Qualified!

Tuesday's 4-2 road win over Milford ensured the Boys Soccer team a 9th consecutive trip to the MIAA State Tournament. The win, the team's 2nd straight, saw the Bulldogs surrender the first goal early in the contest but come storming back midway through the 1st half with two Bart O'Brien goals within 1 minute.  The 'dogs then seemed to settle in too much which led to a game-tying goal for Milford early in the 2nd half. But O'Brien would soon find a streaking Jake Verille on the far post for a tidy finish and what proved to be the game-winning goal. Verille, a freshman, has scored in both victories this week. Damian Kozak added the insurance goal with a brilliant left footed strike with less than 10 minutes left.

It was a solid team effort but the game was really changed in the first half with the insertion of Spencer Cox into the line-up. Cox sparked a listless squad and really changed the attitude on the field.

The team will travel to Stoughton today (Friday) and host Sharon on Monday night to close out the regular season. The Sharon game will feature a tribute to the graduating senior class of Bulldogs.
