Second game with the Rams ended in a 4-2 win away over The Blue Jays from St. Joseph University from Connecticut. The win was fairly straight forward with my contribution of winning a penalty in the first half and two assist in the second half.
Hence, the first week resulting in a win and a draw and very good personal stats which gave me Rookie of the Week for our league MASCAC and Athlete of the Week at Framingham State. Unfortunately neither we or I could not carry to good momentum into the second week, where we unfortunately lost 2-1 home to The Cougars from Clark University.
Making my debut for the Rams
Yesterday I made my debut for Framingham Rams and into college soccer with a game on the road against UMass Dartmouth Corsairs. And what a game to make an entrance in; 28 free kicks, 8 yellow cards and 1 penalty tells the story of a very intense game, which ended with a draw 5-5.
After being ruled out in the two pregame matches due to an ankle injury I started the game as a striker, scored 2 goals and won a penalty.
Already in the third minute we were behind after a corner kick, then in the next 25 minutes made it to 3-1 in a half that ended 3-3. The story repeated itself in second half with a quick goal to the Corsairs, us coming back, Corsairs up once more before we equalized to the final result 5-5 8 minutes before the final whistle. All in all a fair result.
Joined Aztec Soccer Club for the Spring 2022 season
To keep in shape for the Spring I have now joined Aztec Soccer Club for which I have played four games in total resulting in 3 goal and 2 assist. Until now the biggest experience have been playing with the team at Jefferson cup in Richmond, Virginia where we won all our three games.
The Vikings started the playoffs strong

Just before the halftime whistle the Vikings extended their lead and with additional 2 goals quickly into the second half the victory was secured. With 4 goals and 2 assists in yesterday game Gustav now has 22 goals and 8 assists in his 16 games for the Vikings.

Yesterday Winthrop Vikings 20hosted Northeast Metro Tech Knights from Wakefield. The game resulted in a 2-1 win for the Vikings. After a quite first half The Knight came ahead in the opening minutes of the second. However, halfway through the half the Vikings bounced back with an equalizer after an over the top through ball assist from Gustav Hemmingsen and only a few minutes later the picture almost repeated itself. This time is was Gustav Hemmingsen who received the through pass and scored the winning goal after and one-on-one with the goalie. That score lasted to the end of the game and after a loss and a draw the Vikings are back to winning.
