Junior striker Cam DeAngelo took on the starring role on Senior Day at Old Saybrook High School.
DeAngelo scored both Old Saybrook goals in a 2-0 out-of-conference victory over East Lyme, sending the Rams to their 12th win in 13 matches this season.
Sophomore Brayden Cody on the first score, and junior Jack Forrestt on the latter, assisted DeAngelo. Senior goalkeeper Ryan Slisz recorded the shutout.
Slisz, midfielder/striker Nick Rothman, center back Nick Scalzo and defender/first-year Rams player Alex Calle-Peralta were recognized before the match.
With the support of his team and coaching staff, Slisz stepped forward to fill a need in goal this season. Scalzo was First Team All-Shoreline last season, while Rothman was Second Team All-Shoreline. And Calle-Peralta won championships with his school in Ecuador before coming to the United States.
Old Saybrook improved to 12-0-1 and atop the Shoreline Conference standings ahead of rival Morgan (10-2-1). The Rams also have the winningest record in Class S – they have won the last two state championships — ahead of Holy Cross of Waterbury (10-0-2).
The Rams have three regular-season games remaining starting with Tuesday’s home match against Cromwell (3:45pm).
