Brunswick broke open an early 1-1 game with 14 straight goals, rolling past New Canaan H.S. on Cosby Field, 19-5. The Bruins, ranked third nationally, improve to 6-0 with the Friday night non-league win. Over the first six games of the season, Brunswick has outscored its opponents 90-23.

In the first quarter, following an opening goal by Brunswick’s Xander Dickson, the Rams tied the contest at 1-1 with 9:52 left in the frame.

Just over three minutes later, the Bruins started their 14-goal onslaught with a goal by Jack Ocken. Brunswick finished off the first quarter with six more goals, while tacking on another six goals in the second quarter to take a commanding 14-1 lead at intermission.

Dickson chipped in four assists in the first quarter, as a total of six Bruins netted goals. Christian Ronda and Jack Montinaro each scored twice in the frame.

During the 6-0 run in the second quarter, Montinaro scored two more goals, while Ocken, Michael Gottlieb, Dickson, and Ronda each netted their second goal of the game.

Brunswick face-off specialist Jordan Ginder won 15-16 face-offs in the half, finishing with a team-best nine groundballs.

Following a third quarter tally by Brunswick’s Cooper Moore, New Canaan ended the Brunswick run and its own 29:44 scoreless drought with a goal at the 3:08 mark of the third quarter. The Rams’ second tally of the game set the score at 15-2 in favor of the hosts.
