Monday night saw the Bulldogs improve to 3-0-2 with an impressive 2-0 win over visiting North Attleboro. The win was paced by the senior class of players who were all honored in a pre-game ceremony attended by their parents and families.
Starting for the Bulldogs in the big win were our members of the class of 2021- Dom Sica, Matt Giglio, Huy Hong, Nam Pham, Colton Mirliani, Will Keefe, Abdul Barrie, Pat O'Leary, Wes Lee, Matt McDonough and TJ McCabe. McCabe, who's knee injury is keeping him off the field this year, provided the team with an inspirational kickoff to the game as he was able to take part in the kickoff. Fellow senior Ryan Mullen, who is the team manager, was also honored with his teammates in the pre-game ceremony.
Once the action got going, the Dogs had most of the play on the night but were unable to convert until early in the 2nd half when Colton Mirliani converted a give-and-go with Jake McCabe ('23) and hit a great, low, hard shot from 25 yards out that beat the keeper to his near post. Not long after, Mirliani would strike again, this time after Erik Valdovinos ('22) went down in the penalty area with no call, but popped up quickly and found Mirliani who beat his mark and calmly finished for his second goal of the game.
North Attleboro had several opportunities late in the game to cut the lead in half but the Bulldog back four and goalkeeper Giovanni Ruggeri ('22) were up to the challenge and preserved the team's third shutout of the season.
It should be a great rematch on Wednesday when the Bulldogs travel to North Attleboro for a 6:00pm game.
