Varsity Soccer v. Williston Northampton
The Varsity soccer team opened the season with a convincing 6-0 win over a tough Williston Northampton team. EBS began the game by stringing 15 passes together from the opening whistle and creating a dangerous chance on goal. The patience, ball movement and teamwork were a sign of things to come in the first half. After some good buildup from Landon Pickett and William Kim, Alan Fang opened the scoring in the 7th minute with an absolute rocket from 25 yards that even prompted admiration from the referee. EBS continued to control the game through impressive spells of possession, and Tynan Creagh, Rohan Edwards and Alejandro Frigolet all added to the scoreline before halftime. Williston came out stronger in the second half, winning more 50-50 balls and pressuring the EBS backline. The game grew increasingly disjointed but EBS was able to tally twice more through Alejandro and Jordan Nelson.
Landon enjoyed an impressive EBS debut in the midfield, distributing the ball efficiently and putting in an impressive defensive shift. William also impressed with two assists, as did Rohan whose movement and vision unlocked the defense consistently. Julian Paton and Devin Walcott brought valuable versatility, each playing in a number of positions with poise and commitment. Ben Jones marshaled the backline, and Theo Reginensi pitched in with a number of defensive stops in the center of the field. Rodrigo Saenz and Wylie Clarke were excellent as wide defenders, contributing through intelligent positioning and also picking their spots to get forward. Seamus Cummings and Jose Madero split the game in net and pitched a shutout in the Varsity debut for both.
