BOYS’ SOCCER Chariho 2 Hendricken 0
Sweepers don’t score many goals, but Chariho’s Gaelen Oliver netted one Thursday and it helped the Chargers cement a Division I crossover victory.
Chariho was clinging to a 1-0 lead when Oliver scored, assisted by Ryan Gilman with 14 minutes left in the game.
“Oliver won possession at midfield, continuted to dribble through, made a wall pass and got it back, switched fields to Gilman, who crossed it back into the middle to Oliver, who kept his run going and scored from just inside the 18,” Chariho coach Mike Shiels said.
“It was a good bang-bang play by both guys.”
Junior Alex Prevey scored Chariho’s first goal and the first of his career seven minutes into the game. The Chargers had the ball on a restart and Shea Kelley hit a cross to the far post. Prevey headed the ball and when it came back to him he kicked it in, Shiels said.
Hendricken (5-4-2, 5-4-2 Division I-Central) had 13 shots, three more than Chariho but couldn’t find the net. Brad Borsay made seven saves for the Chargers, who are now 7-2-3 overall, 6-2-3 in Division I-South. Chariho is tied for second place in the four-team division, three points behind North Kingstown.
Chariho will try to win the first Chariho Sports Boosters Invitational Soccer Tournament when it hosts Westerly in the boys’ finals Saturday at 6 p.m.
