Boys Soccer huge upset!

The Westford Academy Boys soccer team had a huge game against the #3 team in the state Concord Carlisle. CC is the two time defending state champions. Its been years since the Ghosts have beaten the Warriors, but the Ghosts knew knew they could do it. CC came out strong scoring two quick goals to make it 2-0, but right before the half ended Kyle Russo made a great move to get a shot and he finished. The half ended 2-1 CC. 5 minutes into the second half Scott Mccord came into the game making his 3rd varsity appearance.  He made a great run down the field and received the ball down the sideline. He made a great cut and beat his man. It was just him all alone with his goalie and he buried it. 2-2, the game was tied thanks to "Scooter." the game went on back and forth until there was 3 minutes left. Kurt Naugler broke through the Warriors defense he was all alone but he was tackled from behind. A PK was awarded and Kurt put it away. The Ghost had there first lead of the game. After the goal though CC came out strong they almost put one in but Scott Mccord comes out of no where and clears the ball. It came all the way to Dan Kosteva, who had Doug Searl wide open he sent Doug and the Ghosts put in one more. That was the iceing on the cake. The Ghosts had upset the Warriors and it was  a great day for Westford Academy Boys Soccer.

Boys Soccer opens up the season strong

 The Boys Varsity Soccer team has started off well with a huge 5-0 win against Boston Latin. Torsten Nilsson lead the Ghost with 3 Goals! Ben Osgood and Dan Kosteva also added a point on the scoreboard. The boys next game was against their DCL rival The Acton Boxborough Colonials. The game was the first one played on Westford Academy's new turf fields! The boys fought strong but came up short losing 1-0. AB had recieved a corner kick late in the 1st half, the ghost did will and cleared the ball but one AB stopper was holding midfield and the ball was bouncing right to him. He took a strike from 35 yards out and placed right in the corner past our own Joey Brunelle, who had no chance at stopping the ball. It was a tough loss for the ghost because they had out played the Colonials the whole game. The Boys next game was in one week which is a very long break. They had a very important game vs. The Weston Wildcats. They started off strong with Kyle Russo scoring early to make it 1-0 Ghosts! That is how the game stayed with solid defending from Findley Payne and excellent goaltending from Joey Brunelle. The Ghosts next game is Saturday night on the turf against the Andover Warriors!
