NORTH KINGSTOWN – There was something noticeably different in the North Kingstown boys soccer team that took the field Tuesday night against South Kingstown and the one that played back on Sept. 1 and the players knew it.
“Our morale is better. We finally got our lineup together,” North’s Andy Hess said. “We’re playing more feet and working together as a team. We were working way too individual in the first game.”
With its parts finally working as one after a slow start to the season, North made the most of its opportunities Tuesday night as Hess scored three times and goalkeeper Thomas Mulligan did his best to keep SK off the scoreboard in the Skippers 4-1 win.
“Everyone kept saying ‘you must be young, you must be young,’ but we have a lot of senior leaders,” NK coach Kyle Froberg said. “It’s just those kids maybe didn’t play as much last year and they’re now getting that game experience and that gamesmanship, so to speak, and just know how to win now. Not to say it’s a finished product by any means, but we made the most of our opportunities (Tuesday) and we’re normally a team that doesn’t do that.”
