Varsity Soccer v. Williston Northampton

9/22/2016

The Varsity soccer season did not begin as hoped as EBS slumped to a 1-0 defeat against Williston Northampton. EBS began the game brightly and dominated possession for the opening 20 minutes but was unable to capitalize after creating a couple dangerous chances. Williston grew into the game as time went by, exposing a lack of sharpness and fitness from EBS. The hosts scored a well taken goal with just over 15 minutes left in the game, which proved to be the decisive strike. EBS picked up the pressure in the final stages of the game and created several more scoring opportunities, but lacked the finishing quality to tie the game.

Goalkeeper Alex Lorenzo was probably the strongest EBS performer, making several saves and controlling his box. Congratulations also go to Alan Fang, Jack Palfrey, Seth Blain, Ty Burapachaisri, Tynan Creagh, Eduardo Fernandez, and Pun Amornvivat for making their Varsity debuts. A special thanks goes to our second goalkeeper, Gil Salzman, who dressed and played as a midfielder because injuries had significantly shortened the EBS bench.

The team must move on from their disappointment quickly and shift their focus to a busy weekend. Away games on consecutive days against junior boarding school rivals, Fay and Cardigan Mountain, will make for an exciting and fun weekend.
