Bulldogs win 2nd in a row to start season

Tuesday night saw the Boys Soccer team win its 2nd game of the season, downing Mansfield, 2-1 on the road and improving to 2-0.

After a poorly played first half, the Bulldogs came alive in the 2nd, creating many chances and capitalizing on one early. Damian Kozak's blast of a shot was saved by the Mansfield keeper but Bart O'Brien cunningly got himself in a good spot to finish off the rebound for his first goal of the season. After that goal, Joey Basile came in off the bench up top and helped the 'dogs to increase the pressure even more, quickly combining with Kozak to provide a great pass for a goal by Kozak.

The 'dogs withstood some tough pressure by the Hornets in the final 12 minutes of the game conceding a goal.  The highlight of the Bulldog defensive flurry was an Aidan Carr save on a Mansfield penalty shot.

Danny Klein and Georgio Papakonstantino were both key to a strong Bulldog defensive effort.

The team will host King Philip on Friday night at 6:00pm
