The Varsity Eagles traveled to Forest Hills Central for a league showdown on Wednesday night.  The Eagles got off to a dream start when John Cassiday intercepted a pass in front of goal and beat the keeper just minutes into the match.   The hosts from FHC, would respond well, however, and pressure the visitors.   In spite of some nervy moments, the Eagles would maintain their advantage heading into the half.  

The second half started as poorly for the Eagles as the first half started well, as FHC would score an early equalizer.   The Eagles would eventually regain their footing in the match and start to apply more consistent pressure on the hosts.   Despite some quality play in the attacking half, the visitors just couldn't quite find the finishing touch in front of goal.  The Rangers would capitalize on the Eagles' inability to finish a chance when they scored a late goal against the run of play to hand the visitors a disappointing loss.  

The Eagles look to regroup after the holiday weekend when they travel to Forest Hills Eastern on Tuesday for a 6:45pm match.
