WESTPORT Westport won a penalty shootout and GNB Voc-Tech shut out Auburn 1-0 on Thursday, Nov. 12, to reach the MIAA boys soccer quarterfinals, while Dartmouth and Upper Cape Tech soccer and Old Colony volleyball saw their seasons end on the road.
That leaves two South Coast boys soccer teams playing for state titles, both in the last eight of their divisions, and three more South Coast teams play quarterfinals this weekend in volleyball and field hockey.
Westport 2, Hampshire Regional 1 (Westport wins shootout)
Junior Jackson Chase scored Westport's goal in regulation, and the Wildcats won the shootout 4-3 after a 1-1 game against Hampshire Regional, the Boston Globe reported. The MIAA bracket records the Division 4 Round of 16 game at Westport High School as a 2-1 Westport win, and the Daily Hampshire Gazette wrote that Hampshire nearly pulled off the upset.
It was the second straight tournament game Westport has won on penalty kicks. On Monday, Nov. 9, the 22nd-seeded Wildcats and No. 11 Clinton were tied 2-2 after regulation and two overtimes, and Tiago Branco, Gavin DaSilva, Tiago Rodrigues, Noah Jedrey and Alex Ribeiro all made their kicks in a 5-4 shootout, East Bay Newspapers reported. Rodrigues, a senior, had opened the tournament with three goals in a 6-0 win over No. 43 Brooke Charter on Nov. 7, and Chase scored in that game, too.
Westport, 12-3-3 in the regular season, is now 15-3-3. It plays at No. 3 Monument Mountain Regional (7-8-4 in the regular season) in the Division 4 quarterfinals, by the MIAA bracket. Monument Mountain has not allowed a goal in the tournament, beating Southwick 4-0 and Frontier 4-0.
GNB Voc-Tech 1, Auburn 0
Sixth-seeded GNB Voc-Tech beat No. 22 Auburn 1-0 at home in New Bedford in the Division 3 Round of 16, by the MIAA bracket and the Globe's scoreboard. It was the Bears' second straight tournament shutout, after a 3-0 win over Belchertown on Nov. 9, and they are 16-2-1. Auburn had won twice to get there, 4-0 over No. 43 Commerce and 2-1 at No. 11 Scituate.
The quarterfinal is a rematch of last fall's Division 3 state final. GNB Voc-Tech plays at No. 3 Norwell, which beat it 1-0 at Curry College on Nov. 22, 2025, as we reported in our Nov. 9 tournament story. Norwell (13-3-2 in the regular season) beat Watertown 3-2 and then Assabet 4-1 on Thursday night, by the MIAA bracket.
Marshfield 3, Dartmouth 0
No. 12 Dartmouth fell 3-0 at No. 5 Marshfield in the Division 2 Round of 16, by the MIAA bracket and the Globe. Marshfield seniors Daragh Hume and Brady Hanson and junior Cole Sombronski scored, and senior goalkeeper Ian Sarabia earned his 10th shutout of the season, the Globe reported. Marshfield (17-1-2) plays at Milford in the quarterfinals on Saturday, Nov. 14, at noon.
Dartmouth went 11-2-3 in the regular season and beat No. 21 East Longmeadow 4-3 at Dartmouth Memorial Stadium on Nov. 9 before Thursday's trip, and the Indians finish 12-3-3.
Rockport 2, Upper Cape Tech 1 (Rockport wins shootout)
Ninth-seeded Upper Cape Tech lost to No. 8 Rockport in a penalty shootout in the Division 5 Round of 16 at Rockport High School, and Julian Fedele made the winning kick for the Vikings, the Boston Globe reported. The MIAA bracket records it as a 2-1 Rockport win. Upper Cape Tech, which draws students from Wareham and Marion along with Bourne, Falmouth and Sandwich, went 9-4-4 in the regular season and beat No. 24 Neighborhood House Charter 2-1 at home on Nov. 9, and it finishes 10-5-4. Rockport plays Hopedale in the quarterfinals on Saturday, Nov. 14, at 4 p.m. at Northbridge Middle School, by the MIAA bracket.
Lenox Memorial 3, Old Colony 1
Seventh-seeded Old Colony took a set at No. 2 Lenox Memorial before falling 3-1 in the Division 5 volleyball quarterfinals, by the MIAA bracket and the Globe's scoreboard. The loss ended a 15-match winning streak that began after a 3-1 loss to South Shore Tech on Sept. 30, and the Cougars, who went 18-2 in the regular season and swept South Lancaster Academy and Holbrook in their first two tournament matches, finish 20-3. Lenox moves on to the semifinals against Calvary Chapel Academy. Old Colony draws its students from Acushnet, Carver, Lakeville, Mattapoisett and Rochester.
