[Music] Thank you. >> Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the season opener of East Long Meadow Boys Varsity Soccer. Tonight the East Long Meadow Spartans take on Belchuretown in the first match up of the season. Eastong Metal looks to capitalize on this season as they finished last year with 11 draws similar to Belchuretown seven last year in their last meetings. Belchuretown and Eastong Meadow drew nil nil in their second meeting one- nothing to Eastong Meadow at Beluretown as we head into this game. East Long Meadow with some brand new graduating seniors and new captains including Joe Mccoan, Jack Walsh, Nolan Garska. >> It's a beautiful night in East Long Meadow >>
003and it's an exciting night as well. Dave Saraphino runs a brand new formation this year, looking to capitalize on his two star strikers, Luca Shabelli and Jack Walsh with a 442. Ultrtown a mystery. Beluretown take the field as East Long Meadow break it down [Applause] as we are set to begin the 2025 East Long Meadow Boys varsity soccer season. >> Junior varsity took a tough loss earlier. Four nothing loss to Belure Beler down JV >> Eastong Meta with a a V revamped back line tonight. But they still got the big man Nolan Garska standing in at about 6'5. But now, no more Paty Dulli, which can make a big difference to this squad as they no longer got that 655 center back to make the big stops for them in the back. It's going to
004be Jackson Wretchen now as he was playing winger last season. Some things stay the same for the Spartans. Joe Mccoan out on that right wing and it looks like Earl Wakiaga will be playing right back. Some new juniors making themselves into the squad. But Ryan Kula coming off a bit of injuries as he's finding his way back into the team with freshman Antonio Bardi starting at the defensive mid pivot. Colon Tribe at that left back after a good JV season last year. Everything else very similar as we kick off the 2025 East Wong Meadow Boys varsity season. It's a clash between Zudek the corner. >> Nolan Garska claims [Music] >> boots up to the 40 yd line. One on the ground by Belchuretown. Gives it right to Esong Meadow. Ryan Koula plays it out to
005Earl Wakiaga on the outside. Mccoan a little bit of ticky taka here as he plays Mogan through East Long Meadow running down the wing. It's Joe Mccoan and it's blocked by the Belture Town defender. It's going to be a corner for East Long Meadow here. It'll be Bardi and Joe Mccoan in the corner as he lays it off to Bardi. It's Wakiaga. Bad touch. Number three on Belchuretown. Wins it back. Is it taken a touch by Ryzac Jackson wins it back, plays it out to Philip Zudek on the outside. >> Ryan Cula turning play. It's taken by number 11 on uh Beluretown. Really hoping freshman Antonio Bardi can really dictate this game today as I'm excited to see how his career plans out. You know, not very often do you see uh freshman starting at
006the defensive mid position for East Long Meadow, but it's happened two years in a row now with Coen Dunnigan last year now. But you got the big man Antonio Bardi back there. He's got some serious height to him. Oh, it's played into the box. It's tripled over by Lucas Shabelli. Ryzac is going to try and lay it off, but it's intercepted by the East Long defense. It's done again now. >> It's blocked by the Beltown defender, but it'll go out for a Belchure Town throwing. >> McGen wins it back right back to Rise. I apologize he's not Mr. Isaac. That'd be Nathan Marino. The captain for Belureton today, one sole captain compared to the East Long Meadow Spartans 4 is Nathan Marino. As I said earlier, these East Long Meadow captains, I think every single
007team in Western Mass should look out for them. >> Chavelli gets trickled up a bit. No foul. Ball played through. It's going to be a race between Dunigan and Boaz. Here's Shavevel. He plays He plays Kula. Ball trickles to the back line of Belchure Town. Easy claim, but 23 is running on it. Austin Rymer. >> Ball's played up. Could be through on goal. Duncan's there. Hits it out for a Belchuretown throwing. Appears to me, just based off what I've seen so far, Belchuretown could be running a two striker formation as well compared to Eong Meadow with number 14, Jacob Gladu. And number seven, Alexander Risac. We'll see as the game goes on. It'll be a throw in for Belchuretown. Expect a long throw here. >> Like I said earlier, lots of draws for both these
008teams last season as they both look to capitalize on games. It was the song on a defense that really stood out last year with Paty Dcoolie who I believe committed to Marramac. Like I said, Jackson Wretchen's going to look to make a huge impact. I believe he will. Wretchen plays it up field. It's going to look. It's Walsh that misses the touch. It's going to fall out to the Belchuretown back line. It's going to be Kula or it's going to be Wakiaga and Waz that are going to fight over that one. Wiiaga's knocked over. [Music] Walsh will turn and'll look to play it. It's a great skill by Walsh as East Long Meadow move forward with Ryan Kula. He trips up on his own feet and here's McCan. >> He plays it to Walsh. Walsh
009with a bit of skill. but try to lay it off and it's Colton Triba here. >> Shot fired in by Lucas Shabelli and it's skyed over. It's the first real chance for either team so far in this match as we're we have 34 minutes left in this first half. Risac. It's going to be one. It's going to be It's be one back by Belchuretown. One back again by Barardi. Here's Shabelli as he plays Philip Zudek. It's knocked back to the Spartans back line as it'll be cleaned up by Jackson Wretchen. As at least I hope so. It's a good turn. It's good skill by Wretchen. That's what I mean. I feel like he's going to be a great substitute for Pat Skullie, but that's a player that you just really can't replace. And here's Shabelli
010as he'll try to play Mccoan through, but he's stopped by the Belchuretown defender. >> Oh, and he's played through. He's played into space, but Nolan Garska's there. pumped it up by Gerska. Touch taken by Koula. It's a great touch. It's played to Shabelli and it's kicked up by Koula Marino up to Riseek. He'll play it back to Marino once again as they'll play that ball through and it's going to be a Wii Yaga chase. Blaz and Waki Yaga and as it goes out for a Belchuretown throwin. Sometimes you just can't beat the speed of Earl Wakiaga. Started as the right started as an outside back for the Spartans last season. Did a great job in that three in the back or I shouldn't say outside back. Right center back sometimes left center back. He did
