They will also play on Memorial day weekend:
Sat May 28, 2011 MPS U13/14 Knights @ Memorial Day Tournament (Needham)
Sun May 29, 2011 MPS U13/14 Knights @ Memorial Day Tournament (Needham)

Jared had his first outdoor soccer games since early September in the Seacoast tournament in Epping, NH (photos of Jared, photos of rest of team). The team dropped their first two games 0-2, 0-6, but won this morning 5-0. Dad enjoyed the return to outdoor lighting and low iso shots!

The Knights looked much improved over last summer, but dropped their matches 0-2, 0-2, 1-4 (photos).

MPS Knights lost 1st game 3-1 and then won games 2 and 3 by big margins. Jared scored 3 goals. I posted ~100 photos for the team. Don’t have a Jared-only gallery at this point. You can go straight to gallery by clicking on images below.

Jared was one of two players from his team chosen to represent the MPS organization (Bulldogs, Knights, Crusaders) on a combined team in this weekend’s Boston Elite Soccer Tournament in Lancaster.

The team won all three of its games. Jared scored early two goals in the wins against the New England Futbol Club (5-1) and the MCU Portland Phoenix (7-1) (see photos) and set up a key goal in today’s 3-2 win over a tough Seacoast United team from New Hampshire (see video). You can pick Jared out in the video by watching for his orange heels.

Jared increased his defensive play in a tough 5-1 Loss to the Portland Phoenix in Portland, Maine this evening.

Jared had a call-back tryout for the U13-U14 (7th-8th grade) Newton team for next year. He’s been playing on a level 3 team this past year but will move up to either a level 1 or 2 team based on the tryouts and coaches evaluations. He scored one of the 3 goals scored during the 1.5 hour scrimmage.

I had a lot of fun playing with my new toy.

Jared and Dad journeyed 3hours to the Union College stadium in Schenectady, NY for a game against Black Watch. Jared started on defense for the first quarter and the Knights held the Black Watch to one goal. He moved to forward for 2nd quarter and then came in for the last 15min. After Jared left the defensive side of the field, Black Watch scored 2 more goals in the 1st half and 7 in the 2nd to give the Knights a 0-10 loss.

The Knights next game will be Tuesday, June 29th against the Portland Phoenix in Portland, Maine (schedule).
