Northborough, Ma - Sr Mike Keating's goal in the 56th minute drew things even as the Crusaders forged a 1-1 draw at Algonquin Regional High School. Today's game was moved to 4pm due to the EEE outbreak
forcing the game to be played on at 50 yard wide by 105 yard long field usually used for U12 Youth games. The lack of space allowed the home side to keep GD explosive offense in check during the 1st stanza. Algonquin got a goal from Connor Henry in the 36th minute when he send in a free kick from 45 yards out that crept in under the crossbar for the 1-0 lead. The Crusaders began to take control of the contest forcing a goal to draw even but could not find the winner in the last 20 minutes. Algonquin had limited chances in the 2nd half but almost took the lead when Troy Tanner hit the crossbar on a header from a great cross. GD recieved great play from Connor McGuire, Tim Higgins, Doug Rosa and Eric Stone. GD improve to 1-0-1 on the season and host Nashoba Regional on Thursday at 3:30pm. Today's MVP goes to Tim Higgins for his defensive play in the back.
