Middle School Boys Soccer Results, 10/21/15, PWS vs Winthrop & Richmond‏

The PWS Greyhounds in 2 days played 2 solid home games and displayed their undying resolve in their quest for victories, first defeating the Winthrop Ramblers 2-0 and then a 2-2 tie with the Richmond Bobcats.

Against the Ramblers, Lisbon played with intensity but it wasn’t until well into the second half that the first goal of the game was made by Striker Captain #10 Jack Tibbetts assisted by Left Wing #2 Zeke Spiro. Then just two minutes later Tibbetts scored again, this time assisted by Right Wing #12 DJ Douglass. Lisbon’s Halfbacks #11 Neil LaRochelle and #19 Hunter Burkhardt kept the middle energized while Sweeper #20 Seth Dyer kept Winthrop away from scoring and secured the shutout with a 2-0 game final.

Lisbon’s battle with Richmond was to be much more uphill as the game virtually started with 2 goals in Richmond favor within just 6 minutes of play off of desperate scrambling moves deep in Greyhound territory. Still, “determination” was the evident character of the ‘Hounds as they fought valiantly for a shooting position with Stopper Captain #15 Jacob George repelling numerous Bobcat attacks and Striker Captain #10 Jack Tibbetts taking the battle deep into Bobcat territory. It wasn’t until several minutes into the second half when the powerful foot of Lisbon’s Right Wing #12 DJ Douglass fired one past Richmond’s goalie. Next it was Lisbon’s Left Wing #2 Zeke Spiro who capitalized on a loose ball and sent in the shot that tied the game at 2-2.

The [5-0-3] Greyhounds play their third day in a row, this time away versus Monmouth, Thursday, October 22.
