Post date: Oct 11, 2012 1:13:42 AM

Harvard Park, Harvard, MA - GD's Matt Tornaritis scored a great goal just before half time by receiving a pass from Dan McGuiness and beating a few defenders and the Bromfield Keeper before blasting it into the net for the 1-0 lead. The Crusaders fought the wind the 1st 40 minutes and failed to convert several chances. As the 2nd half began Bromfield began to pick up the pace on a very wet and sloppy field. 10 Minutes into the 2nd stanza a hard rain storm arrived and the wind changed direction forcing the Crusaders to fight the wind for most of the match. Bromfield's Mark Ferguson received a great ball into the six box that he headed to the near post and beat Crusader Keeper Jamie Bailey for the 1-1 draw. GD have a few chances late but were unable to capitalize. In reflection of the game GD starters looked tired being their 3rd game in 5 days and Bromfield had three days rest in prep for this match. Overall it was an important point earned. GD improved to 7-2-2 overall and will host Fitchburg (0-8) on Tuesday at 3:30pm. Bromfield improved to 5-2-3 overall. GD received great play from Connor McGuire, Eric Stone, Tim Hilbrunner, Ben Lutz and Mike Keating. With a win on Tuesday vs Fitchburg the Crusaders will qualify for the Div 2 District Tournament in November.
