Boys Soccer Comes Up Short
The boys soccer team has now lost two straight games, falling to Tantasqua, 3-1, on Oct. 11 in Fiskdale.
It was a competitive first half, “in spite of sloppy soccer” from Auburn, according to head coach Christopher Bailey. The game was tied at one at the half.
But Tantasqua “outplayed us in nearly every aspect of the game,” Bailey said. “Ball possession was key and Tantasqua's possession was dominant.” Tantasqua pulled away in the second half to win by two goals.
Andy Lidonde had a goal and an assist, while Erik Messier and Tyler Cave added goals to lead Tantasqua. Junior Jake Frotten scored the only goal for the Rockets.
