JVB Soccer v. Academy at Charlemont

Six different JVB players scored goals to lift Eaglebrook to their first home victory with a 7-1 defeat of Charlemont on Wednesday afternoon. The win marked JVBs second straight to start the season. Eaglebrook got things going in a hurry, pressuring the defense and finding the back of the net three times in quick succession. Alvaro Arroyo (Gonzalo Colimodio, assist), Connor Little (Alvero Arroyo, assist), and Anthony Stanley scored goals.

In the second half, Eaglebrook maintained their intensity. A torrent of goals punctuated the second half. This time it was Yuji Andry, Gonzalo Colimodio (Aidan de Cadenet, assist), William Blauvelt (Raul Castells, assist), and Gonzalo Colimodio finding the back of the net.

While Charlemont did end up scoring one goal in the second half, Eaglebrook's defensive effort was relentless and stoic. Joon Hur, Sam Heald, David Garza did an excellent job containing the opposition, recovering control, and distributing the ball downfield, making it nearly impossible for Charlemont to get anything going offensively. Nick Smith and Anthony Stanley demonstrated non-stop hustle, executing quick, adept passes in the midfield. Our transitions from defense to offense were fluid as a result. In the goal keeper Egor Cherenkov had a number of spectacular saves, operating at an elevated level as he has done all season.

Eaglebrook dominated both sides of the ball throughout the game, as the score reflects, but more importantly, JVB played their best game in terms of sharing the ball, using the whole field, staying aggressive, not letting up at the end of the game, and supporting one another. All in all, it was good fun for the team and a great day for Eaglebrook Soccer.
