Fishermen Beat Bulldogs, 2-1

Two Chris Peritore spot kicks lifted Gloucester (4-4-1) to a 2-1 come from behind victory over the visiting Lynn English Bulldogs.

Peritore earned the first penalty kick when he was held in the box while going for a lose ball. Then, inside ten minutes to play Marcos Rodrigues was tripped in the box to earn the second penalty.

Lynn English had taken the lead early in the first half when a foul just outside the penalty box led to a Lynn English free kick and goal.

Strong play from the Gloucester back four frustrated the Bulldog strikers in the second half. The weather may also have played a factor; neither team scored while facing the strong wind.

The Fishermen varsity and junior varsity now play Catholic Memorial, ranked #13 in the most recent Boston Globe Eastern Massachusetts boys' soccer poll.
