The report credits Bousquet with a hat-trick in a decisive rivalry fixture. It was reportedly his fifth hat-trick of the autumn, taking his season total to 24 goals.
His recent form has been even stronger. Reports say the forward has scored 21 times in his last nine matches, a run that has helped transform Pathfinder’s position in the league race. With every goal coming from the same player against Commerce, the attacking burden was clear - and, on this occasion, Bousquet carried it successfully.
The reported victory gives Pathfinder a record of eight wins, three defeats and one draw, compared with Commerce’s six wins, four defeats and one draw. The teams had been competing directly for position behind Southwick Regional, making the head-to-head result especially important.
Commerce reportedly stayed within touching distance through goals from Djooby Grabde and Sergio Pache, but could not complete the comeback. A narrow defeat leaves the team needing a response quickly, particularly with the league table tightening near the top.
The report lists Pathfinder’s next match as a home fixture against Franklin County Tech on Tuesday at 18:00. That game will test whether the Bousquet-inspired momentum can continue after the biggest result of the campaign.
Commerce is due back in action sooner, facing Putnam Vocational Technical Academy on Friday at 16:00 in Springfield. The next round of fixtures should clarify whether Pathfinder can sustain its challenge for first place - and whether Commerce can recover from losing the direct contest.
