FINAL FOUR!

We are not 100% sure, but we think the Final Four game will be live streamed at this link. Fingers crossed!

It's only happened once before in the program's 38 year history (2010), but a 1-0 win over Amherst-Pelham on Saturday night, punched the 2021 Bulldog's ticket to the MIAA Final Four. 

The #21 seeded Bulldogs have pulled off three upset road victories on the way to the Final Four, logging roughly 500 miles! 

Results- 

First Round- defeated #12 Woburn, 3-1

Round of 16- defeated #5 Agawam, 4-0. 

Quarter-Finals- defeated #20 Amherst-Pelham, 1-0

The Elite Eight (Quarterfinal) win over Amherst-Pelham saw the Dogs battle A-P and difficult weather conditions, showing tons of grit along the way.  In the end, it was a class goal by Jake McCabe ('23) midway through the 2nd half, that separated the two teams and gave the Bulldogs a date in the Final Four. Once again, the back line of Ashton Cetoute ('22), Zach Dowling ('23) and Jay Kelleher ('23) were incredibly clean on the day, giving A-P very few clear chances. It was Giovanni Ruggeri's ('22) 2nd straight shutout.

Interesting note of praise during this tourney run-  The 'dogs surrendered the first goal of their tournament just 12 minutes into the first game, against Woburn and have scored eight straight since without surrendering. Well done boys!
