The squad came out strong earning two good early chances but failed to capitalize. Much of the next 60 minutes belonged to the Dragons who dominated the game physically and territorially during that stretch, scoring two goals along the way.
Sam Larson hit the goal of the game midway through the 2nd half on a bomb of a shot from 18 yards out which left the Duxbury keeper helpless and pulled the Bulldogs within one goal. However, the 'dogs couldn't muster many additional chances and the clock simply ran out on the 2013 season.
Senior goalkeeper Arthur McNally was phenomenal in the Bulldog goal, playing perhaps the finest game of his exceptional Bulldog career.
Fellow seniors Eric Wong, Andre Dorofeev, Wolph Gustave and Larson all had strong games for the Bulldogs.
The loss marks an end of one of the most remarkable runs of tournament success in EMASS Boys Soccer history as the Bulldogs had advanced to at least the South Sectional Semi-Final every year from 2006 thru 2012- a 7 year run that saw the team win more than 2 tourney games for every 1 they lost.
