For the second time in a week, the Eagles faced off against the Red Arrows of Lowell.

Knowing that Lowell would come out seeking retribution for last week's game, the boys of GRC knew that they would have to stay focused in order to see out a result. The Eagle's showed good discipline in possession, attempting to keep the ball in our possession and create chances. Often the ball would be moved to the wings with Gerrit Boer easily able to get past his defender and either serve up a cross or get a shot off. Nate Evenhouse showed his pace on the right side, frequently leaving his defender behind to get the ball in the box. Good link up play found Will Bush with the ball at his feet where he was able to turn and split Lowell's defenders for Nate to race onto the ball and finish low into the corner, putting the Eagle's 1-0 up at halftime.

The battle continued into the second half as Lowell showed their scrappiness to try and disrupt and patterns of play. However, with Andrew Brink and Gerrit on the wings, it was too much for the Red Arrows. The ball progressed up the field on the right side before a switch of fields once again found Will Bush at the top of the box. He played the ball into Gerrit's feet who neatly beat his defender before cutting in and ripping a shot into the net. The Eagles continued to threaten the goal with Ty Erickson bouncing shots off of the crossbar and the defense holding stout by winning headers through Tyler Wolters and Graham de Jonge for Josh Dykema to keep yet another clean sheet and a 2-0 win!

The Eagles continue the season on Wednesday at Eagle Stadium!
