The Eagles made their way over to Forest Hills Northern on Monday night for another rematch of a regular season game.

Knowing that Forest Hills Northern (FHN) was looking for redemption against the Eagles win from earlier in the season, it was essential that the boys were mentally prepared for a battle of a match. However, the plague of sluggish starts continued for the Eagles as we struggled with low energy levels throughout the first half. The pattens of play and ideas were there to see, but the sense of urgency and execution let us down in the offensive portion of the game. The defense remained stout, though, as the back line of Abel denDulk, Will VandenBerg, Graham deJonge and U'Maree Talley held firm as well for 0-0 half time score.

With 35 minutes left to play, it was up to the boys to try and take a hold of the game and make a difference. Max Visser continued to look to split the FHN back line to send the winger playing into the space. The Eagles were able to get some crosses in and some shots off through Micah Rogers and Max. With the game ticking away, a FHN received a red card to give the Eagles an advantage with 10 minutes to play. It was short lived, as FHN found the net shortly after with an unstoppable shot into the far upper corner. The boys looked to respond, but FHN kept a lot of bodies behind the ball to stymie any real chances, ending the game in an 0-1 loss.

The Eagles will meet with East Grand Rapids at their home turf for the final game of the season on Monday 10/10 at 5PM.
