The boys’ varsity soccer team kept its unbeaten streak alive on Sunday night when it came from behind to tie Whitman-Hanson, 1-1, running their record to 10-0-4. It was the second straight tie for the Dragons, setting up a championship confrontation with Hingham on Thursday afternoon at 4 p.m. on the road.

The Dragons came out firing and tested W-H goalkeeper Aaron Wiltshire early, but he managed to turn aside a pair of Dragons scoring bids with diving saves that kept his team in the game.

While Duxbury did have it chances, they were few and far between for both teams, as neither one could build much momentum as the game remained scoreless at halftime.

“We had seven or eight good chances in that first half, and if we had put one or two of them away early it would have been a different story,” said Duxbury Coach John Tocci. “We kind of settled for their style of play, and we’re not a long ball kind of team.”

Wiltshire began the second half with two more saves, triggering a transition offense that would break the tie just over five minutes into the second half when Jay Vancura beat Max Cote for a 1-0 lead.

The Panthers would earn a corner-kick midway through the half, but it was one of the last serious chances they would have as they settled into a defensives style of play for the rest of the game.

Seeing that momentum needed to shift, Coach John Tocci called a timeout with 10:25 remaining to strategize with his troops.

They took little time to heed his words, as David Hemingway dribbled down into the corner before sending a pass to Morgan Dwinnell out front. Dwinnell spotted Dan Sangster, who promptly deposited the pass past Wiltshire to tie the game at 1-1.

“I think they kind of settled back defensively and we started to get possession back. We found the seams and the midfield started to open up for us,” said Tocci.

Now pressing the action in the Panther’s end of the field, Duxbury had a great chance to go ahead when Eric Larsen broke into the box and was hauled down, only to have the officials ignore it with four minutes left in the game.

The Dragons earned a corner a minute later and forced Wiltshire to make a big save with 2:22 to go to preserve the tie.

Earlier in the week, the team opened with a hard-earned 2-0 shutout of Silver Lake. It was the Dragons’ ninth shutout of the season.

The Lakers came out hard, but couldn’t dent Cote, who allowed his teammates to weather Silver Lake’s adrenalin rush for the first 18 minutes of the half.

The Dragons finally got the break they needed when Sangster dribbled down the right side and beat his man, moving in on the Laker goalkeeper and scoring on a low, hard shot

Duxbury would get an insurance tally just four minutes later when Sangster had a direct from 30 yards out and to the left of the Laker goal. His high, arcing ball sailed to the back post where Hemingway out-jumped everyone and headed the ball home for the 2-0 final.

In between, the Dragons tied Scituate, 2-2, as they let a 2-1 halftime lead slip away. Larsen and Sangster netted Duxbury’s goals.

It’s a challenging end to the regular season for the Dragons, as they take on Plymouth North and Marshfield next week after wrapping up their Patriot League schedule with Hingham tomorrow.
