NEEDHAM, Mass. – Trailing by a goal, Mansfield was finally getting some attacking pressure as the second half began.

James Chotkowski laid the ball off to Sean Lanzillo near midfield and the sophomore was able to dribble across the width of the field, eventually laying it off to senior Charlie Rogers. Rogers took a touch into the area and unleashed a shot that forced Needham goalie Simon Shulman into a diving save.

But two minutes later on the other end, a blocked shot fell to the feet of Cormac Lynch-Collier and he placed his shot perfectly at the far post to make punctuate Needham’s 2-0 win over Mansfield.

“We were carrying the play in the beginning of the second half,” Mansfield head coach Steve Sheridan said. “We had that great exchange and then they scored and it took the wind out of our sails. We fought them until the end though. We just weren’t shooting. You can’t win if you don’t score and we just didn’t shoot enough.”

It was a strong defensive effort on the original effort but the bounce fell right to Lynch-Collier and his shot left Kirejczyk no shot.

“That seemed to deflate them,” Needham coach Jimmy Odierna said. “If you’re only up 1-0, it doesn’t matter who you’re playing against or how much you’re controlling the game. If they get one opportunity they can tie it up and it’s a whole new ball game. That was probably our frustration from the beginning is that we weren’t finishing our opportunities. Their keeper did a great job, their back line did a great job.”

The Rockets had control of the game from the get go and nearly took the lead in the 25th minute. Needham’s Donnie Igo was able to get a touch to the ball before Mansfield keeper Michael Kirejczyk could get to it and centered a pass to Jeremy Stern but his shot was blocked by Chris Elsner.

Just three minutes later, the Rockets did find the back of the net from seemingly nowhere. After large spells of possessions, the Rockets earned this throw after a poor clearance. Igo launched a throw into the area and Michael Aksman rose above his man and tucked his header into the corner for a one goal lead heading into the break.

The Hornets were able to really limit the Rockets, who have only lost a pair of games this season, in the first half. Elsner along with Max Gurnon were a formidable duo in the center and didn’t allow Igo — arguably one of the top scorers on one of the top teams in the state — to get much going at all. Igo scored four goals in the first round in a win over BC High.

“They doubled up our star up top and that really took him out of the game and made us work for our goals differently,” Ordierna said. “I think that helped us posses the ball a little more. When they had to be a little more offensive, they took it to us. They’re athletic, they’re fast. They’re very dangerous on their set pieces and they had some opportunities we were able to stop and that was the difference.

“To be honest we haven’t seen it much, which is evident from his goal scoring,” Ordierna said of the marking on Igo. “This is the first team that wisely did that and I expect it here on out. It was a well coached decision from them.”

One set piece that was stopped came in the 56th minute. Elsner ripped a free kick from 35 yards out that was targeted for the right upper 90 but Shulman lept up and got a hand to it, forcing it to hit the bar and go over the net.

Kirejczyk came up with a big save when Igo did finally get his first year shot on goal, taking a feed from Stern and taking a shot from inside the area but the low bid was saved. Sophomore Harry Braidt also had a sliding stop after a long cross looked to be deflected on target.

“A lot of the 50-50 balls we were able to get to,” Sheridan said. But they controlled the second [balls]. One thing they did really well was getting the ball away from pressure. Doesn’t matter where on the field, they get it away from pressure to a man on their team. They did it really, really well, they are a very good team.

“Overall we played well, we just didn’t control the middle of the field as much as I would have wanted. We did it to a point but not enough.”

Mansfield, the Kelley-Rex champs, finish 13-3-3 overall with its first league title since 2006.

Staples' Late Tally Lifts Mansfield Over King Philip

MANSFIELD, Mass. – Mansfield junior Kevin Bouck picked a pretty good time to score his first goal of the season, giving the Hornets the lead with less than a minute to play in the first half.

Senior Jake Staples picked an even better time for his.

Staples got on the end of a long free kick from junior Max Gurnon, lunging in the area to get his head to the ball and find the back of the net to break a tie game with just over 10 minutes to play.

