Boys' Soccer Escapes With a Narrow Victory Over St. Mark's
Brooks escaped with a
narrow victory over a severely depleted St. Mark's side with a blistering 20
minute stretch to end the first half. St. Marker opened the scoring, a bit
against the run of play, as Matt Heise stuffed a rebound in front by Glen
Martin in the 27th minute. Brooks responded with their only dominating stretch
on the day, netting two in three minutes, a third thereafter called back for
offsides and a spectacular near miss off the bar from Sam Milbury. Jon Stronach
proved very dangerous on the flank and was taken down in the box, with Andres
Burbank-Crump, from the penalty spot, barely beating a diving goalkeeper.
Stronach then finished off a fine feed from Zach Vieira moments later. But it was a determined
and regrouped home side on the other side of halftime. St. Mark's pressured the
Brooks goal and were unlucky not to finish one to pull even. Brooks also had
chances, including another hit post and a brilliant though unsuccessful run by
Elijah Soko, but lacked the cohesion they had shown in the first half. It was a
fine match and the St. Markers deserve much credit for the spirit and tenacity
they brought to the game. For Brooks, standout performances by Jory Makin,
Porter Grieve and Zach
Vieira highlighted the affair.
