EAGLES : 3
NORTHVIEW HIGH SCHOOL: 0

The varsity boy's soccer team hosted Northview at Eagle Stadium on Thursday evening for Senior Night. The Eagles began the night celebrating the seven seniors on the 2022 roster: 

  • Johnny Clarkin
  • Cooper Hutt
  • Aidan Knoester
  • Jonah Knoester
  • Alexander Scofield
  • Ian Velzen-Haner

When the game kicked off, the Eagles came out with strong energy and high work rate, playing tough defense against the visitors and moving the ball well across the field to spring several good attacks. Early in the match, an unfortunate collision at the edge of the Eagles penalty area resulted in a penalty kick for Northview. The Northview penalty taker pushed the shot just wide, keeping the game level. The Eagles created three good scoring opportunities in the last 15 minutes of the half, but were unable to convert, leaving the score 0-0 at intermission. 

The second half brought even more energy as the Eagles generated attack after attack with quick passing combinations. After 60-minutes of play, the Eagles finally broke through as sophomore Miles Bourland drove the ball endline, slotting a pass across the goal where senior Cooper Hutt was able to tuck it away for the 1-0 lead. About 8 minutes later, the Eagles doubled their lead when sophomore Boris Lalic  beat several defenders to tuck away his 2nd goal of the season. The Eagles added to their tally when sohpomore Gedion Nzabonimpa knifed a pass through the Northview defense to a streaking sophomore, John Cassiday, who finished it coolly. 

The 3-0 lead held up to the final whistle, brining the Eagles to 3-2-4 on the season and 1-0-1 in OK White play. The Eagles host East Grand Rapids on Tuesday, September 13 at Eagle Stadium (7:30 pm kickoff).
