9/22/10 - Brooks 0 - Phillips Academy 2 - Official Game Review


Boys' Soccer Falls to PA

This was a very high level match from start to finish for such an early season meeting. Brooks and Andover battled furiously from end to end with both sides getting good chances at the other's goal. Both defenses, however, were resolute, often forcing the match into sterling midfield combinational play. Finally, PA broke the deadlock with a penetrating run on the left flank that was followed by service and three shots at goal before the winner in the 41st minute. The second half saw more back and forth even play with Brooks just missing a finishing touch on numerous occasions. Both teams tired from the pace of the match and the afternoon heat. A counter-strike in the 88th minute with Brooks pushing for the elusive equalizer salted the match away for the home side.
