Game Summary - Sudbury August 5th

WOW!!! What a great game and what an impressive improvement in our most competitive game to date! An "L" in the standings but, a "W" in all categories other than the scoreboard...Sudbury 7 - Sachems 6.

GAME SUMMARY
The game was marked by a HUGE step in the right direction by keeping the score close throughout the contest (2-2 in the 1st; 3-3 in the 2nd; 5-5 in the 3rd; and 6-5 for most of the 4th). The strategy of settling ball on offense and spreading the field led to a greater number of quality shots and an impressively balanced scoring attack (check your inbox for past game summaries as that is the first time we can say that - 2 for Nat and one each from first time scorers - Kirk, Charlie, Will and yes our first long pole goal, Greg Walker).

And, yet another dominant performance at the faceoff circle for Nat and his supporting crew winning 11 of 16. Special thanks to Rob MacMillan in goal - an outstanding performance making some great saves and pushing the ball up field on breaks very effectively - THANKS for coming out. All in all, the game was our best demonstration of working together as a team, having solid defense by mids and D-poles, doing a great job slowing the pace on offense, and getting some insightful encouragement from the sidelines - Jeff, we missed your box management and hope you will be out there next week with a stick in your hand. WAY TO GO SACHEMS!!!
