The Andes boys’ soccer team continued to add to their resume, showing grit and resilience and the ability to bounce back yesterday in Windham. Coming off the heels of their first loss of the season against Stamford on Tuesday, the Mountaineers fired back dominating Windham, 5-0, in a critical Delaware League match-up. The victory keeps Andes very much in the Delaware League’s Mountain Division title chase.

A stifling Andes defense and smothering play in the goal by Josh Bonifacic was the foundation of the Andes win. Bonifacic and the Andes defense turned in their first shutout of the season.

Andes kicked their offense into gear almost immediately with Peter Fabrykiewicz scoring the first goal of a hat trick only four and one-half minutes into the game. The junior forward worked the ball near the end line delivering his scoring strike from eight yards out.

Junior midfielder Ian Wright scored the first goal of his career using a Farrykiewicz assist to find the nets, and give the Mountaineers some space with under eight minutes to play in the half. Wright’s goal held until half-time giving Andes a 2-0 lead at the intermission.

Fabrykiewicz completed his hat trick in the second half. The three goals give the highly skilled striker 13 goals on the year. Eric Reed continued his impressive play in the midfield and netted Andes final goal of the game.

The win improves Andes record to 5-1. The Mountaineers play next at Gilboa on Monday, September 28.
