#3 Caps Win 3-2 for Comeback Victory at Wakefield

In a game where the #3 Caps (4-0, 0-0) found themselves down 0-2 after 20 minutes, the boys fought back and won in thrilling fashion 3-2 to stay undefeated for the season.



Broughton started the game on the back foot, and Wakefield capitalized with two well earned goals: the first a header directly off a long throw in (sound familiar) and then a header off a cross.

However, the team showed no panic and began to wear down the Wolverines and equalized with 8 minutes left on a Senior Erik Johnsen goal from Junior Ivey O'Brien cross to make the halftime score 1-2.

The second half was total domination for the Caps and there wasn't even a direct shot on goal for Wakefield.  Juniors Andrew Rossetti and Lucas Beeson had multiple chances either saved by the GK, or just miss the post.  Finally, the pressure paid off as Andrew Rossetti crossed the ball into Erik Johnsen - who headed it off the post and into the path of Ivey O'Brien for the tying score.

After many more shots by Andrew, Lucas and Freshman Omar Stallings, the Caps finally took the lead for good on a PK by Lucas Beeson.

A special shout out is in order for the Defense - who with the exception of two headers, shut Wakefield down: Seniors: Ewan Reynolds, Lex Varani, Juniors: Dante Oliva, Logan Hunter and Sophmore Jack Eubank.

The sign of a good team is to get a result when you don't play your best - so there is still much hope for the season.  Next Game: Tuesday, September 5th at home versus Athens Drive.  Have a great Labor Day Weekend and #skocaps!!
