The Marauder JV won another highly satisfying road game on Tuesday, rallying from a 3-1 second half deficit with a three-goal burst in a five-minute span to earn a 4-3 triumph. Exeter jumped out to a quick lead in the fourth minute of play, as a long throw-in led to an open shot that beat Hanover goalkeeper Harris LaRock. The Marauders tied the game at 1-1 ten minutes later as Lincoln Adam's header off of a corner kick was saved by the Exeter goalie, and the rebound fell to Colm Seigne, who headed home his first goal of the year. Exeter regained the lead in the 35th minute, when a breakaway was saved by LaRock, but the rebound was converted.
Exeter increased their lead early in the second half on a far post finish and held the 3-1 advantage until there were less than 20 minutes left to play. Christo Dragnev got things started in the 63rd minutes, controlling Sawyer Hanlon's clinical chip over a defender and finishing clinically for his fourth goal of the campaign. Two minutes later Lincoln Adam, celebrating his return to the midfield, cracked a shot to the upper right corner, and the match was tied at 3-3. The Marauders weren't done. Two minutes later Dragnev carried the ball to the end line and hit a crossing pass that was converted by Pedro Gallino for his first high school goal.
The Marauders tightened their defense in the final 12 minutes of the match and came away with a satisfying second win of the season. Hanover outshot Exeter 14-6. Dragnev led the way with four, and Blake Palmer and Seigne each tallied two. LaRock collected his second win with three saves.
The Marauders take to the highway again on Friday for the long trek to Winnacunnet. Kickoff is at 4:00, and the bus departs at 1:00. Players will need to contact their 6th and 7th period teachers on Wednesday or Thursday. Wednesday training is at 2:30 at Dresden, and players are responsible for their own transportation
