Foxborough's Aidan Hyland had tied the score at 1-1 at 3:57 of the second half, assisted by Sawyer Fleck. Sharon junior Ian Beach had scored at 14:21 of the first half, assisted by senior captain Eric Bloom.

"We thought that second goal was going to be the one," Kaye said.

"We figured it was 1-1, that next goal was going to be the deciding factor."

Foxborough (1-2) head coach Pat Nash said Sharon capitalized on its scoring chances.

"We had a couple of nice opportunities, too, but we couldn't put them away. They just out-worked us and played more physical than us," he said.
