MS Boys Soccer

On Wednesday afternoon we traveled to play the always strong Har-Bur team.

It was a well played game and Har-Bur was every bit as good as we anticipated. They controlled the play for the first 15 minutes but thanks to our goalie, Sawyer Burtman (‘26), the score remained 0-0. Then we scored in the 21st  minute on only our second shot of the game off of a direct kick. The ball was fed in from 35 yards away by wingback Jordan Cipriano (‘26) to Declan Griffiths (‘26) whose shot was initially saved by the Har-Bur goalie, and Brandon Dalession (‘26) was there to tuck the rebound into the back of the net. Less than 5 minutes later, Har-Bur leveled the score with a shot that deflected off a player, which made it impossible for Sawyer to save. Har-Bur then scored a 2nd goal shortly before halftime to give them a 2-1 edge at the half. The second half saw KO pressure the Har-Bur backline and we nearly scored the equalizer. With a little over 5 minutes left and still down a goal, we were left with no choice but to push one of our backs up front. Ultimately, Har-Bur notched a 3rd goal past Daniel Rivera (‘27), who did well to come off his line but the Har-Bur player hit a fine shot with 2 minutes left. The final score was 3-1, as both teams played with energy and skill.  Next up is Renbrook, as we play a Saturday morning match on their Fall Sports Day.
