The Boys Soccer team won its 3rd straight game on Friday afternoon, 2-1 at King Philip. It was a tale of two halves and the Bulldogs had the better of the play in the first half and the Warriors had the majority of the chances in the 2nd half. But a sweet finish by Griffin Roach on a corner kick from 30 yards out inside 10 minutes remaining was the difference as the 'dogs held on to win 2-1.
The first half saw lot's of Bulldog chances but both teams ended up finding the back of the net. The Warriors struck first about 20 minutes in when a miscommunication between the Canton backs and goalkeeper led to an open net goal for KP. The Bulldogs showed great resilience coming back just minutes later as Paolo Ruggeri calmly finished with a banger from about 30 yards out.
Matt Giglio and Simon Cruz were critical to controlling midfield play throughout the strong first half. Mike Mazzola and Cooper Ashcraft dealt with lot's of KP numbers and pressure throughout the 2nd half. It was a great team effort.
Things don't get any easier and there is no rest for this group as they travel to Foxboro tonight (Saturday, September 22nd) to face the Warriors, who are one of the most dangerous attacking teams in the Hock. 7:00pm kickoff at Ahern Middle School.
