10.29.10--In what was one of the hardest fought matches of the boys season yesterday, PA came away victorious against the Marauders from Northfield, 2-1. It was 0-0 at the end of the first 40. The boys took about 20 minutes to get going and for that first 20 Northfield looked really good. The Marauders were controlling the midfield and put several shots just wide of the PA goal. The next 20 minutes provided a much more balanced game with both teams getting scoring chances and both teams defending well. About 15 minutes into the second half, the boys struck first. A low corner kick from sophomore Owen F found the left boot of senior Ben A and he chipped it over everyone into the Northfield goal. PA 1, Northfield 0. Northfield would even the score about 8 minutes later. PA failed to clear a corner kick and it bounced right to a Marauder at the edge of the 18 and he blasted it past the PA defense to level the game at 1. With about 12 minutes left to play and a lot people thinking OT, the boys struck again on a corner. This time Owen found the head of Junior Center Middie Ryan D who snapped it into the Northfield net for the game winner.
The boys play Tuesday at 3pm vs. #6 seed BFA Fairfax.
