Frosh Soccer Team Blanks Andover, 2-0

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Super-import Peter Bogovich kicked both Crimson goals for the freshman soccer team's 2-0 victory over Andover yesterday at Harvard.

The lanky Yugoslavian scored twice in the first quarter, and Harvard's defense had to hang on for three periods to save the shutout. The forward line got off 25 other shots in the game, but it could not score again.

The Yarlings' first tally came two minutes into the first period, after left wing John Runyan was tripped by an Andover defender. Bogovich took the penalty shot and slid it past the Andover goalie into the net.

Bogo blasted in his second goal from 20 yards out only seven minutes later.

Tight Defense

The Crimson defense held Andover without a shot in the first period. The only real Andover threat came with a scamble in front of the Harvard goal early in the second quarter. Andover fired two quick shots from close in, but Harvard goalie Bill Meyers made two sprawling saves to prevent the score.

Bogovich's two goals yesterday raised his season total to 12, second only to captain Solomon Gomez's 13 tallies. Bogovich and Gomez have accounted for all but two of the freshman scores this year.

Yesterday's victory kept the Yardlings undefeated. They have allowed only three goals to six opponents. Only one of those was scored on a field shot, by the previously undefeated Dartmouth team that fell to Harvard last week. The Yardlings have scored 27 times.

The Crimson freshman face a rugged University of Connecticut team this Saturday.
