If Pelham keeps playing like this, its won-loss record will just about match its level of confidence.

In the biggest win of head coach Matt Regan's four-year tenure, the Pythons took down Division 2 preseason favorite Coe-Brown, 3-1, in an early matchup of unbeatens.

Jed Magnusson recorded assist No. 29 of his career. One more will put him into the New Hampshire state record book, coach Al Magnusson said. Jed helped Sanborn earn a 2-2 tie against Epping. 

A natural hat trick from Chris Ulbrich contributed to history as Windham won its first varsity soccer match, 4-0 over Milford. Chris Ferri and David Goodnough stood out defensively for the Jaguars (1-2).

Breaking up the wing with the ball, Pat Leber fed Panayioti Kostakis about 25 yards from the Dracut net and the senior quad-captain did the rest, scoring with less than two minutes to play as Andover tied the Middies, 2-2. Sean Furlong was unstoppable on defense for the Golden Warriors and forward Elliott Cooper brought good energy to the offense.

Peter Ventola extended his regular-season goal-scoring streak to four games with a hat trick as Salem blitzed Winnacunnet 4-0. The senior striker now has five goals for the 3-0 Blue Devils.

Salem boys soccer coach Tony Karibian converted Joey Morgan from defense to midfield this season. Good choice. Morgan scored his first ever varsity goal in Salem's 2-0 win over Dover. Morgan is in his second year starting on varsity. 

Sophomore Ken Desmarais and senior Kevin Osgood both netted their first varsity goals ever to lift Londonderry past Manchester Memorial 4-1. Kyle Willis and Connor Pauley also scored for the Lancers (2-0). 

In its season opener, Pinkerton boys soccer team delayed its celebration, but prevailed in the 96th minute on a goal from Alex Patrikis. Trevor Carignan got his second assist of the game on the play for the Astros.

With just three minutes left in double overtime, James Diron scored on a penalty kick with three minutes left in double overtime to lift Timberlane to a 1-0 season-opening victory over Spaulding.
