referring to Todd Krol-Corliss and Danny Kubkowski.
The teams know each other so well, that familiarity can be a dou-
ble-edged sword, Crusaders coach Jo Gardner said.
“It’s tough to get any secrets by them, they know us so well and we
know them so well,” she said. “I’d prefer playing a team I’ve never
seen before.” The teams split their two games this season, and came
into the title tilt with identical 15-4 records.
The Pats scored just 4:20 into the contest as Hunt and Ross raced
for an airborne ball out front. The ball had backspin on it, so that it
bounced back to Hunt. It went in the air again and Hunt headballed it
into the open net for a 1-0 lead. “Hanzon is always in the right spot
doing those things, and he did it again today,” Detamore said.
Quality chances weren’t numerous in the rest of the first half. Kub-
kowski had a semi-breakin at 32 minutes left. He was defended well
but still manged a decent left-footer which senior GK Jordan Brus-
seau saved. A booming Young direct kick sailed over the Littleton net.
The Crusaders defended well a pass from sophomore Connor Ash
to senior Dylan Robie at the side of the net (21 minutes), as well as a
nice block of a Hunt bid (16 minutes) after Hanzon carved out some
space with decent dribbling. With 10 minutes left, a headball by LHS
junior Christian Silveira off a nicely-served pass went wide in what

“Littleton is a really good team, they had their chances, but we took
ours and shut them down when we needed to,” Wennrich said after
the awards ceremony. “We deserved to win, it was one of our better
games this year.”
“It feels absolutely incredible,” Young said. “From my freshman
year we’ve been saying this was the year we wanted to win – in my
senior year, and we pulled it off. Four years in the making, we finally
did it, and it’s absolutely the best feeling. I grew up with all these
kids.”
That rapport was not lost on Detamore.
“I’ve never had to work on ‘building a team’. These guys are good
friends, they work their butts off all the time, in the summer they’re
out there playing at the Dow Academy field in Franconia – their
hearts are really into soccer. This is a great group of guys, and I feel
fortunate to have coached them the past two years. They’re ton of fun
to hang out with, I play with ‘em every day in practice.”
