The setting and weather for JV2 team's opening game against Sunapee on Thursday could not have been better, considering the two days of heat which we had endured the prior two days.
The Marauders stepped on the field with a mix of veterans and rookies.
Sunapee came out strong, and made numerous attacks in the Hanover half.
The Hanover defense though found its footing under the leadership of
the Noah Phipps and the speed of Max Patyk-Finkel. Matt Alibozek's
poise and steady hands kept the goals out and the score sheet clean.
Hanover started to pressure and get real chances especially at the feet
of Mark Ralston-Daniels.
The continued pressure began to
pay dividends and the attacking duo of Pierce Seigne and Boris Divitsky
created the first goal of the season. Piece managed to win a ball
outside the eighteen and through a flurry of motion took a shot that
bounced off the cross bar where Boris drifted in and headed the
ball into the back of the net, much to the joy of the Hanover bench. The Maruders led 1-0 at halftime.
The second
half came with some bad luck and miscommunication where Sunapee managed
to get four goals on counters. Hanover though created lots of chances
resulting in a lot of corners, free kicks and quality shots on goal .
The score was tough, but the play was very encouraging for a first game
with good moments of play from everyone. The JV2 has work to do, but
it has a good foundation. They will play their first road game of the season on Wednesday at Fall Mountain, leaving right after school.
