We got beat by a better team, but they weren't that much better tonight." Leominster kept the Boxers' powerful offense off the scoreboard in the first half. But Leominster also was unable to score. Both teams had one opportunity inside the red zone during the first 22 minutes, but neither produced points. All that changed after intermission.

"It's a big win," Brockton coach Peter Colombo said. "We're 7-1 right now, which is good. People come to Marciano Stadium and we tend to get their best. That's all part of the Brockton legacy here.
