HOLLAND CHRISTIAN HIGH SCHOOL: 2

In the final game of the regular season and a busy 3 game week, the JV Eagles traveled out to Holland for a tough test against Holland Christian High School.

The match began with both teams struggling to maintain too much possession. Holland Christian frequently tested the defense by moving the ball up the wings and sending a low cross in to the late run of a forward. However, the defensive unit of Andrew Overoorde, Carter Goodyke, Joe Pastoor, and Isaac Williams held firm. The Eagles offense found it difficult to get the ball too far into the opponents half even when they were able to possess the ball in the midfield. Despite the offensive difficulties, a nice play up the left side of the field resulted in a throw in. The ball was put into play quickly, and Peter Borst was able to move the ball into Holland Christian's box before setting up Boris Lalic for an easy goal and a 1-0 halftime lead.

The plague of starting second halfs slowly hit again as Holland Christian applied immediate pressure and won a corner within 3 minutes of the restart. They played a driven ball in and put it away to tie it right off the bat. Holland Christian continued the pressure, but the Eagles did a good job of deterring them to win some attacks on the break. The continued pressure eventually proved too much as Holland Christian found the net once again with about 20 minutes to go. The boys fought hard to get the goal back and even had one cleared off the line before time ran out for the 2-0 loss.

The boys begin their conference gameplay with a game at Eagle Stadium on Monday night.
