The Freshmen
are beginning to like their tenancy on the turf at Merriman-Branch Field. On Saturday, less than 24 hours after they
had broken into the win column against Memorial, they returned to the scene and
dumped Dover 2-0. The formula was the
same for the ‘shmen, breaking a scoreless halftime tie with second half goals,
this time by Brook Leigh and Caleb Putnam.
After several
good offensive looks in the first half came up empty, Hanover hit paydirt. Benjamin Parrado hit a perfect lead pass 40
yards from goal to Leigh, who held off a defender and slid a shot past the
goalkeeper just as they both went to ground.
Putnam finished the scoring late in the game by intercepting a goal kick
and breaking in alone to power the ball
into the net for his fourth goal of the season.
Sawyer Hanlon
and Graham Penfield shared their second consecutive shutout in the Hanover
goal, as the Marauder team defense continued to excel.
Hanover now
has more than a week off from regularly scheduled games, although they are
likely to participate in several scrimmages next week, including the annual
matchup with the girls’ Junior Varsity team.
