Local Roundup: Sunapee Boys Win in OT

Pittsfield, n.h. — Lane Smith’s overtime goal gave the visiting Sunapee High boys soccer team a 2-1 victory over Pittsfield on Monday afternoon.

Smith’s goal came three minutes into overtime and was assisted by Carson Garland, his second helper of the afternoon. The Lakers had taken the lead in the 33rd minute when Michael Mullen scored on a feed from Garland. Pittsfield would knot the contest on a strike early in the second half.

“Both teams created opportunities in the remainder of regulation time,” Sunapee coach Jack Iacopino said.

The Lakers had the better of the play, holding a 20-9 advantage in shots and a 7-4 edge in corners. Keeper Will Palin made six stops, including a game-saving play late in regulation when his quick reflexes stopped a misguided clear by a teammate from becoming an own goal. Palin leaped and barely tipped the clear over the upper right corner to keep the score tied at 1-1.

Sunapee (4-2) visits Concord Christian on Wednesday.

The teams agreed to play four 20-minute quarters because of warm game-time temperatures and Lisbon’s short bench. The timing may have disrupted the Engineers after a fast start to the game.