011a great job. This is a throw in by Belertown. It's a long throw cleared out by Barardi. Freshman making his first career start. Another long throw. Broady's going to try and get ahead on that one again, but it's cleared out by Wakiaga and Kula. And it falls back out to Rmmer. Rymer's going to knock it into Marino as it'll be an easy save for Nolan Garska. Garska collects himself here as I look to play the ball up field. taken down by Mcolen with his head. Marino takes a touch out of bounds as going to get ready to take this throw in. Wiiago with a num number switch up here. Guess he didn't like the number three too much. >> Walsh. Few East Long Meadow subs that could certainly make an impact on this game. Freshman
012Jason bet I've heard lots of good things about Golden Dunigan in Gutierrez on that wing. Some great outside backs as well. Patrick Sudek and Connor Dennis are both looking to get into this one. I promise you they will make an impact. Watch out for some Connor Dennis side tackles as here's Mccoan with a chance and it's saved by the Beluretown goalie. It's a second great chance for East Long Meadow. I capitalized on again with these East Long Meadow substitutes. Alex Mahana going into his junior year. He's a combination of Lamin and Mohamad Salah cutting and shooting. You won't even know what happened. as K is going to fight to get this one. It's one back by Haley. But now it's Mccoan. Haley and Mccoan together. And Haley's throwing up his hands like there was a
013foul. I didn't see anything. Throws it into Jack Walsh. Jack Walsh definitely the superstar for this Eastong Meadow team. Top goal scorer last year. and crossfired in by McGan. It's hit out by Sudek. And substitutes come in. It's bet Gutierrez and Colon Dunigan. Three of the guys that I mentioned that could certainly make an impact on this game. Out comes Kula, Zudak, and Mccoan. Few Beluretown subs as well. Croy and Burrows will come out of the game. >> Oh, it's tipped off to the Belchure Beluretown's attack. And here's um Bisle Blet crosses it in right at Nolan Garska. It's going to be an easy claim and Garska will play it out quick to Ying Gutierrez. His second year on varsity. It's the Bolivian winger looks to make a huge impact. And that number 10, you
014don't take that number 10 for East Long Meadow and expect a smaller role. So certainly hoping for a big year out of all these guys. He plays it off to and it's Jack Walsh with a line breaking pass. It's Shabelli. He's going to beat him with pace, but stopped right in there. Wiiaga is going to take a bad touch. It's going to lead to a interception by Timothy Haley as he'll play. Glad to win. No touch will be taken and it's going to be east ball. Wretching and Garska standing by the ball as it is a goal kick. Wasn't sure I couldn't tell from this from this angle. Looks like Lerno's getting ready to go in. Watch out for him. Number 11. Another guy that I probably should have included in that uh that list
015of guys, but Zuda gets ready to come in as well. Well, Fox going to go in for a hard challenge. It's going to whiff right there and it's going to be poked out by bet freshman center back. Him and Antonio Barardi looking to make a name for themselves in their first season on varsity. Mueller on the throw in intercepted by Will Fox and it will be a corner for Belture Town and appears to be taken by Mueller. It's going to be hard to get one past year for uh Belchuretown with big Nolan Garska and net standing in about 65. >> Crossed in by Muer. It's going to be punched out by Garska and it's going to be played through to Walsh. >> Deflected by Walsh. Took a hard hit there. Austin Rmer didn't go light.
016>> It'll be a throw in for Rymer. >> Set gets the head on it. >> Done again. Plays it out to Rein. Great turn there. Stay with the ball. Zudak >> lose it at his feet with Gutierrez. >> Zudek will get the throw in here. Play to Shabelli. He's going to try and win it back here. Unsuccessful as the ball's played through to the back line to find nobody but Jackson. Reinch's going to press up. Balls prayed through. Jackson Wretch's going to look to get there. And a little collision there, but Nolan Garca is going to try and sell this one out. Never know with him if he's actually hurt. Judging off the fact that he got up immediately, I'm going to say he wasn't. set plays it into go Keegan Dunn again. B was
017goes out of bounds there and it will be Rmmer. Turn is going to win that one back. It's Colin Dun again. Two sets of brothers on this East Long Meadow squad. Patrick Zudek and Philip Zudek. And then to go along with them, you got some very well-known varsity starters and Jackson or sorry, not Jackson, Gretchen, Colton Dunigan and Keegan Dunigan. Two sets of brothers as well. 25 minutes left in the half here >> as Rechen looks to step up to take the goal kick. He'll boot it up to around half field to find Lerno. It's going to bounce to a Belchuretown attacker, but then it's just going to bounce right back to Lerno's feet where he'll play Jack Walsh. Great skill there and it's a chance for Eong Meadow that's going to be denied by
018the Belture Town defense. a set on the wing. >> He'll dribble out. >> They don't have a number 12 on their roster. thrown in by Austin Rymer. It'll be claimed by Gara as it will be a sparring goal kick. Oh, cough here. Here's Wretching. It's going to find its way to Belure Town's back line. It's been a common theme tonight for both sides. Cool breeze in the air. It's a beautiful day in East Long Meadow, clear skies around 70. I'd say closer to 80, but nevertheless, it's a beautiful day. Slide tackle. Chabili goes in, wins it cleanly. Turner's going to lose it on the turn, but it's Will Fox, big man. Got to be one of the strongest players on this squad, at least physicalitywise. Here's Dunigan. He's been in the gym. One of the
019smallest guys on the field his freshman year. He bulked up real big. Here's Dun again. He runs into two Belture Town defenders and we'll lose it. >> Here's Ratchen. Dangerous goal kick for East Long Meadow depending on what the set piece tactic is and we'll just be headed out by Belchuretown. Will Fox will take the touch and here's Bette to Lerno rocking the number 11 this season from his usual number two. And here's Lerno. He's going to try to get on goal. Here's Jack Walsh at the the back half. He plays it out to Dunigan as they'll have a little bit of ticky tacka around the outside, but it'll be taken away by the Belchuretown defense. Wretching fires in. And it will be blocked. And the attack is still alive. Hell, Jack Walsh. Done again.
