Pearl River Sports: Boys Soccer Stifles Opposition

Pearl River boys soccer Head Coach Damon O'Keefe and his players knew the Pirates would rely on a strong defense this season. 

That defense kept the Pirates perfect with another shutout in a 1-0 double-overtime victory at home against North Rockland Saturday. It was even one of Pearl River's top defenders, Chris Coughlan, who scored the only goal in the contest. With the team's depth in the back, Coughlan has been able to jump in more to help the offense this season. 

Pearl River plays at Spring Valley 4 p.m. Monday.
