victory was a boost for a D-R squad that faces three challenging foes (Greater New Bedford, Old Rochester, and Seekonk) that could shape the South Coast title race.

“My young team will be faced with a challenge,” said Madsen. “Old Rochester is extremely talented with a lot of experience. It’s a good challenge and hopefully they will be up for it.”
