The Hillers Girls Varsity Soccer defeated Lexington 1-0 on Friday night to advance to the round of 16 in the MIAA state tournament.

Hopkinton jumped out to an early lead. In the fifth minute of the game, forward Georgie Clarke received a pass from midfielder Madison Recupero near the 18-yard box. Clarke dribbled from left to right, shaking two defenders, and sending a rocket of a shot into the back of the net. The Hillers never looked back, dominating possession for the rest of the game and limiting Lexington to a handful of shots.

In the video below, coach Tom Skiba breaks down the Hillers strategy and keys to victory.

The HGVS next faces the 18-0 Bishop Feehan or Waltham on Thursday, November 10. TBA.
