The JV Eagles played the second game of the week and as many games in two days with an away game against East Grand Rapids High School on Tuesday night.

After so many games in so few days, the boys still started out brightly with good ball movement across the field and using combination play to break the East Grand Rapids lines. It did not take long to get on the board with a goal after just 6 minutes. Attacking midfielder Boris Lalic collected the ball in the defensive half before clearing some space for himself by beating a few defenders. He played a nice ball into the overlapping run of Peter Borst, who was able to cleanly finish the ball into the net for the 1-0 lead. Opportunities continued to present themselves througout the half, but nothing clear enough to extend the scoreline.

The Eagles started the second half with an early hiccup. EGR played the ball into the defensive third, but the boys struggled to clear the bouncing ball. It made its way across the top of the 18 before an East Grand Rapids player produced a nifty volley to lash the ball in to tie it up. After that, the Eagles struggled to move the ball effectively and it continued to bounce back and forth between teams. A couple of opportunities came up, but neither team could quite capitalize to end the game in a stalemate.

The Eagles go back on the pitch on Thursday night for an away matchup against a difficult opponent in Holland Christian at 5:30.