020Shot fired. Blocked. Here's Gutierrez. Cross in. Oh, and it's just Walsh isn't able to finish it. It's a great cross in by Ingutierrez. One of the best one of the best parts of his game. And it will be a Belchure Town goal kick. Walsh nearly put a finish on that one. It was nearly one nil to the Spartans. Would have been a great start to the season for East Long Meadows. They're looking to just make that happen for real this time. Beltertown definitely going to the season with a tough schedule as I'm not sure how that wasn't off sides on Jack Walsh but we play on physicality by Colen Dunigan. They're going to win it back in the midfield. Here's Shabelli with the tech. He'll fire it. It's blocked by Beluretown. Shell's calling for something.
021Touch taken by Gutierrez. He's stopped by a Belchuretown defender. Donigan's going to go for the turn. Here's Wretchen now on the wing. Apologies Zudekier is going to win it and it will be a Belchure Town throw in >> Switch played by Esau Meadow as Will Fox looks to be open on that right flank But >> Donigan wasn't able to find him. That's some real speed there by number 11 on Belture Town. >> And here come Esong Meadow. It's Walsh. >> Will Fox going to take the turn. He's going to take it out to the right corner. He's going to play crossfired in. It's deflected by Belchure Zone. Let's see a throw in for E Long Meadow here as Wizette passes to Wakiaga. It's a real chance here for East Long Meadow. The long throw is
022something that they could definitely capitalize on as they just play it short and it'll be deflected out of bounds for another shouldn't say another but a saw meadow corner Donigan and Bardi here. Little set piece tactic from Dave Saraphino. Mccoan tries to cross it in. Bardy won't be able to get the rebound here as Bosle will take it away from him. Good shift from some East Long Meadow guys. Will Fox and Logo substitutes come on Joe Moligan and Philip Zudek. Crossfired in by Antonio Bardi. It's dangerous. unable to be claimed by the Belturetown goalie as it trickles around in the box, but it's picked up by the Belturetown goalkeeper Luke Dudak. Dudak kicks it out to about half field to find Bardi, the freshman defensive mid. And here's Dunigan. Dunigan will play Mo Kan. Kogan's
023going to take it to the corner. Looks for a cross in. He's all he's gonna find is Rymer. Here's Waki Yaga now Barardi. Philip Zudak Shabelli plays wretching through or Zudac. Apologies. Timeout called by Belchuretown. [Music] >> This a friendly reminder that the Spartans Shack will be open throughout the whole game for your refresh. East Long Meadow take the field here. It looks like Belchure Town's looking like looks like they're talking about what they're going to have for dinner tonight. Don't know if there's much to talk about with 17 minutes left in the half, but we are tied nil nil still. >> Seems to be some substitutions from Belure Town's part. Hook looks to be taking the field along with a few other guys. Ball's played into the midfield of Belchuretown. It's going to be
024looked to one win back by Dunigan, but here's Marino in that midfield. Raymer with space. Mueller. Apologies. Belchure out on the wing. Crossfired in. It's going to be cleared out by Jackson Wretchen as both men go down. It's a believe eye foot. Foul called Swang Meadow. Get get away with that one cleanly. It's been a great back line from Mlang Meadow tonight. No real chances on Garska. Can't say the same for Belchuretown. I think we've had about two real chances here as hopefully I've not just jinxed myself as Keegan Dunigan kicks it out of bounds. Mueller Hook Hoo again on that right on that wing side. Mueller crosses it in. He finds the head of Jackson Richen and now it's Dunigan. Dunigan's really going to use that physicality tonight throughout the rest of the season.
025Maken plays it back to Wakiaga and he'll play it up to his big his number nine Jack Walsh as he uses some great skill. Unable to make anything out of it unfortunately. Say the ball's majority Ben and Eastang Meadows have tonight. But you could say that they've been the better team either way as Richen's going to advance down the field. He'll find Zudek. plays into the midfield to Shabelli out back to the wing and Russian's going to play it outside. Patrick Zudek there. And here's Mogan with a dangerous chance. He's going to head into the middle. Donigan's looking to look for the volley, but it's going to go. It's going to be a field goal there. >> Three nothing East Long Meadow. Just kidding. It's hatrick for Dunigan. >> Eastong Meadow football team are up
026in Foxboro tonight. It was in seven nothing for one quarter. Shabelli give and go to Walsh. Shabelli crosses it in. He's going to find Muer. It's cool with the volley and it's going to go right over the net. That's another big chance for the Spartans tonight as they just need to bring their shots down. I think that's just going to be the answer to their problems because I promise you a Ryan Kovalei is not easy to save. I can tell you that from firsthand experience. Belchure Town's going to boot it right out. Barard's going to whiff. He's going to find Jackson Wretching here. Barard's going to get serve his role as a defensive mid. He'll do a fine job. Molgan's going to chase down Mueller. He's going to find promise with Wakiaga as well. Number
02712 for Beluretown's going to take it down the wing. and he's going to be stopped by the big number six Earl Wakiaga. Second year playing outside back for Long Meadow with some good talks coming in that he's going to be playing the pivot. But with a guy like Antonio Barard, you just have a freshman sensation. Hard to pass up on. Here's Mueller at the corner. Mueller crosses it in again. He's going to find the head of Jackson Wretchen. That aerial defense from Wretchen tonight has been superb. Triba pressure on the corner. He's going to make a great turn. One of the techiest guys I know. Ball played through. It's going to find Jackson Wretchen. He's going to look to shield it out with some big power. He's going to get a goal kick for Eong
028Meadow. And Garcia is going to get a boot on this one. Both teams really don't want to keep up their theme of drawing games over the past two seasons. More draws than wins and losses for both squads last year. A nil no loss or a nil no draw. I don't know how happy both teams would really be with that result. Stretch's going to win it back and it's going to be a throw in for Belture Town. Oh, it's going to be a throw in for you Swing Meadow. Never mind. Tribe with a great throw in. It's Jack Wall. She's going to look to play it back to Dunigan. Donigan's going to whiff, but you got Jackson Wretching back there. telling you as I was saying earlier Pat goalie is a big player to lose but
