With a little bit of a chill and some rain in the air, the Eagles traveled east out to Lowell for the last conference game of the season.

Right out of the gate, the Eagles showed they came to play with a dominant display in the midfield from Alberto Aliaga, Sasha Neykov, and Will VandenBerg. They continually outplayed the Red Arrow midfield by moving the ball quickly to the wide areas of the field. Nate Evenhouse continually outpaced his defender to get multiple crosses into the box with just the finishing touch missing. However, the breakthrough came in the 18th minute after winning a corner. Alberto served the ball up to the near post and Will Bush sent a bullet of a header into the net. Just 4 minutes later, the roles reversed, with Will Bush sending Alberto through on goal after splitting the defenders. Alberto finished the play with a nifty outside the boot flick for a 2-0 halftime lead.

The boys kept the pressure on in the second half with Will Greunnert putting pressure on the Lowell back line to steal the ball back. Showing great composure, he beat the keeper by rounding him and slotting the ball home. The scoreline didn't last long with Will Bush and Will VandenBerg connecting on a nice give-and-go at the top of the box for Will VB to send the ball into the side netting. The second half defensive line of Mergen Shinetulga, Alex Nelson, Oscar Tholen, and Owen VanderWerf held stout to keep the ball out of Josh Dykema's net.

The Eagles move into the next matchup on Thursday at Eagle Stadium against Unity Christian!