The goal would hold up over the final minutes and Mansfield picked up a 2-1 win over King Philip in the Second Round of the D1 South tournament.

“All three games that we’ve played have been anyone’s match,” Mansfield head coach Steve Sheridan said. “There’s been a total of five goals in the three games, it’s always a hard fought game. They’re great. [Joe] Kellett to me is one of the best players around, he’s unbelievable. I can’t say enough about him or Cam [Mullins], they’re both great players.”

After a delay for continuation, the referee whistled KP for a high kick just before midfield. Gurnon hit a line drive ball right over the top of the defense and Staples sprinted in right behind and headed the ball in for the game winner.

“We’re not used to having someone like Staples do a diving header but you know, it was a beautiful goal,” Sheridan said. “We’re a deep team…certain guys in certain games. Staples was playing great in the first half and I put him back in in the second half and he scores that great game winning goal. Kevin only played the last eight minutes in the first half and scored the goal. He came off the bench cold too.”

It was a battle throughout the first half, and really throughout the entire game. King Philip sophomore Larsen Keys had the first chance of the game, taking a cross from junior Colby Koch but his shot went just wide at the far post.

In the 14th minute, Tyler Mann ripped in a cross that was dropped by Mansfield goalie Michael Kirejczyk but he was able to get a touch to the loose ball and it was cleared away.

Mansfield’s first chance came in the 19th minute as Jareme DiLirenzo muscled his way through KP’s defense and unleashed a shot from a tight angle but Brandon Ziolkowski was in position at the near post.

The Warriors dominated possession over the final 10 minutes of the first half, stringing together at least a spell of over a dozen passes before a cross was collected by Kirejczyk,

The Hornets first tally came from seemingly nothing as Sean Lanzillo blocked a clearance and quickly fed Charlie Rogers in. Rogers raced to the end line and then centered a cross back where Bouck easily buried it into the back of the net with less than a minute to play in the first half.

It didn’t take long for the Warriors to level the game in the second half, knotting the game at one less than four minutes in. Senior captain Joe Kellett came away with a steal at midfield, took a touch before sending Mann down the left flank. Mann did well with his hold up play, allowing Kellett to come on an overlapping run and he laid it off. Kellett took possession, raced towards the end line and hit a perfect low cross back across the middle and sophomore Mike Rowe slotted it into the corner of the net.

Midway through the second half, the Warriors thought they had earned a penalty kick. Mann took control in his own half and raced nearly 60 yards before being taken down from behind right on the edge of the area. The ref originally seemed to point to the spot for a PK but instead it was placed at the 20 yard line. Kellett’s ensuing free kick was unable to elude the wall and was cleared.

Staples’ goal came with just over 10 minutes to play and neither side was able to register a scoring chance in the remaining time, despite five long throw in opportunities for KP.

“A loss is always a sour taste in your mouth but when you have two good teams that battle it out, and that was one hell of a goal on that second one from Mansfield, it’s kind of hard to walk away and say you didn’t try to earn it,’ King Philip head coach Nick Gale said. “The kids left it all out there. It was a well deserved win on their part. Out of the three games we’ve played them, that was probably the best they’ve played.

“Our objective was to play good soccer and be the better soccer team. That’s the way we’ve been training and the philosophy we’ve followed. We wanted to beat them playing good soccer and I think we came up short. But we worked hard on it.”

KP finishes the season 8-8-3 overall. Mansfield is now 13-3-3 and will advance to the Quarterfinals of the D1 South tournament and will travel to #4 Needham on Sunday. The time is still to be announced.

