The JV boys soccer team got a rare opportunity to play under the lights at Eagle Stadium in a match against Forest Hills Northern on Friday night.

This proved to be quite a tough matchup, with Forest Hills Northern showing high intensity and good skill on the ball. They were able to get a break down the right side of the field and cross the ball to a waiting forward to take the lead less than 5 minutes into the game. The rest of the half saw the Eagles fight to hold onto possession as Forest Hills Northern made us chase the ball for long periods. 

The second half started with much more intensity and aggression as the Eagles found their footing a little and were able to create some chances. Peter Borst had an excellent shot that appeared to be looping into the top corner only for the keeper to get a finger to it. The defense held stout for the half with Chase Harmelink making some excellent saves and Joey Pastoor showing excellent defensive discipline. However, it just was not the Eagles night and the team could not quite capitalize on the chances created to fall to a 1-0 defeat.

After a weekend break, the Eagles find themselves matched up at Home against Unity on Monday, at East Grand Rapids on Tuesday, and finally Holland Christian on Thursday next week.
