Boys Junior Varsity Soccer edge past Byron Center Bulldogs

EAGLES : 3
BYRON CENTER HIGH SCHOOL: 0

Thursday night found the JV Boys soccer team back on the pitch for an away match-up against the Byron Center Bulldogs.

The first half was a disjointed effort, with the Eagles starting slowly. The lack of sharpness made creating chances very difficult with the boys struggling to keep possession of the ball and get it into the attacking third. Despite the challenges, a long ball over the top from mid-fielder Peter Borst was won by Boris Lalic near the half line. Boris took the ball into the opponents penalty box and was able to fire a shot past Byron Center's keeper to put us 1-0 up with just over 15 minutes gone in the half. Even after the goal, the Eagles continued to find it difficult to retain possession and went into half-time with a 1-0 lead.

A second half restart found the Eagles working a little harder to retain possession, but still lacking the continuity to create chances. However, with 17 minutes gone in the half, Boris put in the work to win the ball right on the mid line. After some neat dribbling, he was able to play a slick through ball to the run of Miles Bourland who touched the ball around the keeper and put it away into an empty net for the 2-0 lead. Boris kept up his work rate and once again won the ball right in the mid-field before playing an excellent pass to the run of Peter who calmly finished the ball in the corner for the 3-0 win. 

The defense worked hard all game, with Isaiah King putting in a lockdown performance on his side of the field to help keep the clean sheet.

The JV Eagles are back on the pitch on Saturday morning for a home matchup with Jenison.
