Kingswood 2, Merrimack Valley 1
Key players: MV – Gavin Wheeler (goal), Lucas Godoi (assist)
Highlights: First-place Kingswood scored first with a ball over the top that the Knights were able to run onto and put into the back of the net. Merrimack Valley answered when Godoi played a perfect ball through the defense to find Wheeler, who was able to slide his shot past the Kingswood keeper. Despite an excellent performance from MV’s entired back line, the Knights scored the game-winning in the final two minutes of the match on an outside shot.
Coach’s quote: “I think it was a great game for both teams. It definitely had a playoff feeling to that game last night. We are looking forward to another tough one on Friday against Bow.” – MV’s Ken Fuller