029when you got a guy like Jackson Wretchen you you can't replace him but this might be the next best next best thing if not better we'll have to see only a junior as well Dunigan with some great physicality I don't see a foul there as we're going to move on Barard's going to take his space he's going to dribble >> here's Zudac back. Zud crosses in. Here's Kula. This is a player to watch. Every single time he touches the ball, he's going to take it down the wing. He'll shoot Dudek with the easy save right at him. It's another chance for Eong Meadow. >> Colog with some great physicality there. No foul on that one, but it will be a throw in for Belchure down. Mueller was LA. Wakiagam throwing. Kul checks in. Wow, that
030was certainly an Eastong Meadow throw in, but >> can't argue with the refs, can you? I >> think Dave Saraphino has engraved that into the heads of these East Long Meadow players cuz we haven't earned anything to these refs tonight. >> Just about 10 minutes left in the first half for Meadow and Belure Town. the home opener of the 2025 season. Travis gets meged on the outside, but the slide tackle from Jackson Rushing just about saved him. It's going to be another danger throw in as it is in East Song Meadows half once again. Possession around 6040 in favor of Belchure Town. But here's Ryan Kua. Apologies, Philip Zud, as he'll play Jack Walsh through. They're gonna find a There's definitely a foul there. Oh, but Walsh has won it. >> Oh, >> well, and
031I'm not sure how ser good of a call that was, but appears to be the situation was. Sudek got fouled on that left flank. I think the Beluretown defender may have gave up on it after the whistle and that's the reason Jack Walsh did end up winning it. But advantage was played originally until Walsh was ultimately stopped. Unfortunate Zuda gets up. He's a dog out there. It's going to be the free kick from Russian from the 40 yardd line. >> He's got some heads out here that could really get a get a good hit on this one. Definitely the big number nine Jack Walsh. Should I say number seven's got some good height there. And Wretchen's going to fire it in. More of a shot than anything. >> Here's Wakiaga. Mogan on that right flank.
032Wagy is going to get stuffed, but it is going to be a throw in for East Long Meadow. He's going to find Mccoan. No, he's not. It's going to go out for East Long Meadow throwing. Slow advancements from East Long Meadow. Advancements are advancements though. Cool is going to lay it off to Wakiaga, but Belchure Town's going to get there first. Going to be a kind of a layoff from Belchuretown as well as Bos is not going to be able to get a good foot on that one. It's going to go out for East Long Meadow throw in. Here's Joe Mccoan. Wakiaga is going to come out along with Molgan. Basically, that whole right side has just been changed. Not sure if you could say the same for the left. Zudic comes out >> done
033again breaking lines and there's the head from Jackson once again. Gutierrez is going to lose it on that left side. Right freshly off being subbed in. >> He's going to lose it once again. He goes for the slide tackle. It's clean. It pokes it out. Here's Barardi. Out comes Garska. That's a clean this one. Forced to fight with his feet. Picks it up. >> Big boot there by Garsa past the 40. And here's Jack Walsh as he has a serious chance. Jack Walsh is going to look to dribble through and it's a huge save from Dudak. [Applause] Huge chance for East Long Meadow and a huge chance for huge save for Luke Dudak like Emmy Martinez in the World Cup there. Here's Kula in the corner along with Bardi as that layoff's going to be
034intercepted by Belchuretown. Donigan's going to look to defend number 12 from Belure Town. Mueller Baza. Belturetown take their space in the midfield as a man goes down right above the box I believe should not be a penalty >> the referee has not signal for a penalty yet and it's going to be right outside of the box right around the 12 yd line 10 yardd line certainly a dangerous chance for Eastong Meadow here or belure town it's going to be their first of the Damn. >> Shot fired in. Saved by Garska. And it'll hit the the field goal post which is out of play. It will be a corner for Belturetown here. Number 11 for Belturetown. will take. >> It'll be taken out by the song defense. No worries there from East Long Meadow, especially on
035these corners tonight. Their real defense even with without Patito Skullie has been superb. Oh, that's going to be trickled out to the back post. Cool is going to look to Oh, and he's going to find Ian Gutierrez. Gutierrez is going to get a touch on it. He'll find Walsh. Walsh going to take a space. He's got Ian Gutierrez on his right side. Walsh. Walsh. Walsh. Oh, and it's saved by Dudek with once again and another amazing save. And it's crossed back in by Walsh. Here's Dunigan and it is skyed over. Another huge chance for me. You could say that was around the fifth one there. As Walsh has been dangerous tonight on those solo runs, he's just for some defenders, he's unstoppable. If they can get the ball up to him consistently, it's going to
036be a good season for Long Meadow. So, we've got about 3 minutes and 30 seconds left in this half. Mueller and Fox go at it. It's going to be an Esong Meadow throw and Esong Meadow's got the momentum. Here's Bet. He's going to find Walsh. Decent touch. Walsh. Walsh. Saved by Dudak. Here's Dudek. He's had a great game so far. He's been able to keep a clean sheet in a game where his defense hasn't showed up as well as it should have. Headed back out to the Song Meadow back line. It's going to be cleared out by Colin Triba. Tony Bard's going to go for that one. Not able to get ahead. He'll turn and play. He's got a bit of space here. He finds the split to Walsh. So that goes right back out
037to Triba. Triba. He's got a good amount of flare to him, but it's one back by Beltertown as Wretching goes in hard with some good physicality on him. >> Richen finds the switch. It's a great split. Belchure Town intercepts unfortunately. will be kept on the field. >> Two minutes left in this half. Fox finds Kula. Cool. Is going to get grabbed by his shirt. It's certainly a foul. No. >> Foul called. I didn't hear a whistle from the ref, but And here's Wretchen. >> Wretch been taking all the free kicks tonight. >> He's got a serious boot on him. Skully was the free kick taker last year. This is what I mean. Wretching, he'll boot it up. Finding the box and it's saved by Dudek. Koula nearly score that one. >> Dudick plays Mueller on
