Sometimes, the final score do not tell the whole story. Even thought we were down 4 players and a quarter of the team was injured, we played very well and stayed close most of the game.
Altamont scored their first goal after 27 mins of intense defense. We played very well, putting into practice the things we had focused on the last two practices. Joey LaSarge (SO) had great saves, and the defense line of Ike Daiber (SR), Jackson Schultz (SR), Issac Fallert (JU), Eli Hiatt (JU), and Riley Miller (JU) played very well. We finished the second half down by one goal and another player.
In the second half, we continue to play well, creating chances. Due to the many hurting and injured players, many bench players stepped up and played well. Myra Christie (JU) played most of the game, pressing the ball and making the best of every opportunity She had. Altamont scored their second goal with 20 mins left in the second half.
We continue to play hard and well. Noah Jensen (SR) kept pressing the defense, Graham Miller (FR) and Michael Wright (SR) kept combining to create attacking opportunities, and Ronan Bailey (SR) and Alex Koester (SO) provide support on the midfield. We had a chance with a penalty with 15 minutes left in the game, but unfortunately, the shot was stopped well by the keeper.
In the last 13 minutes, we were tire, hurting, and giving our all. Altamont scored a third goal, sealing the game, so we put our JV players to give them experience and protect our starters from further injuries. Altamont scored 2 more times.
I’m very proud of the improvement the team is doing, and I’m loooking forward to show what we can do when we have everyone healthy and 100%.
