JV Survives Another Shootout; Beats Laconia 6-4

The Marauder Junior Varsity defeated Laconia 6-4 on Wednesday, controlling the match from start to finish, but swapping goals after jumping out a 3-0 lead to keep in interesting until the end.
Goals by Zach Taylor, Ryan Brigham and Keegan Gantrish in the first ten minutes of the play gave Hanover a 3-0 lead on the tiny Opechee Park pitch. Chris Harwick assisted on the latter two goals.
Ian Strohbehn celebrated his return from Italy with the fourth goal of the period, assisted by Brigham, and the half ended with the Marauders on top by a 4-2 score.

Brigham completed his hat trick in the second half, matching the Laconia total that made the final score 6-4. Perhaps not a work of soccer art, but it gave the Marauders an 11-1 mark on the season with two games left to play, including Wednesday's road game at Plymouth, scheduled for a 4:30 kickoff.