038the outside. He's had a I just can't stop saying it. He's had a great game tonight. >> He has seen as one of the best goalkeepers in Western Massachusetts. >> And I think everyone's understanding why tonight. Some great saves on Jack Walsh. And now Ryan Kula. Cool is going to look to turn. I mean, at that center attacking mid position, cool really brings the flare that you saw me needs and the creativity transitioning the ball forward to get it up to those two strikers. It appears that we might only have one right now. I believe it actually is Kula and uh Walsh right now. Now, typically when you have two strikers up top, you're going to have a big powerful one and then you have a fast technical one. Maybe not as big. We kind
039of have that here with Walsh and Kula. It's that will be half as the end of the half. It is still nil nil. No goals in this first half as both keepers keep a clean sheet as we have a great half from Dudek and from not too much on Garska >> at the end of the first Oral. Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, as we are in store for the second half of the Belchuretown Orioles versus the East Long Meadow Spars tonight. Nil nil after the first half. Um, Starting lineup for the second half appears to we have Logano, Patrick Z, Philip Zudek, Jack Walsh, Lucas Chaveveli, Coen Shria, Coen Dunigan, >> Patrick Zudek, Jackson Wretchen, Earl Wakiaga. I think this is the third position Wakiaga's played this game. You know, with e uh high school
040substitutions, you can really bring players in and out whenever you wish. So, uh Wakiago's played outside back, center back, and defensive mid all in one game as now he's paired up with Jackson Wretchen. >> It's King Dunn again. Not sure where he's at. >> Dunigan's nowhere to be found. >> Anyways, gosh, I must say Patrick Zudek and Jackson Wretch look so similar. >> They're blonde air. Belchuretown went it back. It's played to their back line as they're going to look to rebuild and attack here. Triba great touch to Wakiaga as he's got a man on him here. Here's Chavevelis cleared by the Belture Town back line as he's going to be looked to be on in goal. Number 12 for Belture Town. has been up top practically all game now. >> He's going to look
041to put one in the back of that here. >> Crossfired in. You could say a shot and it just edges over to that top right corner of Nolan Garc's goal. Here's Russian. Fires it up about the 40 40 yardd line there. It's a give and go, but it's played back to Dunigan instead. The back line. >> Dangerous area there for the Spartans. Now it's played deep back to Haley. It's no problem for Eong Meadow now. >> Belchuretown with another attack. They're going to look to have more chances in this second half. They really only had one true chance that whole entire time in the first half. That was kind of when that ball swindled in from the corner and also that free kick that they really didn't take advantage of. Ruten fires it in. Marino's
042going to get ahead on it. Mccoan's going to collide with the Beltown defender as the through ball is played with a little too much power on it. And it finds the feet of Garska. Booted up forward by Garska. He's going to find about the 35. Belter Town's backline clears that one and he's going to find Jackson Rush. We're going to play some ping pong. Dudek gets a hold of that one now. Puts an end to the funny games. Burrows tries to play it to Gloo. >> Buildertown back line. He's going to find Gladoo on the corner, but it's going to be stopped from Jackson Wretchen. Great one-on-one defending from the junior >> Sudek with some decent skill, but it's going to be taken away by Gladoo. >> Through ball played in. It's a great ball,
043but he won't get it by Garska first off and second off he will be off sides. Flag is raised up there. >> Garska says no as well. Walsh is stopped by the Belchure Town defender. >> It's a good set of skill there by Velture Town. Scoo raises his hand. It's going to be a big switch. Tribe, but it can't catch him. Slide tackle and he will be off sides. cuz I don't know where the whistles are from the refs tonight, but feel like there should be a little bit more of notification there. Big boot once again from Wretchen. Chavelli just trims his head. >> Great skill by Lerno. Tribe chips it up to the head of Belchure Town. >> 11 now and he's in on goal and it's a goal for Belture Town. One- nothing
044to the Orioles. Gar's chipped. Wii Yaga unable to save it. Um, Number 15 Timothy Ay will get his foot on that one there. He chips Garska and Wakiaga's unable to clear it off the line as it's just a bit too high. Eastong Meadow is going to go down one nil in the home opener. >> Team Oh, and Walsh nearly scrapes away there. It was just one touch. That was the decider. Build your town looking gonna look to keep their m momentum going, >> but it finds the feet of Philip Zudek and Lerno has space. >> Soccer lost in the last couple seconds. >> Just getting notification now. Girls soccer is 43 and it's a shot fired in, but it's just wide from Zudac. >> Another great chance from East Long Meadow and the one true
045chance that the Belrytown Orioles really had. It resulted in a goal. Other than that, it's been a great back line from East Long Meadow so far. You could say the same for Belchuretown as Dave the clean sheet so far. Luke Dudak's been putting an absolute shift tonight. Well, if it keeps up like this, it's a bad day to be a Spartan. But in reality, it's never a bad day to be a Spartan. Here's Dunigan. Like I said, I don't know if you heard me. 43 to Belchuretown girls over the Eong Meadow girls soccer team. >> Oh my gosh. And Laterno absolutely crosses him up. He's going to fall to the floor. Chavelli plays through, crossfired in and is blocked, Foxboro. Warriors 21, Nissan Metal Spartans. >> And here's the cross in Wretchen with a great
046head, but it's just saved by Dudek. Another huge chance from Esong Meadow here. Luke Dudek certainly not having an easy night, but he's taken care of it well so far, maintaining that clean sheet. Richen coming right off that head to the vine right corner. That was saved by Dudek. He's straight back to the back line as Walsh. He's going to try and make something happen here. Unable to get through. Here's number seven here. It's Ryzac. Ryzac will get it once more. He's on that right wing and it will be called off sides. Again, I am not sure why the official does not have a whistle to signify the offsides or a flag. Maybe he forgot his bag in the car. >> May just be the only explanation here cuz this is abnormal. Wretchen boots it
