The Lynn Classical boys soccer team didn’t see Lynn English in the Lynn City Tournament at all this weekend, but the two teams clashed on Monday evening at Manning Field with the Rams coming out on top, 2-1.
Chris Zelaya notched the first goal for Classical (2-1), then Brian Morales scored the game-winner with just over 25 minutes remaining in the game.
“We played a pretty sleepy first half, to be honest,” said Classical coach Dominick Steadman. “But we came out and played a great final 40 minutes and we were able to gut out a nice win.”
The Rams will host Gloucester at Manning Field on Wednesday.
