Sandwich victory vs. Falmouth stuffed with positives
Sandwich’s defense is still a work in progress, said coach Ted Tedeschi.
But after the 6-0-1 team’s 2-0 win over Falmouth (6-1-1) in a battle of undefeated Atlantic Coast Conference boys’ soccer teams, Tedeschi acknowledged his defense, chock full of inexperienced sophomores, has been improving and played very well yesterday.
“We are not the defensive team we were last year,’’ he said, citing last year’s six seniors, four of them all-stars.
Twenty-four minutes into the half, junior midfielder Nick Cotter put a set shot into the 6-yard box that defensive midfielder Adam Scholi headed in for his seventh goal of the season.
On the second goal, speedster Dallas Donovan burned down the right side and passed to Cotter, who tapped it in for his fifth goal of the season.
Bishop Feehan 3, Bishop Stang 1 - Sophomore Devin Devoy had two goals. The third goal came from senior Anthony Cicchetti.
Burke 6, Boston English 0 - Elton Borges and Maridilson Chicha knocked in two goals each for the Bulldogs (4-0).
Randolph 2, Pembroke 2 - Senior forward Chris Savoia scored both goals for the Titans.
Shawsheen 2, Billerica 0 - Sophomore Kim Barriss connected on a penalty kick in the first half for the winner.
Danvers 6, Revere 0 - Corey Persson and Brittany Russo both had hat tricks and Allison Tivman recorded her sixth straight shutout.
