11 Different Freshmen Score in Win Over Keene

The  Marauder Freshmen got their first experience on the side grass field next to the high school, and made the most of it. They faced Keene with the clouds burning off for a pleasant Saturday afternoon.

Hanover scored early and often. Birthday boy Bauti Gallino started the scoring for Hanover in just the 2nd minute after receiving a pass from Elias Zinman. Hanover would score again in the 7th minute. After Gallino played a short corner to Liam Collins, Collins crossed it in front of the goal mouth where Tyler Wittman would score his first goal of the season. Hanover kept dominating possession of the ball and would find the twine again in the 13th minute. After the ball was crossed in by Andy Rightmire, Aidan Rowley, by the back post, was able to finish with ease. Hanover was not done with its initial scoring barrage. Zinman headed home a cross from Collins in the 17th minute. After making a slew of substitutions, Hanover would score one more time before the half. Eli Silovich would successfully lead a counter attack after having a ball played from Dillon Bradley in the 30th minute.

Hanover would play many players in positions they had yet to play that year, but with great success. Tommy Madden scored in the 48th minute after driving home a rebound off the keeper. After continuing pressure within the 18, Caleb Benjamin would net the next goal in the 60th. Benjamin scored amidst a clutter of players including Colm Seigne, who had a shot on just prior, and Will Laycock, who played the ball to Seigne. After Nico Mayo-Pushee would come off due to a hard tackle, Christo Dragnev would blast one right off the keeper's hands for another goal in the 65th. Andy Rightmire, playing the left wing, was able to weave his way through for another goal in the 68th. Bradley would score in his return from the injured list on a rip from the top of the 18 in the 72nd. Hanover's final goal would be one of its finest. Madden would take a free kick off the corner of the 18 with close wall, but placed it right in front for Mark Ralston-Daniel running on to head it home to close the scoring in the 78th minute.

It truly was amazing to watch 11 different players scoring, and all the players giving it their all.

The Freshmen return to action on Tuesday with a home game against Pembroke on the HHS turf at 4:30.
