St. Thomas Aquinas JV Boys Soccer vs. Merrimack Valley High School
The Saints traveled to Merrimack Valley In Penacook, NH.
Coach Suleski apologizes for having to abandon his team to be with the Varsity, but thanks Mr. Olsen and Mrs. Nunes for filling in.
While I was not able to be with the team physically, I was thinking about you all and wondering how it was going. I was really happy to hear you won, but more importantly that you won without cards or incident.
Sorry that there are no photos or in depth story.
20 minutes into the first half Tom Carroll scored the first goal on an assist from Andy Stone.
Merrimack Valley came back and scored to tie the game.
The half ended 1-1.
About 7 minutes into the second half Richard Howard scored the go ahead goal on an assist from Bryan Collins.
Later in the second half Andy Stone took a throw-in to Faisal Gurwala who chipped it up and Chris Rignoli made a diving header to send the ball into the net.
The final whistle blew with the Saints up 3-1, Mr. Olsen and Mrs. Nunes are now undefeated Boys JV High School soccer coaches for Saint Thomas, Of course I was an undefeated Freshmen Boys and Girls Soccer coach and it didn't get me any more money, it just makes the next game more nerve wracking.
St. Thomas hosts Kennett on Tuesday.
