Several of Monday’s events were postponed.
Rain was not an issue for the Big Blue (2-1-1), who showed their offensive potential scoring eight goals, three of which came from Greta Siefken, in a 8-0 win against Salem on Monday.
Six different players for the Big Blue ended up on the scoresheet. Siefken opened the scoring for Swampscott off of an assist from Jesse Ford. Later it was Siefken again doubling Swampscott’s lead, this time off of an assist by Jane Raymond.
Both Ford (1 goal, 2 assists) and Raymond (3 assists) kept creating goal-scoring opportunities for the Big Blue. Valentine Park, Mia Bailey, and Maddie Goldman also finished the game with an assist.
Fiona Keaney, Lyla Rogers, Park, and Stella Stands all scored for Swampscott for its second win of the season.
The Big Blue will look to maintain their momentum on Wednesday when they host Beverly.

The Sachems continue to score at will. On Monday, Saugus scored its first goal 40 seconds into the game when Natalie Justice took a free kick that was beautifully placed for Madi Femino to fire the ball into the back of the net.
Then in classic Saugus soccer style, the Sachems built up play with Femino who then gave it to Shay Sewell, who unselfishly laid it off to Madison Botta to score to give them a 2-0 lead.
Seconds later, Veronica Ortega assisted Botta for her second goal of the game.
It was déjà vu as minutes later Ortega once again assisted Botta for her hat trick. Botta eventually got herself her fourth goal, this time assisted by Femino.
Tori Carter made some big saves in the first half for Saugus.
