Gungas vs. Bulls
Holderness, NH - The Big Blue traveled north to take on the Bulls of Holderness. The home side was coming to the match with an unblemished record of 3-0, and they were determined to keep their record intact. Despite the rigid defensive shape displayed by the home side, the Big Blue enjoyed having possession on the day and created a significant number of scoring chances while the bulls were betting on counterattacks dealt with by our back four all day. On the day, defensively, Garrett Holman '23 and Oliver Buckhoff '24 were outstanding as they helped Jack Alexander '25 add his second clean sheet of the year. Excellent discipline was also demonstrated at the back by Alex Torrens, '24, and Alexander Coman, '24 , who helped away the bulls from taking a single shot in the whole second half. Tegan Doll '23 and Ellis Denby '24 were also sensational. The afternoon, however, belonged to Zane Matraji '24, who scored all three goals in the contest. Zane, throughout the game, demonstrated composure and excellent field awareness that allowed him to convert and earn us the win.
We would like to give a special thanks to the Pagliuca family for giving us an incredible meal after the game. Also, the Marnoto family for also providing us delicious chocolate chip cookies, a team favorite!
