NORTH ATTLEBORO - Colin Goodwin kept making the saves, while Diego DaSilva and Toby Berkowitz kept clearing the ball away and that defense enabled the North Attleboro High boys' soccer team to stop previously-unbeaten Foxboro High 2-0 Monday in a Hockomock League match.

Senior midfielder Sam Ocel scored both goals for the Rocketeers, one in each half, as North improved to 4-1-1 on the season.

"Colin made some good saves," North coach Steve Santos praised the work of his netminder, who totaled six saves. The Warriors (4-1-1) also generated three corner kicks, but most of their shots were taken from outside the box.

"We were battling in the second half," added Santos of North fending off Foxboro's extensive pressure in the attacking zone. "They were pushing up, but they couldn't get the breaks that they needed."

The Rocketeers seized the lead in the 13th minute of the match when Ocel converted a corner kick taken by Christian Pirnie. North had a handful of other good scoring chances throughout the first half, mostly off of Pirnie throw-ins, but Foxboro goalie Sean McLaughlin and the Warrior backline met the test. Goodwin preserved the one-goal lead for the Rocketeers by halftime by making a leaping save off of a Jaime Sinno point-blank header in the 27th minute, tipping the ball over the bar.

Ocel gave North some breathing room, but that didn't occur until the 71st minute, on a counterattack with Justin Crear assisting. "Give Foxboro a lot of credit, he (coach Pat Nash) has them playing good soccer," added Santos. "We did a good job of cleaning things up."

North returns to action Wednesday afternoon with a home match against Bishop Feehan, while Foxboro will entertain Mansfield in a Hockomock League match that day.
