Nashua Cobras (7) vs. Mavericks (1)
Only a minute into the game Erick took a pass from Ian and
from just outside the 18 sent in a soft chip that made it over
the Hudson keeper's head and into the net.
Just a few minutes later, newcomer Titus squeezed an angled
shot low on the ground past the keeper and into the net at the
far post. At this point Hudson switched keepers.
Craig put the Cobras up 3-0 with a nice shot, beating the
keeper with a defender on his back.
In the second half the Cobras had 3 corners in a row from Erik,
Timmer and Bobby. All were very well take and the keeper got
a hand on each one. But, on the third one the ball remained
in the box and Charlie knowcked it in to put the Cobras up 4-0.
Erik was fed the ball and took it deep to almost the Hudson
end-line and set a great cross to Erick who put the ball into
the back of the net, but was, apparently, a toe offside so the
goal was disallowed.
Hudson's only goal came from a defensive breakdown for the
Cobras and let a Hudson player in alone against Jonathan who
came off his line and made a brilliant kick save to stop the
ball, but the Cobras couldn't clear it and the rebound shot
made it into the net.
The Cobras then picked up 3 goals, all on well setup
breakaway's. The first came when Erik sent a long pass from
midfield to Craig on the right side. Craig one touched a long
high pass to a streaking Bryan who finished nicely.
The second was another excellent long pass from Craig up to
Ryan in the center. Ryan picked his spot and beat the keeper.
Hudson's defense woes continued on the third when Ian took a
nice leading pass from Erick and Ian finished nicely to put
the Cobras up 7-1.
Jonathan held strong in net all game, stopping a couple
potential breakaways by coming off his line and making good
clearances. He picked up 4 saves on 8 shots.
It was a solid game for the Cobras with 7 different boys
scoring and numerous good assists. The Cobras had 23 shots to
Hudson's 8.
