(Morris Township,NJ)- The Morristown 1776 AFC opened their 2009 MCSSA season yesterday at Frelinghuysen Middle School facing old rival New Providence Pioneers.
1776 struck first as David Chase, from the sweeper position broke thru the Pioneer defensive line at the ten minute mark of the first half and beat the N.P. keeper.
Morristown held a lead on position in the first half and held off New Providence, including a goal line clear by defender Russell Bauer, for the first 43 minutes until a late first half tally sailed past Continental keeper Ryan Vinton to level the score at 1 apiece.
Manager Dan Clayton made the half time change to Mark Basso in the net and Basso made several quality stops to open the half. The Pioneers struck 15 minutes into the half to lead 2-1.
Morristown continued to stay back and counter attack and a chest pumping Clayton found the net off a Luis Guzman cross to tie the game once again with 10 minutes to play, but the Continentals allowed to quick strikes from the Pioneers at the 85 and 87 minute marks to fall 4-2.
1776 drops to 0-1 as New Providence goes to 2-0.
Morristown still has two home matches remaining this week at Frelinghuysen Middle School, Wednesday vs Parsippany Blues 20 and Friday vs Irvington Knights both at 6:30pm.
