DEA Bounces Back with an Impressive Win Over Westford 3-1

Posted by Dale Dubois on Apr 22 2012 at 05:00PM PDT
Another nice win boys.  Fairly even game at the start, back and forth, not a lot of chances, then Jeff Guild let fly a beautiful high shot from several yards outside the box.  Sailed right in and the look on Westford's faces was a wonderful thing to see.  We continued to do what our system is designed to do, own the middle and Derek's through ball gave Jimmy a chance to show why he's the guy who plays up top as he took it down for  a nice one on one win.    A loose and bouncing all in the box ricocheted of Ricky for Westford goal but it was still a pretty good half until things started to get ugly.  Jeff D. got caught retaliating which is pretty much the way it always works.  A yellow for the Westford guy and a red for Jeff, along with a very impressive collection of cleat marks up and down his leg.  Didn't take the idiot hacker long to live up to his name though as he drew a second yellow for hacking John Morin just five minutes later and was out of the game as well.

The second half didn't start as well.  10 on 10 our style of play really shouldn't change much.  4-4-1 works much like 4-5-1, but for the first 15 minutes or so they seemed to have the attacks and dominate the field.  Stout defense and good play by Joe in the goal kept them from making anything of it though and we turned it back around for the last quarter of the game.  Jimmy repeated his earlier performance on a through ball by Dave for an insurance goal and we finished up with a 3-1 win.

Sad to say that the third half was really no contest.  They beat us walking away with better beer and more stamina, but still a good day.

Now we have to keep it up boys.  Harvard won again, and are undefeated.  We can't afford any let downs, we have to keep the pressure on and keep on winning.  We know we can beat Harvard when we play them again, and we want to be in a position that that win will put us on top.  Goals count too, right now Harvard's one ahead of us in the goal differential, so keep the pressure on the whole game.   Time to move up a division!
