6/6...After a long night of parting to the MPC Summer Kickoff party, we faced a tough and quick ball moving Harvard Medical who beat us 2-1. The first goal came to Harvard Medical who beat the offside trap and was left 1 on 1 with the keeper who still got a piece, but hit off the post and rolled in. Milford hit the post 2 times in the following minutes with one off the keepers hands on a freekick to the crossbar, and the 2nd off the far post after run, both by Paul who had the chances. Harvard Medical almost made it 2-0 before the half on another one two passing with the goalie coming up big. Manny Goncalves made it 1-1 just before the half with Lou Gomes making a nice cross and Manny running on to it and putting past a diving keeper. With the weather getting hotter in the 2ndhalf both teams were end to end action with plenty of misses on both ends. Manny nearly made it 2-1 on a header just putting it over after the keeper made a big save. Harvard counter with runs down the middle and almost made it 2-1 also. With 10 minutes to go Harvard had a 3 on 2 down the middle to make it 2-1. Milford tried to get the equalized but the heat and Harvard defence just kept us in check. With the loss Milfordmoves to 3rd. More site updates later...
