In a stunning display of offensive firepower, junior Ava Galluzzo erupted for four consecutive goals to power Boylan past Guilford 4-1 on Thursday night. The victory not only showcased Galluzzo's individual brilliance but also added a dramatic twist to the NIC-10 conference standings.
Guilford struck first when Berkeley Stenstrom netted her 100th career goal, a milestone that briefly put the home team ahead. However, the celebration was short-lived as Galluzzo quickly seized control of the match. The junior sensation buried three goals before halftime, flipping the script and giving Boylan a commanding 3-1 lead at the break.
The second half belonged entirely to Galluzzo, who added her fourth goal—the lone score of the final period—to seal the emphatic win. Her relentless attacking display left the Guilford defense scrambling and underscored why Boylan remains a force to be reckoned with.
With the loss, Guilford finishes NIC-10 play at 8-1, securing second place behind undefeated Belvidere North (9-0). Boylan, meanwhile, closes out conference action at 7-2, good for third. For fans of high-stakes high school soccer, Thursday's clash was a reminder that momentum can shift in an instant—and that a hot shooter can change the game entirely.
