Delaney Parker had a hand in all six of her team’s goals, scoring three and assisted on the others, and the Mahar Regional School star sophomore recorded the 100th point of her career with an assist in the first half to help the Senators blank Hopkins Academy, 6-0, in a Pioneer North girls soccer game Monday night at the Woodward Complex in Orange.
Parker leads all Recorder-area players with 37 goals and 10 assists this fall. She assisted on Mollie Burke’s goal to open the scoring for her 100th point.
“It was another dominating offensive performance by Delaney and we’re all thrilled for her accomplishment of scoring 100 points,” Mahar coach Chad Softic said. “I don’t think people understand how hard she has worked to become the player she is and my favorite thing about her is her grace and humility.”
Jazmyn Vautour and Emma Savoy added second-half goals for the Senators (14-2 overall, 9-1 North), which celebrated Senior Night. Marie Nottleson made six saves to earn the shutout, and assisted were credited to Savoy, Tori Tenney and Burke.
“I can’t say enough about this senior class. They are a classy bunch of young ladies who’ve represented Mahar with honor throughout there career,” lauded Softic. “It’s hard to envision another one like them. I certainly will miss all of them and thank them for all they’ve given to the program.”
Mahar takes to the road for a key Pioneer North game Thursday night against Easthampton.
Greenfield 1, McCann Tech 0 — Eva Pruitt-Dahl’s goal midway through the second half sent visiting Greenfield within striking distance of a postseason berth Monday afternoon.
Pruitt-Dahl buried a free kick with 18:39 left in regulation, helping the Green Wave pick up a 1-0 win over McCann Tech in a Pioneer South girls soccer game in North Adams.
The win brings Greenfield to the .500 mark at 6-6 overall (6-4 in the South). The team needs three points in its final three games (Franklin Tech, Smith Academy and Smith Voke) to qualify for the WMass Div. 3 Tournament.
“The girls are excited,” Greenfield coach Tina Riddell said. “It’s exciting to be along with them on this journey.”
Greenfield held a 17-10 edge in shots, with goalkeeper Dina Samake recording 10 saves to pick up the shutout on the road.
The Wave heads to Franklin Tech Wednesday night under the lights at 7 p.m.
Smith Academy 2, Mohawk 1 — Sage Spitzer scored the lone goal in the second half for visiting Mohawk, but Smith Academy struck twice after intermission to hold on for a 2-1 victory in Pioneer South action Monday in Hatfield.

The Warriors host Athol Wednesday afternoon.
Smith Voke 2, Pioneer 1 — After picking up an impressive 3-1 win over Smith Voke just three days earlier, Pioneer was unable to match the feat when the teams met against Monday in Northampton. The visiting Panthers tied the game late in the first half but Smith Voke’s Megan Cone notched the game-winner early in the second half to give the Vikings a 2-1 Pioneer South victory.
Smith Voke (7-5-1, 5-2-1) jumped out to a 1-0 lead just five minutes in, when Emily Bryant tallied to get the hosts off and running.
“We came out really flat,” Pioneer coach Nikki Pullen admitted. “Hopefully we take something away from this and learn because those first five minutes of the game matter.”
Sammie Martinez tied the game just three minutes before halftime for the Panthers (4-6-4, 2-5-2), putting home a penalty kick for her sixth goal of the season.
Leah Fuess made seven saves in net to pace Pioneer, which outshot Smith Voke by a 20-15 margin.
The Panthers have two games remaining in the regular season, as they host McCann Tech Thursday before finishing up next week on the road at Smith Academy. Pioneer needs to win both games to punch a postseason ticket.
Greenfield 3, Pioneer 2 — Lexxie Rowell came through with eight kills and 13 assists, helping Greenfield to a five-setter victory on Senior Night.

Libero Lauren Henne paced the defensive effort with 13 digs.
