Danvers 1 - Peabody 2
The Falcons opened their season on the road against perennial Division 1
powerhouse Peabody. Under first year head coach Sam Perel Danvers would strike
first in the 5thminute after senior Brendan Lahr drew a foul just inside the penalty
area. Senior captain Keegan Winterton would convert from the spot to give Danvers
an early 1-0 lead. Peabody would gain a slight possession advantage the remainder
of the first half and eventually convert on a counterattack to tie the game 1-1 going
into the break.
The second half would see numerous chances at both ends in a very even played 40
minutes. However, Peabody would utilize its spread and get the lone marker in the
second half with a goal in tight. Final score Peabody 2, Danvers 1.
The Falcons will come home to face another Division 1 opponent in Beverly on
Friday 9/6.
