Maroon, FC Berkshire Reach Pittsfield Soccer League FinalBy Stephen Dravis, 09:35AM / Tuesday, August 08, 2023 | |
PITTSFIELD, Mass. – FC Berkshire and Maroon Monday earned spots in the championship game of the PIttsfield Soccer League.
The two sides are the last ones standing from the dozen that began play in the league earlier this summer. They will play at 6:30 on Wednesday at Wahconah Park to decide the title.
In Monday’s first semi-final, D.J. Saez scored about 10 minutes into the first half to provide the only goal of FC Berkshire’s 1-0 win over Vulture.
Vulture had a prime opportunity to tie the game just moments after Saez’ score, but keeper Mark Marzotto turned aside that opportunity.
In the second half, Vulture’s Sam Edge made several big saves to keep his team in the game, including a few in the last four minutes. At the other end, FC Berkshire’s defense came up big to help Marzotto maintain his clean sheet.
In Monday’s second game, Maroon scored the lone goal of the second half to take a 2-1 win from Brexit FC.
Ezra Ezan scored for Brexit in the first half, but Robert Milne supplied the equalizer for Maroon.
In the second half, Kelly Baker converted a shot from low on the left wing to put Maroon on top.
Jeff Egan earned the win in goal for Maroon. Zach Sullivan played in net for Brexit FC.
The Maroon went to the league finals last summer, falling on penalty kicks after a 1-1 game.
