Danvers 1 - Rockport 0

The Falcons headed to Rockport in what is believed to be the first ever game

between the two schools in boys’ soccer. The Falcons were looking to lock up a

tournament berth in the process.

​

The first half would see both team feeling each other out and the Falcons trying to

navigate a much smaller playing surface. Each team would see spells of possession

however neither team would generate many opportunities on frame. The game

would go to half time tied 0-0.

​

In the second half the Falcons turned up the intensity and would generate many of

the opportunities on frame. It would be the Falcons who would strike first. Working

down the right-side senior Bradely Piscitello would take a thru ball and find Gianluca

Locilento in the box who would finish into an empty net. For Locilento it would be his

team leading 8thgoal of the season. The Vikings would generate a few opportunities

in the final minutes, but the Falcons defense and keeper Zach Cotter would

preserve the clean sheet with a final score of 1-0. The Falcons got great

contributions up and down the roster with juniors Kyle Sillars and Jack Scarpaci

logging increased minutes and playing well.

​

With the win the Falcons finish the regular season 8-7-3 on the strength of 6 wins in

their last 8 games and officially qualify for the D3 state tournament for the fist time

since 2017!
