The Shipbuilders played well on Friday, putting pressure on Camden Hills’ long sticks.

“Goalie Alex Small brought his ‘A’ game with 14 critical saves,” said Paulus. “We also had good showings by Jay Saunders, Kyle Perry and Codi Fitzgerald on defense, along with Osterguaard having several strong clears in keeping CH middies running. Schuyler Mace kept the midfield clear with a season-high 14 groundballs.

Morse attackmen Hersey, Paulus and Crowell put constant pressure onto the Camden Hills goalie with 31 shots on goal.

“Camden Hills is a wellcoached squad and at no time did the Shipbuilders give up on the transitions,” added Paulus.
