'Dogs earn convincing tournament victory

Thanks to an unfortunate coin flip, the Boys Soccer team had to travel on Friday for a preliminary round Tournament game at Bristol-Plymouth as the flip gave the Bulldogs the #17 seed and B-P the #16 seed.  But the 'dogs didn't seem to mind the road trip as they earned a convincing 4-1 win.  

The 'dogs allowed an early goal in the contest but rebounded almost immediately to tie it up and take the lead.  Both goals coming off the foot of Jake Verille- one off a corner and one on a free kick. The game remained 2-1 through the first half and for much of the 2nd, before Simon Cruz blasted a shot from the corner of the 18. The B-P keeper made a great save but Paul Corcoran was right there to tap it in with his left foot.  With just minutes remaining, Sammy Papakonstantino went bar-down from 16 out, icing the tourney win for the Green and White.  Ben Waterhouse was the player of the game, controlling the midfield play for the Bulldogs. 

The Bulldogs now get the opportunity to travel to #1 seeded Nauset Sunday at 5:00pm in Eastham.  The upset-minded 'dogs have quite the challenge ahead of them as Nauset is 18-0-0, having outscored their opponents 94-0 this season.
