The Gorham boys’ soccer team (13-0-1), the top-ranked team in Division IV, traveled to Bethlehem to play No. 4 Profile (12-2) in the match of the week last Friday. The boys in blue showed their championship credentials by rallying from an early deficit to score five unanswered goals in a 5-1 win.
The Patriots wasted no time taking a 1-0 lead early but it was short-lived as Abe Backler took a pass from Cam Pake and beat the Profile goalie to tie the game at 1-1. From there the Saladino brothers — Jack and Brendan — took over. Each scored twice with Isaac Langlois adding two assists and the Huskies got the job done to keep pace with Concord Christain (10-0-1) as the lone unbeatens left in the division.
