GRAND RAPIDS CATHOLIC CENTRAL: 0
The first game of the 2022 soccer season found the Eagles pitted up against Catholic Central. After a couple weeks of training and preparation, now was the time to see how that work paid off.
The first half was an even challenge, with Grand Rapids Christian showings spurts of life in the final third, but were unable to capitalize. The first half ended in a 0-0 tie.
Going into the second half, the Eagles dominated possession and posed a constant threat to the Catholic Central defense. However, the shots just wouldn't find the back of the net. Some especially neat play by Micah Rogers almost ended in grabbing the lead. With 20 minutes left in the game, a corner was claimed by Abel denDulk to open the scoring for the season and get the lead.
There were some nervy points on defense to end the half as the ball was mostly on the opponents side of the field, but they held firm with Will Bufalini claiming a clean sheet.
Great job to the boys and the season continues on Friday with a game against Lee High School!
