Vicente Andrades has made scary-good moves on offense and defense for Newark this fall. |
NEWARK (Oct 25 10) – The Newark boys’ soccer team’s unfortunate fate of dropping close games continued last week in a 1-0 loss to Penn Yan Tuesday night, and a 3-2 overtime heartbreaker defeat at the hands of Mynderse on Friday night.
Coach Sandy Bueso said the Penn Yan game was “a great game by both teams. It was 0-0 at halftime. With 36 seconds left to play, the referee awarded Penn Yan a penalty kick.” Dan Burdette punched the ball past Newark keeper Nate Otero, who had made 13 stops to that point.
On Friday’s last regular-season game, the Reds got on the board first when James Jock scored off a Vicente Andrade feed. Mynderse, which was seeking the top seed in Section V, Class B, came right back to tie the score a minute later.
Against Newark scored, this time Kevin Zappia finished off an Andrade pass to bump the Reds ahead again, 2-1. But Mynderse responded with another game-tying score…and it was halftime. The deadlock continued into a second overtime, when Andy Lucchesi grabbed the game-winner for Mynderse.
“This was a tough loss,” said Bueso. “I’m very proud of the boys’ program. Now we are looking forward to our sectionals game at Honeoye Falls-Lima on Wednesday.” The Reds are 4-8-2 in the Finger Lakes East, 4-10-2 overall.
