After failing to earn a win in two road Davenport games, the Bulldogs were happy to be back at home Monday night as they blanked Sharon, 2-0 earning goalkeeper Abe Garber his first shutout of the season.
The Bulldogs came out flying early, putting a lot of pressure on the Eagles but lacked the finishing touch. That is until midway through the first half when Paul Corcoran quickly grabbed a ball that rolled over the touchline and hurled it 25 yards up the flank to Griffin Roach, who muscled his way to creating a shot from 10 yards out, beating the Sharon keeper to his near post. Roach would strike again in midway through the 2nd half when Jake Verille used some creative touches and lots of grit to get to the endline before slipping the ball to Roach who calmly backhealed the ball into the far post netting- an amazing goal. The 'dogs let down for much of the final 15 minutes allowing the Eagles to gain some momentum, but Garber and his backs- John Agnitti, Chris Milne and Mike Mazzola were clean in the box- shutting down each of the Eagles scoring chances.
The 'Dogs improve to 3-2-1 heading into back-to-back games with Norwood (Wednesday) and Foxboro (Thursday).
