Varsity Soccer match report v Melrose on Wednesday October 15th

How sweet our first win of the season was!...and we did it in style winning 5 goals to 1 against a weaker but energetic Melrose team. The goals in this game were slow to come and the teams were only separated at half time by a well taken goal by Chloe who was alert to her opportunity. Still, things looked good as we dominated the play in that half. At the back, Alexa playing in a sweeper role looked composed and efficient with Chris moving forward confidently to engage the Melrose attack. This was a better game for our passing, although we still need to get the play out wide much more. In the second half, the goals started to come with eighth graders, Jackson, Sebastian and Danielle all latching on to through balls and confidently slotting home with well placed shots! Andrew Colangelo scored his first varsity goal in fine style too. Our forwards were much more lively in this game and were well supported by the midfield. Ellie again worked hard in midfield along with Maddy, Eddie and Roan.In defense, Isabel, Sawyer, Jon and Paige kept goalside and did well to help prevent Melrose attacks. Overall, this was very encouraging. Let's hope we can keep the momentum going!
