David Menzies and Artur Silva scored second-half goals to help Putnam Science Academy’s varsity soccer team beat Winchendon 4-1 Oct. 30. Javy Moscardo and Luca Almeida got the Mustangs going in the first half with a pair of early back-to-back goals, but PSA couldn’t build from there, and the lead at halftime was just 2-1.
“The first 20 minutes or so of the first half were very good, they were sharp,” said coach Ivan Damulira. “But it’s something that happens and we have to keep working on, when we get up by two goals, the play sinks and a goal happens. Then we have to regroup and pick our play back up.”
Damulira was pleased with the overall play of left back Alvaro Redondo.
“Man of the Match,” Damulira said. “Very solid in his position, he connected his passes as the team built up from the back. It’s something we have been working hard for him to improve on. This was his best game this season.”
The Mustangs had an easier time of things a day earlier when they toppled Rectory 9-2 behind two goals apiece from Jaidyn Robinson and Sergio Tejera.
Javy Moscardo played extremely well with a goal and four assists, while Jaime Mendo, Aaron Estravit, David Menzies, and Xavi Lee all scored once for the Mustangs (7-3-1).
The girls’ soccer team (7-0) had its lone game of the week cancelled because of poor playing conditions at Williams. The team is next scheduled to play Nov. 22.
