Izzadora Almeida continues to be a goal-scoring machine for Mashpee High girls soccer.

Almeida scored a brace in a win over Monomoy two days ago and doubled that performance on Monday as she recorded all four goals in a 4-2 victory over Carver.

Mashpee (5-6-0) has won three straight outings and climbed within a game of holding a .500 record. The Falcons would need to maintain that or improve on their 35th position in the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association Division 4 power rankings.
