CONWAY — Under the lights and on the turf field of Kingswood High School in Wolfeboro, the Knights (2-4), defeated the Kennett High boys’ soccer team 2-0 on Oct. 27, sending the Eagles (4-4) home, their season over, while the Knights advanced to the regional final on Saturday to take on Merrimack Valley (5-7), 5-0 winners over Plymouth (8-5). The Pride topped Kingswood 2-0 to reach the Final Four.
The cool, 40-degree evening with light sprinkles or mist throughout, seemed to work to the Knights advantage. Both Kingswood goals in the first half were far from pretty; in fact, both could be attributed to Kennett miscues in its defensive third. After 11 minutes predominantly played in the midfield with each team feeling the other out, the Eagles placed their first shot on goal off a long free-kick by Riley Hayes that the Knights keeper handled easily.