047up. He's going to find about the 20 yardd line and he's also going to find a belture town head. Wretchen certainly been Eastong Meadows player of the game so far. It's been the best offensively, probably the second best or sorry, not the best offensively, but the best defensively to go along with Earl Wakiaga. She's done a great job on those corners as well. Just that aerial defense from Richen makes a huge difference with the loss of Paty Dolie. We got Drake Dragon. What a name. I don't think you can suck at soccer with that name, can you? Oh, and it's shot fired in by Belchuretown. And Garska is going to make the save as it goes. It was headed towards the bottom right corner. >> Huff throwing from Drake Dragon. Oh, and it's a huge
048cut from Jack Walsh, but this through ball doesn't have quite enough power on. It's going to trickle out to Wretchen. >> It'll go out for a throw in. First year varsity starter Coen Triba on the throw in there. We're at number two. >> Donigan gets a bad touch on it. trickles out to the Belturetown left side. Number 11. He's going to look to get a shot. He's certainly not left footed. And it'll head out of bounds there. >> Drake Dragon. My guy. Drake Dragon throws that one in. Here's Dragon. He'll look to find his teammate into the box, but Jackson Wretchen does a great job defensively. >> Mueller, he's composed on the ball there, but it will ultimately go out of bounds for the Eastong Meadow throw in. Quite a common theme tonight. Feel like
049a lot of times we've seen these balls go into the favor of East Song. Certainly rightfully of course, but number 11 comes out of the game. Round of applause from the Belture Town fans. The Song Meadow student section is not very alive tonight with the football game and the soccer game going on. That makes up about 50% of the student section. So, it looks like we've just got about the JV soccer team and a couple goods for migrade there. So, here's Dun again. Wretchen's going to look to find the split to Lerno. He's unsuccessful and that'll trickle out to the back line of Eastong Meadow. No problem for Jackson Russian. He's been composed. And here's Gutierrez, the number 10 for Eastong Meadow. Sudek plays Guutierrez. Gutierrez cross in. Nobody home. And here's Lerno. He wanted
050the shot originally. He's not going to get it. But here's another chance for East Long Meadow. Chipped into the box, but it's taken by Dudak. Luke Dudek's done everything right tonight. No real mistakes from him so far as my guy Alex Mahan is on that left wing there. Expect that strong lethal left foot from him. He'll do anything but go to his right. But don't tell the other team that. Oh, wait. Hopefully nobody's watching film. Out comes Latererno and Dunning. Coen Dunigan. Like I said earlier, combination of Laminia Maul and Mohamd Salah. Belchuretown have a huge chance there. It's the same guy who scored earlier crushed in and it's going to be an easy save for Garska. It's a shot from Timothy Haley will be denied. He was in the starting lineup tonight. And after
051that goal, I think he solidified himself for next week as well. Belter certainly looking for goal scorers following that year where they had seven draws. >> And with a goal in the first game of the season, Timothy Haley is going to look to do just that. >> Done again. He's going to find Shabelli, but Muer's there. Gutierrez won't get there fast enough and it will be a throwin for Belchitown High School. The Orioles are up one- nothing now. Goal from Timothy Haley earlier, just about 10 minutes into that first half, he scored. You swing metal look to make the ultimate comeback here in their home opener in front of the home fans. What would be greater? >> Be a great start to the season here as Zudek's on the throw in to Kula back to
052Zudek. Here's Kula now. The given go the give and go. Here's Shabelli. He's going to look to play Barardi. He's going to lose it. Ball played through. It's a furious speed off. Eastong Meadow is going to get there first, but it's found to town once again held on side by Keegan Dunigan. Through ball played in shoe going to look to get there first and it's two-nil to Belchuretown High School. It's Alexander Risac. [Applause] And now on their home opener, Usong Meadow go down to an il two-nil deficit. First it was Haley, now it's Rise. It's not the best start to the season so far for East Long Meadow. Certainly not what they were hoping for. And it will be a timeout for East Long Meadow as they trail two nothing. [Applause] Certainly not one that
053East Long Meadow wanted to concede there. Garcettin his second of the game. refreshments. >> Ball trickles out to that left side. >> Rise just slaughtered the bottom right corner. Not much Garska could have done there. Eastong Meadow is going to look to bounce back. You know what they say, two nothing is the worst lead you can have in soccer. >> How good would a comeback be for the Spartans here? team not necessarily known for comebacks in general, but >> I can imagine them getting it done with a strong offense. They've looked great tonight. They just need to put away a few chances, and I think it's possible. Yeah. >> I mean, they haven't made some type of change. I mean the only the only reasonable explanation for this is Beluretown >> must have been big
054change at halftime there straight from half Belturetown just came out swinging put two in the corner pass Garska wiiaga looked as one went in and the other just nothing you could do about it Haley and Ryk both get their first the season as it's kickoff back from a timeout. Here's Kula. They're going to look to get a quick one here. That'll be the best possible thing for Esong Meadow right now. Get a quick answer. Limit that one that two nothing deficit is it shipped over the Eastong Meadow back line, but it will be cleared out by Dunigan onto that right flank. Will be a Belchuretown throwin. Shout out Nathan Kiwa, the ball boy, and Santiago Gutierros. >> Resetting the plays for Belchure Town as Mueller with some good skill on Gutierrez there. Ryzac already got
