Middletown High School’s boys’ soccer team picked up a 2-1 victory over Davies Career & Technical High School on Monday night, which doubled as a celebration for the team’s seniors and saw the Islanders clinch a close win on their home turf.

Avery Soderberg, number 9, kicked things off for Middletown, netting the game’s first goal. Jarrett Rodrigues, wearing number 5, sealed the deal with another goal, pushing the Islanders ahead for good.

Davies Tech managed to get on the scoreboard with one goal, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Middletown’s lead.
