BYRON CENTER HIGH SCHOOL: 2
The Varsity Eagles had a quick turnaround with a Monday match at Byron Center after two games in Portage on Saturday. The Eagles were under pressure during the first half but goalkeeper Annelise Kuiper kept them in the game with an outstanding performance in goal. The Bulldogs would finally break the deadlock with a goal late in the first half. The second half would test the resilience of the Eagles as they battled not only a strong opponent, but also mounting injuries. In spite of playing the majority of the half with no substitutes, the Eagles defended well, moved the ball efficiently in midfield and were a threat on the counter. Byron Center gained some comfort with an unlucky deflected own goal to make it 2-0 midway through the second half, but the Eagles did not stop working and displayed tremendous GRIT and character to finish the match. Annelise Kuiper finished with 14 saves on the night. The Eagles travel to Forest Hills Northern on Wednesday at 6:45pm.