055one on the score sheet looking for another 14. Crosses it in. It's cleared out by the East Long Meadow backline. Jack Walsh with some great defense there. He's going to look to win the ball back. >> Belchuretown of possession around the half field. >> He's got Pat Zudek on his back. And now it's a race to the ball. Donigan will get there first. Cleared out to around the 40 yd line. Cool to take the touch. He'll find Shabelli. Gutierrez on the wing now. It'll be a good through ball to Patrick Sudak there. Play back in. Gutierrez with a good cut. Uh fortunately he will lose it. That ball play through out of bounds. Gutierrez will come out of the game now. Esong Meadow now struggling after going down for that two-nil deficit after a great
056first half. Here's Fox looking get something going for Esong Meadow. Belure Town clears it. Wretching with the pass to Bardi. A little bit of miscommunication there. Fox. Wretching. Fox again intercepted. And it'll be a little bit of a fight for the ball as it's cleared out to Garska. Drake Dragon on the throw in now. Fox gonna get ahead on it. Wiiaga waiting to be subbed in along with the mystery number 12 that I've yet to know the name of. Dudek is going to look to distribute it out to Ryzak. Unsuccessful. He finds that of Antonio Vardy. And it's Jason Bette now >> going to look to advance forward. He finds Bardi. Two freshman Lincoln up here. Zudek Shabelli. Shabelli fires it in. He might find Will Fox now. >> Ball will trickle out of bounds
057for a Belter town goal kick. Uh >> Alexander Rice, the goal scorer will come out of the game. Bardi is going to fight for that one. He'll get a good head on it. >> He's done a great job so far. Second year in a row we've seen a freshman on varsity center defensive mid. Dave Saraphino is really looking for someone that can transition that ball well and get you swag meadow until the final third. Something that they somewhat struggled with last year but were very helped out with with the help of Colon Dunigan. It's Dudak will be set to take the goal kick here. Dudak will fire it into the head of Joe Mccoan as here's Ryan Kula as he'll lose it but it'll be won back by Lerno and Patrick Zudek. Now he'll dribble
058through a few guys. He'll get through about three until he's stopped by the Belchuretown back line. Bard's going to play it back to Jason Bet. He's got a good amount of pressure on him as here's Bet taking his space. Freshman. He finds Logan Latererno. Here's Koula. Ryan Kula shot blocked. We find Lerno. Now >> here's Patrick Zudac. Zudek puts serious pressure onto the Vilture Town defender as now it's Mccoan. McGan's going to cross it in. No problems for Dudek there. Looking for Jack Walsh or Will Fox. Will Fox will come out of the game now. Philip Zudek. That left side looking like Jacob bet. Philip Zudek some other guys along the way as well. Here's Koola. Koola coola coola. >> Joe McGen will lose it. Right around the 10 yd line. Fans only shoot it.
059I'm not sure how that's possible when you have about three guys on you. And that'll be a chase to the ball between Wakiag. And I promise you're not going to beat him. Here's Walsh. >> He'll get a good line breaking pass there from uh Antonio Verardi. Travel played from LNO. It's a great pass to Zudek and a wonderful touch. Here's Kula. Good combination of passes now as that's Joe Mccoan on the right wing. He'll find Zudek. Zudix's going to cross it in and is blocked by a Beltown defender and it'll go out for a throw in here. >> 16 minutes left in this half. East Long Meadow running out of time. They're going to have to make something happen quick. They want to at least draw this game. It's looking likely with the two-nil Belttown
060lead. >> Dudak commanding his defense, tell him to go up again. He's done a great job so far keeping that clean sheet. To go along with that, he's made some wonderful saves as the ball finds Zudek, but it'll trickle back out to the back line. Bardi is going to look to head it to Lerno. Unsuccessful. It's the previous goal scorer. Timothy Haley's going to make something happen. Here's Kula. He'll play Lerno through and it will trickle between his two feet. Bard's going to take a touch. bet's going to take a interesting touch there into the middle of space, but it'll be one back by East Law Meadow. Ryan Cool on that right side. A wonderful through ball in Mccoan. Saved by Dudak. [Applause] Great ball in from Ryan Kulu doing just what he's supposed to
061do with that creativity at the center attacking mid. Dave Sarah Fenro just wants him to transition the ball there and make chances like that. He's done a great job there. Fortunately, Joe McGan wasn't able to put it away. Here's Walsh. Walsh. Walsh plays it back to Bardi. Lots of space, open midfield. Bet. >> It's a great ball played to Zudak. Unable to capitalize on it now. Goo lose it. And now it's Lerno. He finds Jack Walsh. This is a common combination that we've been seeing throughout the day so far. for Walsh will fire it in, but it's blocked by Austin Rmmer. Dudek will be challenged and it's a great shot fired in by Zudek, but is unsuccessful. There is a Belture Town player down. It's Gladoo, >> grabbing that right knee. >> Uh, seems we
062have an issue with the clock. And after a few malfunctions there with the clock, we are back into the game as Dudek will do a bit of time wasting. there. The dark arts similar to a save by Emmy Martinez previous in the game. Remind me of the club, the one he made in the World Cup to win Argentina, the World Cup. He times waste like Amy Martinez as well as Jason Mile will be in a rundown with Rise, but it'll be no problem as it's Nolan Garska who gets there first. Walsh will challenge that back line. And he'll put real pressure on it as cool is going to trickle away with one. Here's Zudac unsuccessful as Austin Rymer's going to get there first. Jason bet. Now it's Bardi. Jackson Ret will play out to Earl
063Wakiagas. They're going to look to switch the field here. Still have not seen Keegan done again. And here's Kua. plays out to the wing, but it'll be skyed over by Joe Mccoan unfortunately as you meadow remain two-nil down with around 12 minutes left. Dude plays it short. We'll find Barard with great location on that header. He'll find Jackson Rushing. We'll find Ryan Cool. Has had a great game so far. >> It's been the main source of creativity for these Spartans. Trigger goes out to Wretchen once again. Don't have to be specific with the first name anymore as it's only him, his brother Tyler. I have to call it Sfield. Suffulk. Apologies. Wakiaga goes in hard, but it's taken away by Veluretown. Zudek will get there first though on the ball played through on that left
