The Gloucester boys soccer team picked up a much needed win in their quest for a state tournament berth with a 2-0 victory over Saugus yesterday.
Jeff Amero and Frank Freedman scored the Fishermen goals in the 45th and 55th minutes respectively. Chase Kelly and Lucas DaSilva combined on a shutout for the Fishermen (2-5-5)
"This was a big win for us," Gloucester head coach James Cook said. "We have our eye on that .500 mark and we definitely think it's possible. We have been in a lot of competitive games this year, even the ones we lost."
