The Grand Rapids Christian Eagles returned to conference action on Monday evening traveling to Northview. The first five minutes of the game saw back and forth action before Kate LaRue won a 50/50 ball off a punt from the Northview goalie. She played the ball forward where Julia Timmer beat her defender and put the ball in the back of the net for the first goal in the seventh minute. Just a minute later, Stella Sheldon controlled the ball in the middle of the field and played a ball behind the Northview back four to Emma Van Goor on the left side. As the Northview keeper came out, Emma Van Goor took a touch outside and found the far post to put the Eagles up 2-0.

In the twentieth minute, the Eagles were called for a hand ball in their defensive third. A Northview defender played a dangerous ball into the box connecting with her teammate’s head to find the back of the goal and tightening the game up to 2-1. Responding quickly, the Eagles scored just a couple minutes after with Ella Wolters dribbling forward from the back line and finding Van Goor again up the left side. Van Goor played a ball in front of the face of the goal where Dani Barton was perfectly positioned to find the back of the net to make the score 3-1. The second half saw a lot of opportunities for the Eagles with the Northview goalie making several saves to keep the score 3-1 which is how the game ended.

The Eagles will host East Grand Rapids in their next match at 7:30pm on Wednesday evening at Eagles Stadium.
