Gunga vs Wildcats
Andover, MA - The Big Blue hosted KUA on a beautiful day at Phelps Stadium. In front of a fantastic home crowd, Big Blue played hard against a team that played hard for 90 minutes. The scoring could have opened up by Giovanni Pagliuca '24 after a beautiful pass from Garrett Holman '24. The attempt hit the interior of the crossbar, and it appeared to be over the line, but the referee's ruling did not favor the Big Blue and the game continued with both teams battling. To the break, both teams would go tied at 0-0. Both teams came out looking for the win in the second half, but the defensive effort on the day was incredible, and the two GKs were sensational. Finally, with 23 minutes remaining, Nick Anastos '23 fired a sideline throw that the visiting GK could not collect or clear, and the home team watched the ball drop into the back of the net for an incredible celebration to occur.
Overall, it was a great effort displayed by both teams, who fought from beginning to end to best represent their school and community.
