East Providence falls to North Kingstown in soccer quarterfinal
The East Providence soccer team fell to North Kingstown 2-0 in the Division 1 quarterfinals at North Kingstown on Thursday night.
The Townies ended their season with a 12-4-1 record. Head Coach Tim Calouro, who has coached the team to the playoffs in three of his four seasons, was hoping for a better outcome. But the loss of key offensive players, Amori Lopes, Nathan Sousa and Emerson Amado was difficult to overcome.
"Unfortunately, we didn’t get the result we wanted," he said. "We had a lot of injuries down the stretch. Then Colby Jerzyk and Davi Silva went down during the quarterfinals and we didn’t have enough to get the victory. Congrats to NK."
Still, the Townies played well defensively in front of junior goalkeeper Kayke DeCampos, who made 11 saves during the loss.
The Townies will graduate four starting players this spring. Co-captains Babucarr Njai, Nigel Fernandes and Emerson Amado and Joel Fortes.
