School Roundup: Tech, Classical boys soccer play to draw

The Lynn Classical and Lynn Tech boys soccer teams met back in September to begin the regular season and on Monday at Manning Field, the two put an end to the regular season with an entertaining contest.The Tigers twice fought back after Classical took the lead, salvaging a 2-2 tie on Edwin Alas’ goal with seven minutes left in the second half.”It was very close all the way,” Rams coach Rob Upton said. “Anytime you get two Lynn teams together it’s going to be a tight one. We’re both in the tournament so we were fighting for pride.”Salvador Castro gave Classical (10-3-4) a 1-0 lead at halftime on a goal assisted by Abdoulaye Bah. Tech clawed back to tie the game on a Francisco Franco penalty kick early in the second.But the Rams retook the lead when Castro struck again, this time, unassisted at the midpoint of the half.”They got that second goal and it really seemed to pump us up a bit,” Tech coach Fred Gallo said. “Usually that can be a killer but it worked the opposite for us.”The Tigers put on the pressure and Alas paid it off when he beat Don Gomez on a free kick to deadlock things for good.”Both teams played fantastic,” Gallo said. “Sure, you would like to win but both sides played so well that a tie was well deserved.”Lynnfield 3, Fenwick 1At Donaldson Field in Peabody, the Pioneers (15-3) completed a brilliant regular season as Marco Addonizio tied the game in the first half and George Levantakis added a pair of second half goals.Midfielder Steve Carangelo had two assists while Pete Franchi shut down things on the back line for Lynnfield.Peabody 3, Masco 1At Peabody, the Tanners (12-5) stunned the powerhouse Chieftains as the hosts scored three unanswered goals after trailing 1-0 early.Thiago Gloria’s unassisted goal tied the game for Peabody and Colin Mahoney put the Tanners ahead for good, assisted by Tommy Drover.
