Bobcats Make it Three in a Row

We are still not playing up to our potential, but we are finding ways to win games and that is a good thing.  Wednesday night the boys found the back of the net three times to blank Bethany 3-0.

We have not played the prettiest style of soccer as we are struggling with doing a lot of the little things correctly, but we are keeping good shape in the back and not allowing to many scoring opportunities.  The offense is doing just enough to get us on the board and claim victory, but as the season progresses we'll need to be better on the ball and with our decision making.

Pablo Torrano got us on track early as he skillfully volleyed home a rebound off a shot by Jared Fohs in the third minute.  We controlled most of the play, but Bethany did create a few opportunities including a questionable off sides call that went in our favor when they were in on goal for a clear breakaway.

We seemed to calm down and gain a little more control in the second half.  Freshman Chris Herbert notched his second goal of the season when he followed up another rebound off a Torrano shot.

Kunle Akinfeleye also tallied his second goal of the season when he out raced a defender and the goalkeeper to slot home the third goal of the game late in the match.

Senior Drew Hock picked up his second win of the season in goal while the defense of Chris Jones, Bernard Fatusin, Jared Fohs, Bryan Lentine, and Phil Nana combined for their third shut out of the season.

We will return to action Saturday at McDaniel College for a 4:30pm Kick-off.
