Tough loss last night for the Varsity Boys Laxers against Tier 3 opponent Holland Christian 5 to 3. The fellas played incredibly tough defense which saw the game scoreless after the first quarter of play. The Maroon's home-field advantage saw them chipping in a couple of goals in the 2nd, and 3rd and one more in the 4th quarter. The Eagles finally got their feet under them in the 4th banging home 3 goals, but it was too little too late. The near misses and direct shots to the Maroon tender's chest were the story as the Eagle offensive engine sputtered, and never caught.

On the bright side, the return of goalie John VanAntwerp was a ray of sunshine on a cool evening as he made numerous saves, key ground ball pickups, and excellent passes out of the zone. FOGO Ben Toly continued his winning ways by winning 75% of his draws, and again the defensive crew was all over the zone making the Hollanders work for every shot on net. Goals on the night were 1 each for Luke Afman, Spencer Slagboom, and Brady Nitz, with assists going to Henry Mast and Long Stick Middie, Caleb Morrison.
