A different Stoughton team showed up for the showdown with the Bulldogs on Wednesday afternoon at SHS than had showed up on Monday evening at CHS. As a result, a great high school game unfolded that ended up in a 1-1 draw. The game featured two late goals as the Black Knights scored in the 71st minute before the Bulldogs struck back in the 74th minute.
The Bulldogs started the game on the front foot, putting Stoughton under good pressure early, but the team could not convert and let the upstart Knights gain some life and eventually some great momentum. Both teams had plenty of opportunities as the game opened up in the 2nd half. Giovanni Ruggeri ('22) made several saves in the 2nd half after making none in the first. Canton's goal came on a great service by Will Keefe ('21) from left side of midfield. His pass found a streaking Colton Mirliani ('21)behind the Black Knight back line and Mirliani bravely beat the goalkeeper to the ball for a one touch, class finish. See goal here on Twitter.
The 'dogs move to 1-0-1 and have their longest stretch of the season without a game between this one and next Wednesday's trip to Sharon for a 3:45 start.
