Report:

Just 2 minutes into the game, Canton Junior Matt DeVito, put a cross to Jake McCabe into the box, where he would flick it onto Vlad Francouer, who calmly slotted in an easy goal for Canton. About 8 minutes later KP would have a throw-in around mid field, where they would quickly turn it into an attack. KP played a ball across the box towards an attacker being closely marked by Senior Chris Hamilton, intending to get a shot, but instead of the ball being scored by KP, the ball would bounce off Hamilton, and go into the Canton net. About 28 minutes in KP looked as if they would have a chance after the newly tested defender Zaza Francouer, tried to play a pass to his partner Ashton Cetoute. His pass was weak and Cetoute had to get back and block a shot put in by KP. The 2nd goal for Canton came as Carson Eagles was going down the right wing with the ball, he flew a cross into the box, it was met by sophomore Owen Morrisey, who headed it into the net. Just minutes later it would look as Canton would get a 3rd goal off of a corner, the ball was smashed around the box and popped just wide of the post out of the keeper's hands.

HALFTIME

In the first 5 minutes of the 2nd half KP had a couple of chances, but none as good as when McCabe was played through by Eagles, and he dodged the keeper and smacked it into the open net. Another 5 minutes later McCabe would get his 2nd as it was a very similar goal, but this time fellow captain Caden Mirliani played him through and McCabe used his right foot to put the ball into the bottom right corner. Continuing with their dominance, Canton would get another goal as McCabe threw the ball into the box looking for a Bulldog to finish it off, but that was not needed because a KP head got to it and he put it into his own net. KP would get 2 goals back near the end of the game, one coming from very far out as a Canton leg tried to clear it but it looped back and over the head of backup goalkeeper Connor Geoghan. KP’s third goal would come in the last 2 minutes of the game as Canton would make another mistake that led a KP attacker through, who put it into the back of the net with ease.

Fulltime

Canton stayed dominant throughout the whole game, and it showed based off of their 5 goal performance.
