Boys Soccer Defeats Athenian 3 to 2
he CPS Boy's varsity soccer defeated Athenian 3-2 in the opening
BCL-East league game yesterday. Freshman sensation Julian M. scored the
first goal ten minutes in the first half, and was assisted by Daniel O.
The second half started with the Cougars more on the offensive side,
but due to lack of concentration the Athenian team scored in the 43rd
minute that tied the game at 1-1. But in the 53rd minute, Freshamn
sensation Julian. M scored the second goal off a through pass from
Colby A., and the Cougars were up 2-1. In the 59th minute the Athenian
team scored and the game was tied 2-2. At this juncture, the Athenian
team was mounting serious attack but the Cougars stood their grounds
and matched Athenian offensive pressures, and in the 64th minute,
Brandon S. collected a pass from his teammates, took a few dribble by
attacking space in front of him and took a hard shot that went through
the Athenian's goalkeeper's legs and into the goal, and the CPS Cougars
were up 3-2. Both keepers had a very busy day.
