The Sunapee varsity boys’ soccer team traveled to play against the Epping blue devils on Tuesday, and might I say it was their best game yet! Previously in the season the boys had tied 0-0 to Epping at home; so when traveling to Epping the Lakers thought it was going to be a tough, hard fought game.
In the first half senior Matthew Tschudin scored in the 38th minute by bending in a corner kick that the Epping keeper couldn't get a hold of. It looked like junior Mason Sailer had the second goal right at the end of the half, but during the intermission the refs pulled it back stating the ball did not cross the line before the ending whistle blew.
However, the scoring didn't stop there. The Epping blue devils scored two goals in the first ten minutes of the second half to take the lead 2-1. The Lakers fired back and in the 16th minute senior center back Deklan Peirce came up on a corner kick and got his b

The boys’ varsity soccer team traveled to play against Hinsdale on Thursday. The Lakers started the game very flat as they made flat runs and passed square balls where the opportunities weren’t able to line up for a finish. The Lakers had several opportunities where the ball crossed right through the six yard box, but unfortunately no one could get a solid foot on the ball. Senior Jonah flint turned away 13 shots on goal to seal the clean sheet for the evening. Hinsdale played faster, stronger and with much more courage to keep the game low scoring and two sided. However, senior Matthew Tschudin received a pass from senior Samuel Flint to earn a goal in the 30th minute. It ended up being just enough to earn a 1-0 victory.
The Lakers record improves to 7-3-2. The Lakers will travel to Epping (8-1-1) on Tuesday to hopefully net a few goals to secure a win to improve their record.
