Groton, Ma- Sophomore Matt Tornaritis scored twice in the first half and added a third early in the 2nd half as the Crusaders outpaced the Rangers of Westborough 4-0 in Midland B league play. GD soon got on board when Sr Nate Pomeory's direct kick from outside the 18 box found it's way around the wall and into the lower far corner. In the 21st minute Matt Tornaritis received a great through ball from Doug Rosa and slid it past Ranger Keeper Michael Hillier to make it 2-0. In the 35th minute GD struck again when Nate Pomeroy sent a perfect ball behind the defense from the sideline which found the foot of Tornaritis and he clinically finished 3-0. Then five minutes into the 2nd stanza Nate Pomeroy took 2 players with him and thread the needle to Matt Tornaritis who simple finished in alone and grabbed today's hatrick. GD improves to 2-0 in League play and 4-2-1 overall. Westborough falls to 1-1 in league play at 3-2-1 overall. GD Travel to Barre to take on Quabbin on Thursday. GD Received great play from Mike Keating, John Nyilis, Eric Stone, Dan McGuiness and Tim Higgins. Today's Game MVP goes to Matt Tornaritis!
