Kelleher Stadium, Marlboro - Sr. forward Nate Pomeroy scored goals in both half's to lead the Crusaders to a 3-1 win over host Marlboro. Pomeroy opened the scoring in the 17th minute when a shot from Mike Keating hit the post and he followed and converted the rebound. Jr Ryan Hardy came off the bench and broke in from the right flank on a great feed from Pomeroy and simply placed the ball past Panther Keeper Arthur Torres, 2-0. Marlboro made it interesting when GD failed to clear the ball out of the six box and Marcello Cunha finished from close range. Seven minutes into the 2nd stanza GD made it 3-1 when Nate Pomeroy headed home a ball that came off a Panther defender to the back post. GD received great play from Adam Kmetz, Paolo Filho, Alex Murphy, Morgan Manthous and Game MVP Connor McGuire. GD improve to 8-0-1 in Midland League play and win the Midland B League regular season championship by dropping Marlboro to 6-2-1. GD improve to 11-2-3 on the season and travel to Westford Acadmey on Thursday for a 3:30pm kickoff. Marlboro fall to 12-3-2 overall.
