The Eagles (3-4), hosted the annual EHT Pride Festival game against Lenape (5-1-1) on Saturday. Lenape stole the game away with a 2-1 win, scoring in the last 6 minutes of the game. Boys soccer got a lot of their tough games out of the way and are looking forward to piling up a bunch of power points and wins looking forward.

     After another strong showing against a good team in Lenape, the boys yet again fell short of their goals and drop to 3-4 on the season. The boys were down 1-0 heading into halftime and came out with a goal halfway through the second half thanks to junior Paulo Rizzo. Despite tying the game, costly mistakes and mental errors cost the eagles the game when they allowed the game winning goal in the final minutes.

     Jack Carrol had 8 saves which kept the Eagles in the game for a good majority of the game,  Paulo Rizzo was promoted from jv for this game and in his first minute scored the Eagles first and only goal in the middle of the second half.

     Overall the Eagles played a well rounded game but the victory slipped away with Lenape scoring the go ahead goal in the last 6 minutes. The Eagles showed they are able to compete with a team in  the Olympic American Conference which is one of the top conferences in the state.

    The Eagles (3-3) hosted the Fighting Clan of Vineland (1-2-2) yesterday. The Fighting Clan pulled an upset win over the Eagles with a final score of 2-0, giving the Eagles their third straight loss.  

     The game started wtih a strong defensive performance early in the first half, but the Eagles allowed a goal and were unable to capitalize on key offensive possessions that could've changed the outcome of the game.  In total, the Eagles out-shot the Fighting Clan 20 to 3, but it just wasn't their day.  

    Senior captain Julianny Bados said after the upset loss, “It's a learning experience and we will not give up as we still have an eye on the CAL Tournament and the Group 4 Championship. I gotta give credit to coach Carlos who is giving us a lot of hope and making us better everyday.”

   The boys will have five days to recover and reset as they will host Lenape on Saturday at 12pm for the EHT Pride festival.  Despite the recent form, the Eagles should bounce back now that they are expected to be at full strength heading into the game against Lenape. The boys soccer team is still in second place in the American Division, sitting behind Saint Augustine Prep. The Eagles still have a bright season ahead and many more games to play.
