Danvers High School Soccer Boosters

The Falcons returned to Dr Deering Stadium for their first home game of the season

against the visiting Panthers. The visitors would control the ball much of the first half

keeping the Falcons on their heels and testing the Falcons back line. Keeper Zach

Cotter made some huge saves keeping the Falcons in it early however the Panthers

would find the back of the net twice in the half and take a 2-0 lead into halftime.

Beverly would take a 3-0 lead about 10 minutes into the 2nd half capitalizing of a

Falcons turnover in midfield. The Falcons, however, would gain some momentum

after the 60thminute and pull the game to 3-2. Senior Michael Rinella would finish a

great individual effort up the left sideline finding the back of the net off the far post.

Rinella’s goal was followed shortly after by senior Bradley Piscitello's first goal of the season

off a feed from junior Luca D’Angelo. The Panthers would put the Falcons under

intense pressure in the final 10 minutes and find the back of the net 2 more times.

Final Score Danvers 2 Beverly 5
