The season started off with a bang on Thursday night as the Bulldogs were not the most gracious hosts to the Attleboro- notching 3 goals in the first half before earning the 4-2 win over the talented Bombardiers.
Senior captain Jake Verille opened the season's scoring, calmly striking in a Paul Corcoran throw-in on a great turn and finish early in the game. Junior Simon Cruz, who seemed to be everywhere in Attleboro's box, buried two more goals before the half to give the Bulldogs a comfortable lead at the half. Perhaps too comfortable, as the 'dogs second half did not feature as much possession and purpose as the first half. But the team did more than enough in the second half to earn the win. A defensive mistake (perhaps the only one of the game) led to an Attleboro goal midway through the 2nd but a fantastic finish by junior Griffin Roach quickly restored the 3-goal lead for the Bulldogs. A final Attleboro goal with just 15 second left in the game was too little too late as the Bulldogs earned the 4-2 win.
Kudos to goalkeeper Abe Garber and backs- John Agnitti, Chris Milne and Mike Mazzola as they neutralized a dangerous Attleboro attack for most of the contest.
The Bulldogs have a busy week ahead as they head to Mansfield Monday night, host King Philip Wednesday night, and travel to North Attleboro on Friday afternoon.
