Braveheart Soccer......Historical Records

Central's Raiders extended their season opening string to four games without a loss as they defeated Methuen's Rangers 3-0. The Raiders are now 3-0-1 overall and 3-0 in MVC play. Central opened the scoring early as Joe Mead took a crisp pass from Jason Rourke and tucked it past Methuen's goalie at the three minute mark of the first half. Shortly thereafter Joe Mead assisted Jeff Gannon on his first goal of the season at the fifteen minute mark. Methuen came out strong in the second half but Justin Waitt and his defensive crew were up to the task as they shut down a swarming Methuen offense. Methuen had only 5 shots on goal for the night and John McGinness recorded his second shutout of the young season. Jeff Gannon had his second goal of the game at the 38 minute mark of the second half on a nice pass from Mike MacDonald.
