Lakeland Christian - NorthWood 1-1

The pitch was partially muddy, the stands partially filled but at least we were able to play the first game at home in quite some time. The 10 or so inches of rain combined with large tractor tracks had left their marks on the game field. The first half of the game in front of just less then 80 spectators, was a performance below par. Lakeland Christian's brazilian striker Janie DeSouza scored the first goal. The score at tea time was 1-0. After the break, NorthWood showed more energy and played a more up tempo game, inspired by co-game MVP Dustin Eby. In the 64th minute of the contest, sub Ben St. Germain was able to score in the middle of a melee in the box. The even score would remain on the board for the rest of the game. NorthWood's record now stand at 2-1-1 with the only loss of the season coming against #16 Northiridge (2-1 loss). The JV traveled to Westview only to get beaten 4-1. Tyler Kronk scored the lone NorthWood goal on a (2nd try) PK. Next up for the varsity is Bremen on thursday August 30th at Bremen.
