**Brief interruption from Fiesta news**
Update from Day 1 MTOC State Tournament. Soccer fields at Progin Park Lancaster
Friday June 23, 2023
These tournament games are quick–each half is only 25 minutes–so they can be unforgiving. Not this one.
Cape Ann United’s first goal came swift and easy. Andrew Coelho was fouled by the keeper in the box resulting in a penalty kick. (From a distance it looked there was a yellow card.)

For the second goal. Charles stole on a transition & passed back to Brendan Anderton who lofted a sweet perfect assist to Dominic Paone for a great header to finish and pull ahead 2:0.

Scituate sniped from 40 yards out (it seemed long!) to stave a shut out, but it’s unlikely they’d have broken through CAU’s defense which maintained possession both halves. There were several shots on their goal.
Players didn’t stick around after the win. Afterall, they’re traveling back and forth to Gloucester since it’s Fiesta!
Two games tomorrow: Martha’s Vineyard then Stoneham. If those go well, Cape Ann United moves on to the semis and finals Sunday. This team is aiming for another State Championship.
