The boys came out flying at home on Wednesday afternoon, playing their best half of soccer in the first 40 minutes of the game against Milford. Liam Collins scored his first career goal on a great finish off a corner kick that gave the Bulldogs a 1-0 halftime lead. The squad created tons of first half chances but had to settle for the 1 goal lead at the break.
The second half saw the Green and White have to defend quite a bit more as the Hawks sent lots of numbers forward, but the team held them off until the visitors finally broke through and scored the game-tying goal with just 4 minutes remaining. But rather than let that take the wind out of their sails, the Bulldogs came storming back, creating several good chances in the waning minutes of the game culminating in a bomb of a shot by freshmen Sam Papakonstantino that beat the Milford keeper for his first career goal which iced the 2-1 victory.
The defensive unit of Pat Hession, Andre Dorofeev, Georgio Papakonstantino and Sam Larson were very stingy on the day, locking down a powerful Milford attacking unit.
The team will travel to undefeated Oliver Ames on Friday afternoon looking for another win.
