In the first home game for the Eagles in nearly 3 weeks, the boys looked to bounce back after Tuesday's game against East Grand Rapids.

The Eagles put a big effort in controlling the game by connecting passes to teammates and executing the fundamentals to the best of their ability. It took a little bit to get the rhythm of the game down, but the Eagles were able to provide options for each other through quick play with the ball moving between players at speed. The breakthrough came after 13 minutes when Will VandenBerg sent a free kick into the Hornets box and Caden Hoving was able to control the ball with his first touch before sending the ball into the net. 3 minutes later Will Bush got on the score sheet with a fine corner from freshman Gerrit Boer. Sophomore Nate Evenhouse added to the tally after a good split pass from Will Greunnert after working the ball through the midfield. Greenville got one back with some confusion from the back line providing them an opportunity. However, Will Greunnert and Max Rodwell had a nifty give and go at the top of the box for Will to finish and add back on to the lead for a 4-1 halftime score.

The second half picked up right away with the Eagles continuing to connect their passes to teammates and move the ball quickly. The boys won a corner, with Gerrit serving it up and this time Alberto Aliaga connected with a header to put the ball into the net. Just a couple minutes later, Will Bush battled for the ball in the Hornets box and got the ball baseline before getting his head up for a nice slotted ball to Sasha Neykov to dispatch into the corner. The roles then reversed with Sasha playing Will for another tally shortly after. In the 22nd minute, Tyler was able to get on the end of a nice pass from Max Rodwell to get his goal. Josh Dykema nearly scored a 35 yard belter that ricocheted off the post when he was given some space from the Hornets defense. And finally, Becket Nieuwenhuis provided a nice assist to Andrew Brink to smash home to wrap up the scoring.

Eli Wise, Graham de Jong, and Mergen Shinetulga worked hard to protect keeper Alex Nelson for a second half clean sheet.

The Eagles wrap up the week with a 10am home game to Jenison on Saturday!
