The away game marathon continued for the Eagles on Tuesday night in another conference matchup against Forest Hills Northern.

The trend of starting slowly continued for the Grand Rapids Christian boys in this game as well. Forest Hills Northern played a pressing style of soccer that did not allow much time on the ball for anyone. As a result, the Eagles struggled to connect passes and build the attack. Neither team created many chances to score and often found themselves clearing the ball long to relieve pressure. The best chance of the half came through some nifty passing from midfielders Max Rodwell and Alberto Gimeno to send the ball wide for Arie Nol to get a nice cross in, but the half ended 0-0.

The second half started much better as the Eagles fought to win 50/50 balls and get some opportunities through the channels. 13 minutes into the half, Max won the ball in the midfield and found a nice pass over the heads of Forest Hills' defense. Will Bush used his athleticism to out run his mark and slot the ball home. The defense held resolutely with Tyler Wolters putting in an hard shift tracking defenders and cleaning up the ball. With 7 minutes to go Forest Hills Northern found themselves in the box and Tyler moved to clean up the play. The result was judged by the ref to be a penalty that Northern was able to send home. This left a bit of frantic play in the last 5 minutes as the Eagles pushed for a goal, however, the game finished with a 1-1 tie.

The Eagles continue their road trip against Northview on Thursday!
