Fitness Dooms Continental Comeback

(Bloomfield,NJ)- The Morristown 1776 AFC fell 5-2 to Winter Rovers at Brookdale Park in Bloomfield Monday night.

Morristown went down 2-0 in the first half but countered with a Russell Bauer goal just before the break.

The second half started with some back and forth play until Continental midfielder Rob Linepinuel struck with a 35 yard blast that found the upper corner of the Winter Rover net to notch the score at two with 20 minutes to play and set off one of the more passionate celebrations in Morristown history, but the Rovers struck with 3 late tallies as Morristown never again put a serious attack on net.

Fitness seemed to squash the Morristown comeback for the second time this year, the also tied the score last week againist New Providence late in the second half.

Morristown next plays Wednesday night at Parsippany Gators.
