2003-2004 Fall Season Summary: Varsity Boys' Soccer

The Boys Varsity Soccer Team finished the season with a thrilling 0-0 tie against perennial soccer powerhouse Loomis-Chaffee. In this contest the defense, manned by Rod Barboza in net, sweeper and Captain-elect Chris Taft, Elan Rotklein as stopper, and outside backs Jeff Nordaas and Ben Cook did a superb job turning back many solid attacks even with strong gusting winds blowing against the Lions. Ably led by this year's captains Nico Drojohowski and Alden Cook, the game highlighted the heart and hustle that were the cornerstones of the team.

Early in the season, Trey Archer the team's leading scorer, scored twice in a well-played match against Williston-Northampton while Matthew Heslop was able to score a beautiful goal in the final minute of play to break a tie against Berkshire. Much hustle, defense and offense were displayed throughout the season from outside midfielders Sean Becket, Ryan Miner and Danny Drohojowski. Many players this season such as Graham Drury, Greg MacFarlane and Brent Herbert played in new positions and their willingness to put forth 100% effort into the changes was admirable. All in all, despite the setbacks, the Boys Soccer Team had a memorable season.