Hornets Beat Franklin, Seize Control of Kelley-Rex

By Lance Reynolds, HockomockSports.com Contributor
MANSFIELD, Mass. – Charlie Rogers’ goal in the fifth minute of Monday night’s Kelley-Rex clash between Mansfield and Franklin sure was a welcome sight for the struggling Hornet offense.
In the previous two games against Sharon and King Philip, Mansfield was held off the scoreboard so the Hornets knew a fast start was going to be needed against the Panthers.
Senior captain Jared Miller launched a 20 yard shot off of the crossbar and Rogers was in the right place at the right time as he was able to recover the ball and put it into the back of the net giving Mansfield a quick 1-0 lead.
“We talk all the time about following up each other’s shots and that’s what (Rogers) did,” Mansfield head coach Steve Sheridan said.  “Jared took his shot, went off the crossbar, and Charlie was going right in and he was right there.”
Just two minutes into the second half, Miller recorded his second assist when he found senior Jack Reilly open from 15 yards out.  Reilly gathered the pass and rifled the shot to the far post of the goal giving the Hornets comfort room with a 2-0 lead.
“He’s (Miller) just coming back from a knee injury and I wasn’t sure if he was going to play before the game but he ended up playing a heck of a game,” Sheridan said of Miller’s performance. “I think he was more determined than ever for this game.  He was prepared for this game.”
Mansfield had several chances to increase their lead to three but the Franklin defense had other ideas.  In the 56th minute, Jareme DiLorenzo broke away from the pesky Panther defense and found Sean Lanzillo.  After a couple dribbles, Lanzillo fed Chris Elsner near the goal and Elsner took a chance at goal but Franklin goalie Henri Guilmette came up with the save.  Two minutes later in the 58th minute, Max Gurnon’s free kick went off the bar forcing a corner.  Elsner took the corner finding Miller but Guilmette dove to the right to stop the ball from going in.
From there, Franklin dominated possession time and gave Mansfield a scare.  Cam LeBlanc pulled the Panthers within a goal in the 61st minute.  LeBlanc came away with the ball after a scrum with the Hornet defense and shot it near the right post.
A minute later, Franklin had an opportunity to tie the score at two but Kevin Hall’s shot went just right of the net.  In the 67th minute, Patrick Kapples found LeBlanc on a cross but the ball, again, went right of the net.
The last real scoring threat came in the 78th minute.  After a Wesley Kozil throw-in resulted in a scrum in the box, Hatim Brahimi came away with the ball and took another chance at goal.  This time, however, the ball was over the bar.
“I knew that they were going to come out in the second half.  Tonight’s battle we were both tied for first place and whoever comes out of this game controls their own destiny for the rest of year with three games left.  I knew they were going to come out and thank God that Jack got that one goal right off the bat to give us a two goal cushion,” Sheridan said. “They pressed us and I went with five midfielders after we scored that goal just to try to control the midfield and that’s what it was, it was an extra defender in the midfield.”
Leading the Mansfield defense was senior captain Chris Elsner.  Whenever the Panthers got near striking distance, it seemed as though Elsner was always finding a way to break up the scrums and give the ball back to the Hornets with clearances.  In addition to his tenacious defense, Elsner had several attacking throw-ins but the Hornets weren’t able to make the most of them.
“That’s what his job is – to control the midfield and help us move up when he can and his big throws have been key,” Sheridan said of Elsner. “We’ve scored a lot off of his throws but unfortunately we didn’t get any today.  His defense has been rock solid and we can’t ask for anything more from him.”
The win clinches the Hornets a spot in the tournament as well as giving them the sole lead for first place in the Kelley-Rex.
“It feels great.  We’ve finally got enough points, we qualified for the tournament and hopefully we can hold (Franklin) off for the league.  I feel really good about the tournament,” Sheridan said. “I said that was our number one goal was to just qualify for the tournament.  If we can get our offense going, I like our chances.”
Mansfield (8-3-2) hosts North Attleboro on Friday while Franklin (8-5) travels to Xaverian for a non-league game on Wednesday.

