A 2-2 draw Saturday night at Foxboro was followed up by a 1-0 win over Sharon on Monday to wrap up a 3-game road trip with 2 wins and a draw, improving the squad's record to 5-1-1.
Both contests were physical battles and the Bulldogs were up for each of them. Sharon doggedly defended in their own and and were very dangerous on the counter-attack but the Bulldogs back-four and goalkeeper Alejandro Correal thwarted each Eagles chance. Correal had a huge save in each half keeping the game scoreless until Simon Cruz scored the game-winner with 10 minutes to play. The goal came off of a Paul Corcoran throw-in which was flicked on to Cruz by Griffin Roach. Cruz then calmly knocked it by the Eagles goalkeeper.
The Foxboro contest on Saturday saw the Bulldogs take the lead twice before surrendering it each time. Paul Corcoran scored in the opening minutes on a crazy sliding shot from the 18 which beat the Warrior goalkeeper to the near post. But the Bulldogs surrendered a penalty kick shortly after allowing the Warriors to tie up the game. The 'dogs took the lead again when TJ McCabe made a great individual play on the right flank and found a darting Cruz heading to the near post. Cruz then buried his chance into the back of the net. A late, great strike from Foxboro tied the game a 2-2- Final.
The 'dogs will host unbeaten and highly touted Mansfield on Wednesday at 6:30pm.
