Spartans Win Thriller at Home

The MS Boys Soccer Spartans won their third consecutive game in thrilling fashion on Monday.

In one of their best played games of the year, the Spartans put together a counter-attack in the final minute to break the 1-1 tie. James Williams beat the Knights' goalkeeper and shot the ball past the last defender to the delight of the home team and fans.

James also scored the first goal for the Spartans knocking a deflected header back past the keeper. The game was an intensely competitive one with both teams making the most of set pieces. The first two goals were scored off of corner kicks. Graham Blanks was credited with an assist on James' first goal.

The boys were exhausted but elated with the hard fought win. They have almost two weeks to recover and prepare before the next contest.

Two games remain on the Spartans' schedule, inluding a much anticipated rematch at St. Joseph's.
