BERLIN- Worcester Prep’s girls’ varsity soccer team cruised past visiting Salisbury School, 3-0, on Wednesday to advance to the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference (ESIAC) championship.

Something had to give in the third meeting between the two familiar rivals when they met in the ESIAC semifinals at Worcester on Wednesday. The Dragons beat Worcester, 2-1, way back on September 8 to hand the Mallards their first loss of the season. Worcester returned the favor with a 3-0 win over the Dragons on Senior Day last week.

On Wednesday, the Worcester girls left nothing to chance and jumped out to a 2-0 lead. A goal by Delaney Abercrombie with just over 11 minutes left in the third sealed Worcester’s 3-0 win and sent the Mallards to the conference title game.
