Wilton Boys U9 Fall to New Canaan, 2-4
Wilton Blue suffered a 2-4 loss at Merwin Meadows against New Canaan on Sunday, June 3. New Canaan got off to a quick start, going up 2-0 in the early minutes of the game. But the Warriors answered back, with a powerful goal by Gavin Levenherz set up by strong attacking pressure from Giacomo De Paola. For the remainder of the first half Wilton held strong, led by goalkeeper Conor Filip and defenders Liam Backman, Mario Coppola and Jack Mulfinger. Before the halftime whistle Wilton leveled the game with a beautiful left-footed strike by Jake Albanese.
In the second half New Canaan scored early again, but Wilton kept up the pressure throughout with coach Ritesh Mistry directing the team. De Paola played strong in goal, with Backman, Albanese, and Filip on defense. Caio Thakur and Joshua Comiskey worked tirelessly to push the ball down the field, and Sean Kaliski and Ryan Vermeulen had great attempts on goal. Despite their efforts, the Warriors were scoreless in the second half, and New Canaan tacked on one more goal to win by two.