FOXBORO, Mass. – They are always worth one point but in the game of soccer, there are good ties and there are bad ties.
Canton and Mansfield battled for 80 minutes but neither side could find the back of the net in a 0-0 draw at Gillette Stadium on Wednesday.
So what this a good or bad draw? Depends on who you ask.
“I thought it was a fine result for us,” Canton head coach Danny Erickson said. “We really wanted to win that game. We thought we had them on their heels for most of the second half, at least the last 20-25 minutes. They’re a very good team, they’re tough and strong. They dominated quite a bit of the play in the first half, I thought we played quite poorly in the first half and couldn’t put anything together. I think we settled down in the second half, withstood a pretty good attack from them in the first 10 minutes of the second half and once we got one chance, we loosened up and I thought we played great.
“So was it a good tie or a bad tie? I’m sure the first place team in the Kelley-Rex thinks it was a bad tie. I don’t think it was a good tie for us, but it was a fair result tonight. We got better tonight and we got better as the game went on and we’re hoping that will continue.”
Mansfield, who was coming off its first loss of the season, was unable to find the back of the net for the second consecutive game.
“A tie,” Mansfield head coach Steve Sheridan said when asked if it was good or bad. “I wouldn’t take anything away from that program but we expected to win so I’ll classify it as not a good tie.
“We just couldn’t finish. It’s been our problem all year. We may be 7-1-2 but we can’t finish and that’s not going to be good in the tournament.”
The Hornets controlled the majority of the first half but couldn’t cash in, despite a good chance in the first five minutes and then two more in the final five minutes of the opening half.
Mansfield senior Jack Reilly gained possession in the center of the pitch shortly over midfield and was able to carry the ball into the attacking third. Reilly then played a through ball that senior Charlie Rogers ran onto in the area and fired a one time shot but Canton goalie Abe Garber was off his line and blocked the shot wide.
Mansfield had a handful of corners and long throw ins, which is what they have used to create a lot of their chances so far this year, but Canton’s back line and Garber dealt with all of them.
In the 37th minute, Mansfield’s Chris Elsner served in a cross to the near post that James Chotkowski got on the end of but his touch went wide. In the final minute of the half, senior Jared Miller used a clever chip to get past a defender and into the area and slid a pass across to Sean Lanzillo, but Canton defender Paolo Ruggeri was able to get there first and push the attempt wide.
“I was very proud of how was defended all night long,” Erickson said. “I thought the whole 80 minutes we defended well and we defended restarts well. Physically we aren’t what they are so it was a big challenge. I thought we had to defend a lot less when we started to play a bit more.”
Mansfield nearly cashed in the 63rd mintue after a long throw from Max Gurnon bounced around in the area before sophomore Nick Hyland placed a shot on goal but Garber was in good position for the save.
“I’m very proud of the guys,” Erickson said. “We played poorly in the first half. I would guess they had 15 corners tonight which is an insanely high tonight and we stood strong on everyone of them. Our goalkeeper Abe Garber deserves a good tip of the hat tonight, it was his first career shutout. Certainly a good place to get it. We would have loved to get a goal and we thought we had three really good chances in the last 10-15 minutes and we were hoping to win that game.”
The final 15 minutes belonged to the Bulldogs. A shot in the 75th minute that would have likely tested Mansfield goalie Michael Kirejczyk at the bottom corner was blocked by a defense. In the 77th minute, sophomore Jake Verille took the ball down the left sideline and whipped in a cross but it was just out of the rest of freshman Paul Corcoran at the far post.
Although Mansfield was unable to score, the backline of Elsner, Gurnon, Hyland, Harry Braidt along with Kirejczyk notched the team’s seventh shutout of the season in 10 games played. After surrendering four goals in the team’s appearance at Gillette last season against Foxboro, it was a better showing in 2015.
“It was nice to have a clean sheet,” Sheridan said. “Last year, we were way too hyped and they scored a couple goals in the first few minutes. This time it was more like a business meeting, we were calm defensively the whole game we just couldn’t get our offense going.”
Canton (3-5-2, 3-4-2) will look to conclude what has been a strong week with another good result on Friday with a trip to Franklin. Mansfield (7-1-2, 7-1-1) will look to get back in the win column on Saturday when they host Foxboro on Saturday afternoon.