064wing. Here's Bosle and no troubles for Wakiaga and Nolan Garska. The main problem here Meadow is trailing with 10 minutes left. Dudek, he's going to certainly take his time here, especially being up two nothing. He wants to ensure his team gets this victory right now. A win would be huge for the start of Belterstown season as they certainly have a tough schedule at the start out of the season taking on teams like Central as well. So who by the way bring in star Westside Super 7 Oenley Justin who is sure to make a big impact. I believe he's playing the number nine at Central. Jackson Rech will boot it up. >> To me, it's been a great performance from the Buildertown coaching staff as well. Something really just clicked in that second half. And that's
065just like wretching goes in hard there. No foul called about ankle to ankle. Wakiaga. And here's Walsh. Walsh fires it in, but it'll be blocked by the Veluretown back line. Trickled away to find Jason Bet. Jason Bette, he'll play Luca Shabelli. He'll take an interesting touch and no foul called. Oh, it will be advantage. Ball sent in. Oh, and it's just missed by Cool. And he'll miss an easy tap in there. [Applause] right. >> That's an unfortunate one as that one just trickled out to the back post, the back post there. Dudek gets away easy on that one as he keeps his clean sheet. Great set piece there from East Long Meadow. Just barely unable to capitalize on that one. Set pieces have been one of the best things for East Long Meadow tonight. [Music]
066And here's Mccoan. Joe Mccoggan's going to look to cross it in, but it'll be blocked by the Belchuretown back line. Goal kick for Belure Town there. Ramer's fired up. Just seven minutes to go. It's looking like to be an unfortunate start to the season for the Spartans. They were looking to pick up a bit of momentum here. Unfortunately, it's looking to be a bit unlikely due to X. Great performance in net tonight for the Orioles. Let's not forget some great performances from the Spartan as well. Jackson was great tonight and Jack Walsh as Jason Bette will get there first. 14 crossed in denied for the Orioles and >> Oh, he's jumping up and down cuz he won his second of the night. >> Throwing his hands up. Here's Dunigan now. Huge chance for the Orioles
067there. nearly made it three nothing. That would have been that would have certainly been the nail in the coffin. [Music] The Spartans and the Spartan fan shake their heads and disappointment and what seems to me be a flop is called a foul. And it will be a set piece here. Free kick for the Spartans coming in from that left or sorry for the Belturetown Orioles coming in from that left wing. Practically a corner just around the five yd line here. Crossed in by Mueller. Cleared out by Rechun again. He's been great on the aerial defense tonight. Shabelli goes in hard. He'll win it. >> Look to play the Spartans through but unsuccessful. Goes out to Jackson. Back to Shabelli now. He'll find Walsh. He lays it off to Kula who'll slide in and win it
068cleanly. Kula with some great physicality. Now he'll carry on. Apologies Keegan uh Coen Dunigan. I'm sorry. I thought that was Ryan Kula. Just by the way, technical creativity and walk get there first. Can't tell with the eight and the nine sometimes. Two players with similar playing styles. Both have done a great job tonight. Unfortunate for the loss, but clock's been stopped. 425 left in the season opener for the Spartans. One of the most important games you have in a year. Set the momentum. >> So Spartan fans begin to head home. Let's not give up yet. Now >> there's still a chance. >> Here's Walsh. >> One of the best attackers tonight for the Spartans. Had the most chances, most shots on net as well. Unfortunate to not have put any of those away. That high
069work rates really helped him out. As one trickles around, Cool won't be able to get a foot on it as it falls right behind him. Gladoo's got time. >> He's sent down. Luke's sent down by Wretchen. >> And the ball sent through on goal. GarcA's tested again and it's three nothing to the Spartans. It is officially a brace for Timothy Haley and Belchuretown put the nail in the coffin to end the season opener for the Spartans. >> Sure. of the game. >> You can't do that. >> Town goal was scored by number 15 Timothy Haley. [Applause] Certainly not the way the Spartans wanted to start this season out as they trail three nothing with just three minutes left in the second half. Timothy Haley has a brace now with Ryzac scoring the other one. The
070Spartan back line has been killed by the through balls in on goal now. All three goals practically coming from the same style of play. A few of the sophomores will come into the game. Shagru Vz and Dennis who is a junior all make their way in. So Spar seemed to have waved the white flag. Here's Shagru. Wretchen needs it to VZ finds bet on the outside. The freshman's done well tonight. No problems really on that left back position as he is typically a center back I'm pretty sure as he's tested here. Some great speed as he's be able to knock that one away from Stall. throw in for the Orioles here. >> Drake Dragon. >> Don't know if I'm going to find a better name than that all season long, but he is currently the
071front runner as they're going to bring the ball to the corner and shield it. minutes of the half will be kept on the field. >> It will be kicked off the Spartans and it will be or it will be kicked off the Orioles and it will be Spartans ball goal kick for Garska here >> with just two minutes remaining now. East Long Meadow dig themselves a pit early in the year. Definitely not the way they wanted to start out, especially against a team like Belchure Town who statistically they were supposed to defeat and were favored to win. >> I think the worst part about this is the clean she especially after last year as they weren't very successful in goal scoring. But Dudex's done a wonderful job in that for the Orioles. There's that is
072undeniable. Throwing from East Wong Meadow. It's Connor Dennis. Here's Antonio Bardi. He'll slide in. He'll catch the ankle of Belilture Town's Hoo. Here's Dunigan. Now, he's had quite he had a quite a game for himself. Same for Ryan Cul as he's now on that left wing as he goes down with an injury himself. Not sure what's happening here. Possibly a cramp. >> Cole struggled with injuries last year in his groin. This isn't good to see, but judging by the way he's stretching himself out, it's most likely just a cramp. Talking about the number nine for East Log Meadow. Cut back by McKen. It's a great set of skill as Esong Meadow look to find a last chance in here. And that is full time. The Spartans are defeated 3 nothing by the Belchuretown Orioles at
073home in the season opener. Thank everybody for tuning in. We will see you all next time.
