Varsity Soccer at the 42nd Annual New England Junior Soccer Tournament

As defending champions, the Varsity team did not fare as well as they would have hoped, though there were a couple strong performances throughout the day. Eaglebrook advanced undefeated from a difficult group in the morning, consisting of games against Indian Mountain, Hillside, and Foote. Goals scored by Diego Gaxiola (2) and Eugenio Lujambio were enough to qualify Eaglebrook for the A Division in the afternoon. In the afternoon Eaglebrook found itself in another round robin group, this time competing against Cardigan Mountain, Fessenden, and Fenn. It was an extremely difficult group, as those four teams have combined to win the past 12 tournaments. EBS played very well in ties against Cardigan and Fessenden, but unfortunately was unable to beat Fenn and advance to the championship game. Instead, the team's final game was actually against the EBS Varsity B team. It was a lighthearted game with both teams enjoying a stress free end to the competition. Another goal by Diego Gaxiola gave the Varsity A the official victory, though the result was less important than the fact that both teams found a way to have a blast in their last game.

Congratulations are in order for Cardigan Mountain, who came away with the trophy by beating Fay in the championship game. It was a deserved victory for the team that had clearly proven to be the best over the course of the season. We look forward to taking the trophy back in 2016!
