Needing a good result to keep its state tournament hopes alive, the Lynn Classical boys soccer team answered the call with a 3-0 win over Winthrop on Thursday night.
The Rams scored all three goals in the second half for the win. Josh Blas scored two goals and Brian Morales scored one. Rams keeper Dan Cortes made five saves for the shutout win in net.
“Josh and Brian really carried us offensively today,” Classical coach Dominick Steadman said. “It was a real team-effort today. Everyone who played did a really good job.”
The Rams (4-5-2) visit Salem on Tuesday.
“We had a big five-game stretch that started Monday with a tie at Gloucester,” Steadman said. “We have three big games next week that we really need to get into the state tournament.”
BOYS SOCCER
Lynn Tech 5, Greater Lawrence 0
Juan Hernandez, Edson Alas, Omer Pojoy-Alexis, Geo Ramirez scored goals for the Tigers.
“We dominated the whole game,” Tech coach Jeremy McKeen said. “Our midfield played well. Greater Lawrence had a great defense and it took us a while to score but once we did we found our groove. We were able to play some of the guys that don’t get as much playing time so that was great.”
Tech keeper Edin Arreaga earned the shutout win in net.
“We spent most of the time trying to figure out their defense and how to break through,” McKeen said. “We finally figured that out. I have to shout out my captains, Greg Aragon, Teo Feliciano and Edson. These three guys bring 100 percent every time.”
The Tigers (7-3-1) are back in action on Tuesday at Northeast.
