In a major upset Saturday afternoon, the 9th-seeded Old Lyme boys stunned top-seeded Old Saybrook with three goals in the CIAC state quarter-final, while only allowing one goal past Wildcat keeper Spencer Saunders.
After a scoreless first half, Alex Klippinger scored first for the Wildcats when the Saybrook keeper caught his shot and then dropped the ball over his head allowing it to roll into the goal. Nate Peduzzi followed up with two superb goals, crushing the Rams brief come-back attempt when they scored a lone goal with the score at 2-0.
The ‘Cats now meet Cromwell in the semi-final at Guilford tomorrow.
Great job by a very young team. Their success this year shows how a team effort with excellent coaching can produce great results. And it will only get better with very strong Sophomore and Freshman players coming into the program. These boys will be fun to watch over the next few years!!
