Boys finish regular season with a road win

Friday saw the regular season come to a close with a 2-0 road win at Stoughton. The Black Knights have been one of the hottest teams in the league down the stretch earning some big Hockomock wins of late, including a recent 4-2 win over Milford. But the Bulldogs came to play. Despite first half dominance, the 'dogs found themselves where they have been many-a-time this season at the half, tied at 0-0. The team had control of the half but failed to create many solid scoring chances. 

The 2nd half saw the team's dominance continue- this time creating great chances but not finishing. It wasn't until less than 10 minutes to go that Damian Kozak poked a shot from just inside the 18 to the far post, beating the Stoughton keeper and putting the 'dogs on the board. Then, with just 3 minutes remaining, Liam Collins headed a ball off of a Bart O'Brien corner kick, over the Black Knight goalkeeper for the insurance tally. O'Brien had also assisted on Kozak's first goal. 

Art McNally finished the regular season with an impressive 8th shutout and a gaa of 1.06. McNally's fine play all season was also accompanied by the tremendous defensive effort put in by Sam Larson, Danny Klein and Georgio Papakonstantino. 
The team will find out its post-season draw on Wednesday morning with the first games set to kick off next Friday or Saturday.
