The teams kept answering each other, goal for goal, with EG getting the last word.

They played well," said Avenger Coach Patrick McGuirl. "We were lucky to get out of here. They didn't give up right up to the last minute. They had one called back for a foul.

East Greenwich earns the determining goal in the first half of the Friday afternoon game

East Greenwich would score the only goal of the game in a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Narragansett Friday afternoon in boys’ soccer action.

EGHS Boys Soccer Take Season Opener Against Prout, 1-0

Tyler Amaral scores the only goal of the game in the first half

Even without the 12 varsity players who graduated in June, the young Avenger boys soccer team did better than hold up against Prout Thursday night at Carcieri Field - they beat them, 1-0. “Good start, boys,” said Coach Pat McGuirl after the game, as the boys picked up their things and started to head for the locker room. In reviewing the game, McGuirl said that the biggest change this year is that the defenders are all new starters - one freshman, two sophomores and a junior - but they did all right on Thursday. Goalie and senior Oscar Goodwin agreed. “There are some big kids on the other team and they held their own, which was really good,” Goodwin said of the defense. Goodwin performed well too, with 11 saves on the game and no goals …
