In one of the team's top performances of the season, the Bulldogs bested visiting Milford 3-0 on Saturday night. The game was between two Hock Davenport teams sitting one point behind Foxboro-winner moving past the Warriors into the top spot in the division.
It was a back and forth battle early with both teams creating great chances but with about 10 minutes left in the first half, Joe Mulkay beat two defenders on the right side, exploded into the penalty box and was taken down, earning the 'dogs a PK. Damian Kozak converted the shot from the spot and the Bulldogs took control. Just minutes later Joey Basile beat a Scarlett Hawk on the right side and delivered a great ball across the goal mouth that Jake Verille finished for his first career varsity goal.
Taking a 2-0 lead into the 2nd half, the Bulldogs continued their fine play with Danny Hartnett, Danny Klein, Georgio Papakonstantino, Pat Hession and Sammy Papakonstantino shutting down a very dangerous Milford attacking group. Quick thinking and a high soccer IQ helped Kozak earn his 2nd goal of the game (and 8th of the young season) when he took advantage of Milford's goalkeeper setting up his wall on a CHS direct kick by calmly knocking the ball from 22 yard out into the far half of the open net, icing the 3-0 win.
Goalkeeper Aidan Carr earned his 2nd shutout of the season as the Bulldogs moved into 1st place in the Davenport for the first time in several seasons with a record of 4-1-1.
