DEA Turns Things Around and Blanks Andover 2-0 at Shawsheen Field

Posted by Dale Dubois on May 23 2010 at 05:00PM PDT
Playing on a field only slightly larger than a tennis court called for ball control
and discipline.  The team brought it and we controlled the start of the game,
with several strong opportunities, finally ending with a through ball from
Dave Partridge to Bassem who hammered it off the crossbar and down into
the goal.  DEA continued to dominate the half and converted again when
German made a nice signal showing where he was going and then an excellent
flick on the corner served him by Dave, popping it past the keeper and a defender.

Once again we started the second half slow and out of sync, but had it back
together within ten minutes.  Strong keeping by Holger and a disciplined defense
with good play calling by Dave "get your heads up midfield" Crespo kept Andover
away from the goal and a nice offside trap negated their only solid play.  Only
excellent play by the Andover keeper kept it from being a 4 or 5 goal rout.  If
we'd played this way in the first half, any of those one goal losses could have
gone to us and there's not a team in the division we can't beat.

Go Green!
