A Paul Corcoran goal with just 1 minute remaining in the game capped off a 4-3 come-from-behind win for the Bulldogs over visiting Marshfield on opening night- Wednesday, Sept. 5th- at Memorial Field.
The 'dogs found themselves down 2-0 at the half after some unfortunate bounces went Marshfield's way and found their way into the back of the Bulldog goal. Early in the 2nd half, Paolo Ruggeri scored on a direct free kick from about 30 yards out cutting the lead in half. But ten minutes later, Marshfield once again took advantage of a Bulldog miscue to extend the lead to 3-1. Just three minutes later, Griffin Roach calmly finished from the top of the box with his left foot to get the 'dogs right back in it. With just 6 minutes left and the team trailing by 1, Roach got on the end of a great ball by Simon Cruz to loft it over the Marshfield keeper to tie it up. And finally- with 1:10 left, Mike Mazzola played Paul Corcoran in behind the Marshfield's back and Corcoran calmly tucked it in past the goalie for the 4-3 win.
The Dogs were not able to keep the momentum going as they traveled to Attleboro Saturday night and despite playing some great soccer in the first half, came away with a 0-2 defeat. Attleboro came out playing much better in the 2nd half but the Bulldogs hung tough for most of the half- even missing some key chances of our own. But Attleboro would finally break down the Bulldogs backs late in the game scoring with nine minutes to go and again with four minutes to go.
Things don't get any easier for the Dogs this week as they travel to highly touted Foxboro on Wednesday night at 7:00 before hosting Franklin Friday night at 7:30pm.
