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.

Final 4~ Cape Ann United moving on to the semis! #MTOC Massachusetts State Soccer Tournament

Posted on by Catherine

Never give up! On June 24 and June 25, two brackets of four teams in this age group battled to make it to the final four on June 26. Cape Ann United needed at least three goals in their second game today, and the other teams had to meet specific spreads if there was a chance to move on. Unbelievably, that’s what happened! The win was so thrilling, the Arlington players they lost to yesterday ran over to congratulate the Cape Ann United players afterwards. Pembroke and Harvard are out. It was such a unique sports win, as much or more exciting than winning three matches straight.

Goal Differential!

“What an amazing end to our group play today! How can you not be a believer of this team when you see them score 3 goals in the last 10 mins against Harvard (who seemed likely the best team in our group) to knock them out and advance to the semis! It is confirmed; We play at 9am tomorrow on field 9. If we’re fortunate enough to win, we’ll play in the finals at 10:50am.”

Coach Gary, Cape Ann United Sea Wolves

Thank you to Coach Gary Schmidt and Jim Sperry, Cape Ann United.

Let’s Go!

Progin Park Fields was 90+ degrees sweltering.

CAU Clippers

A second Cape Ann United soccer team (U16), CAU Clippers, played North Andover on the adjacent field, so we had two Cape Ann United teams to cheer on. (North Andover won that game.)
