TAUNTON— The month of September has come to a close and it's hard to believe we're already a month through the fall sports season in the Greater Taunton area.
Despite controlling possession and outshooting the visitors 33-7, Taunton girls soccer fell 2-1 to New Bedford while Bridgewater-Raynham golf's Justin Peters shot under par again, Taunton boys soccer broke in the new turf field at Aleixo "Tiger" Stadium with a hard-fought 3-2 win over Stoughton, Bristol-Plymouth girls soccer's Ashleigh Genander netted her third goal in two games and Dighton-Rehoboth field hockey handed Durfee their first loss of the season.
Bristol-Plymouth boys soccer's Aiden Steele is the Taunton Daily Gazette Player of the Week for Sept. 19-24 after receiving 38% of the vote while Bristol-Plymouth girls soccer's Brooke Drass finished second with 27% and Taunton volleyball's Hayley Krockta received nine percent to finish third.
