For the second time this season, the Eagle's of GRC found themselves up against the Hornets of Greenville.

With the sun setting and warm temperatures, the boys kicked off the game at 6PM. Things got off to a fast start when Will VandenBerg sent a free kick in from the half over the heads of Greenville's high defensive line. Will Bush raced onto the ball and was able to send it home for a quick score. In a very similar manner 3 minutes later, Will VB took another free kick over the heads of Greenville's defense and Will Bush was able to race onto it once more. This time, however, he slotted the ball to the middle of the box for Alberto Aliaga to send home for the second goal. Will Bush was in the mix of it again, finding himself on the left side of the field and competing with his defender to win the ball and send it across the field into the onrushing run of Nate Evenhouse. Nate kept his composure and finished the play for a 3-0 halftime lead.

After a sluggish first half in possession, the Eagles showed more desire for the second. Attempting to connect to teammates and create combinations, they were able to get more chances on goal. Switching the ball from side to side proved to be effective with Nate making a run up the right before sending the ball into Alberto at the top of the box. He found Gerrit Boer on the left who chopped inside to beat his defender before sending the ball into the back of the net on the nifty play. Each team continued to battle throughout the half when right at the end, Nate provided once again with a cross that Bush was able to flick home for  the 5-0 scoreline. Alex Nelson kept the clean sheet in the second half with defenders Jacob Brink, Graham de Jonge, Tyler Wolters, and Mergen Shinetulga pitching in to keep Greenville out.
