The 'Dogs wrapped up a three game series against Hock Kelley-Rex teams with a 4-0 win over KP Friday night. The win saw the Bulldogs play their best soccer of the season. After battling back-and-forth with the Warriors for the early stretch of the contest, the 'dogs took advantage of a KP defensive mistake and never looked back, taking a 1-0 lead into halftime on the first of two Bart O'Brien goals.
The second half was all Canton as all of the action shifted into the KP side of the field and the Bulldogs created chance after chance. Damian Kozak scored a goal and added an assist, Joey Basile scored a goal on a heads up play in the box, while O'Brien scored another and assisted on both the Kozak and Basile tallies (for a 4 points day).
Perhaps even more impressive than the offensive explosion was the team's defensive performance, completely neutralizing a strong attacking KP squad. Aidan Carr earned his first career shutout in goal while Pat Hession, Danny Klein and Georgio Papakonstantino led a great team defensive effort.
The 'dogs won 68 tackles while losing 61, a major statement against a very strong physical KP squad.
The team will now move on to the always critical Davenport match-ups starting on Monday when they travel to Foxboro to face the much improved Warriors, at 6:30 at Ahern Middle School.
