Jon Zucco scored one in the first half and two in the second to lead ORR to their twelfth win of the season. Wind was a factor in this one with the Red's having problems keeping up with the ball with the wind at their back. The second half saw Wareham suffer the same fate.
With the wind in their face, ORR took control of the match with deft passing, tenacious defense and full control of the midfield with the three Musketeers, Houston, Sherman and Teefy. The defense was spotty in the first stanza but recovered nicely in the second playing intelligent and fast. The speed of play of ORR that was lacking in the opening half, was the difference in the last 40 minutes. Chris Hirallel, Marc Gammell, Boo Gaspar and Ted Kassabian easily broke up any threat the Vikings managed to muster, and initiated counter attacks that constantly put the home team on their heels.
Up front, Nick Coelho did a masterful job creating more havoc for the Vikings defense with his retreating play and pinpoint through passes for his mate making runs out of the back. Today however was Jon Zucco's day.
In the 16th minute Zuc got control of the ball during a goal line scramble and knocked home the game winner from 8 yds. At 4:40 of the second half, after a halftime self evaluation ORR came out with the determination that got them into the tournament this early in the season. The combination passing of Houston, Teefy and Sherman worked their magic on the left side of the pitch and confused Wareham enough to free up Zucco to take a pass from Max Sherman and slot home his second goal. Eight minutes later, Nick Coelho and freshman Chris Muther combined to beat the Vikings defense on the right side to assist Zucco for his hat trick.
The Bulldogs host Bourne on Monday evening Oct. 24th at 6:30 PM, and will play to avenge the 3-1 loss they suffered early in the season.
