Husson, Windham advances on PKs

In a matchup of Division 1 powers, unbeaten Windham took down fellow Manchester Central, 3-2, on penalty kicks. Sam Husson scored the sudden-death game-winner in the sixth round and was immediately swarmed by his teammates.

The quarterfinal playoff game was deadlocked at 1-1 through overtime with Owen Larouco tallying for the Jaguars in the first half and the Little Green tying it with five minutes left in regulation. Preston Neal had three saves prior to the PKs and shined late.
The other PK goals were by the goalie Neal and Larouco.
It was almost deja vu as Thursday the Windham girls beat Central on PKs. That also was 1-1 in regulation.
The Windham boys will play Hanover in the semis. It's believed to be at Hanover Wednesday with the time TBA.
Coach Mike Hachey said after, "The story was Neal coming up big in PKs and scoring, too. He's our captain. Preston really set the tone. We beat a very good team. It took a lot of grit and will to win. I'm proud all-around."
One interesting note was the play of Adam Burke. A key reserve, earlier in the day in the day he played for the football team vs. Londonderry.
