Sachem Speed Grind Out Big Win
The Sachem Speed, a girls U10 soccer travel team, gutted out a tough 1-0 victory over previously undefeated Commack Wildfire.
The Speed, who play in the Long Island Junior Soccer League’s Suffolk Major Division, scored late in the first half off a well placed corner kick. There was a scramble in front of the Commack goal and the Speed was able to bury the ball into the back of the goal.
The entire team then buckled down on defense and kept Commack off the scoreboard. It was the first win for the Speed after two ties and one loss.
Coaches Rob Rinfret and Dan Papele expect the Speed to battle for first place in what looks like an extremely competitive division.
Rinfret treated the girls to ice cream after the game.
“They earned it,” he said, “they played great.”
