| Boys advance on Drummy goal |

The fifth-seeded Duxbury boys’ soccer team opened tournament play on Sunday afternoon with a 1-0 win over 12th seeded Norton in the Division II South Sectional held at DHS. Both teams played cautiously in the first half, as they were both unfamiliar with each other. Despite their cautious play, the Dragons carried the action for most of the half while controlling two-thirds of the field.
While the Duxbury defense has been stingy all year long, it’s the offense that has sometimes come into question. Making it even more difficult was the fact that the Lancers packed the box with nine players. The strategy seemed to work, as the game remained scoreless at halftime. It doesn’t take much for the Dragons to get a win, especially since they registered 10 shutouts during the regular season: four of which were 1-0 victories. In the 22nd minute of action Duxbury got their one goal and it held up the rest of the way. Senior Tommy Drummy controlled the ball from 25 yards out and unloaded a shot on net that hit the crossbar, coming down on the foot of the Norton keeper and bouncing into the net for the game-winner. The Duxbury defense took over from there, holding onto the ball and keeping Norton from registering any kind of offensive attack the rest of the way. The win advanced the Dragons to last night’s game with fourth-seeded Medway on the road. |
