Bobcats Offense Comes Alive at Altoona

Freshman KJ Davis and Hunter Jarmon

In our final non-conference match of the season the we faced former AMCC rival Penn St. Altoona. With the help of a strong second half the boys posted a 5-1 victory.

Guy Nabo does what he does best and that is score goals.  He opened up the scoring just 16 minutes into the game after a beautiful feed from KJ Davis.  Davis split the defenders with a pass that allowed Nabo to go 1v1 with the keeper for the easy finish.  Nabo has now scored in seven of nine games.

Altoona didn't quit and kept pushing for the tie. After some questionable defending they were able to tie the game when they got a shot past goalkeeper Hassan Mostafa from just outside the 6-yard box.

Mostafa would come up huge when he saved a penalty kick just five minutes into the 2nd half which kept the game tied at one.  That momentum carried over and the offense began to come to life.

Owen Marx scored his second of the season off a feed from defender Erik Castlerine.  We would tally three more times in the next twelve minutes to put the game away with goals from KJ Davis, Kelvin Tata, and Hunter Jarmon.

We came in with a mindset of wanting to limit the minutes of some of our usual starters as we have a big game on Saturday against Wesley College.  We were able to keep most of them around 45 minutes and got some pretty strong performances from some of the guys that have not played as much recently.

With eight games now remaining in CAC play, our focus is on finishing in the top 4 and getting a home playoff game and possibly a bye for the first round.
