The Tigers Fell to Weymouth, 3-2 in overtime Friday night to end the season.
The Oliver Ames boys' soccer team felt a trip to the South Sectional finals slip through it's fingers Friday night. After a Christopher Goncalves goal in the 34th minute of the second half put the Tigers ahead 2-1, it seemed as if OA was in the drivers seat. The ride only lasted about one minute, though. Weymouth captain Josh Berg, wide open in front of the net, knocked it in to tie the game at 2-2 and send the game into overtime. In the extra minutes, Weymouth's Akere Tambi was assisted by captain Mike Lynch to give Weymouth a 3-2 win and a trip to the South Sectional Finals. For OA, the last minute Weymouth heroics stung. "We were the better team tonight," Oliver Ames coach John Barata said. "At the end of the day, Weymouth is a very …

As Oliver Ames' David Stapleton lined up a penalty kick to potentially win the game during Sunday night's South Sectional first-round match-up with Franklin, you could have heard a pin drop in the packed Muscato Stadium.

The Oliver Ames soccer team remained unbeaten Tuesday afternoon at Muscato Stadium after its game against Milford. Unfortunately for the Tigers, OA didn't get a win, and the game ended in a scoreless tie.

While Chris Goncalves, Brandon Boone, Kyle Hayes and John Cerce created many scoring opportunities, they couldn’t beat the Milford keeper.

Oliver Ames boys' soccer improves to 6-1-2 with the league victory.
After an early first half Oliver Ames goal, King Philip battled back to make it a contest, but the visiting Tigers were much too strong and eventually grabbed the Hockomock League victory, 2-1. “This is the Hockomock League at its best,” Oliver Ames Coach John Brata said. “KP is a good team and Coach Kip [Lewis] does an awesome job with the kids and gets them up for games. They may not be as strong as they were last year with those outstanding players, but he still has them playing great soccer.” The visitors didn’t waste too much time and got on the scoreboard first. Following an OA corner kick early in the game, a scrum ensued in front of the Warrior goal and before all was said and done Dave Stapleton pushed the ball past keeper Jim …
