MS BOYS' SOCCER
9/14/22:  LNC 0 - Country Day 5
Liam Cuis had an amazing 8 saves in the first half and this kept the game close. Sean Bryne had a great game defending against the attack. LNC showed improvement in teamwork, communication and passing. The coaches recognize Abhinav Bodavala for a strong game on the wing. 

9/13/22:  The boys lost to an excellent Holy Trinity team at home. The weather was great and the player improvement from start to finish was also great. Part of the LNC mission is to lead. Shreyas Polishetty and Graham Booker modeled this well for the team. The midfielders worked hard but lost the battle against the physically larger Holy Trinity mid-field. The coaches would also like to recognize the efforts of TJ Pacitto and goalkeeper Caleb McClanahan for the saves he made.
