Bobcats Come From Behind on Road Again

Frostburg collected another come from behind road win at Waynesburg on Saturday evening.

Junior, Michael Norman
The host Yellow Jackets would catch Frostburg early in the game as a Waynesburg player would run onto a long punt that was not cleared by the FSU defense and beat the FSU keeper to the ball for an easy score.  The Bobcats would start to get back in the game and control the play, but it would take some time to unlock the Waynesburg defense. FSU was rewarded a penalty kick when a Pablo Torrano shot was handled by a Waynesburg defender in the box. Shawn Baker would step up and tie the score at one a piece. Eight Minutes later Ryan Russell would get his third game winning goal of the season as he collected a Jared Fohs throw-in and buried his fifth goal in his last three games. Michael Norman would finish off the half with and insurance goal in the 44th minute. The Bobcats would finish the half with a 13-2 advantage in shots.

The Bobcats would see the game out in the second half by keeping possession and limiting the Yellow Jackets to just four more shots. We were able to get a lot of guys in the game and reward some guys with some playing time for the hard work they have been putting in during practice. Reserve backs, Phil Nana and Brandon Zurita stepped up in the backline when two defenders were lost to injury and Andrew Adami and Raphael Adjeoda logged significant minutes up top and gave Russell and Torrano a much deserved rest.

We have one more non-conference game this week against Hood College before we get back into CAC play on Saturday with a road trip to Wesley College.
