PHOTOS: Foxborough Hockey Ends 6-Game Slide with Shutout of East Boston

Warriors defeated the East Boston Jets, 2-0 Monday at the Foxboro Sports Center.

Winless in their last six games, the Foxborough High School hockey team was determined to end the losing Monday night in a non-league contest against visiting East Boston.

The Warriors were aggressive from the opening face-off, creating countless scoring chances and controlling the puck for the majority of three periods.

Their hard work was rewarded by two Aidan Hyland goals and a perfect night in net by FHS goalie Melissa Almeida enroute to a 2-0 victory over the Jets at the Foxboro Sports Center.
