NorthWood was unable to knock off another ranked team in dreadful weather. The first half saw a mainly defensive NW who was able to hold off all Concord offensive efforts. Moments that stood out were Wysong's dive in the box that deserved a yellow and a nice header from Vitor on the Minutemen's keeper Hambrice. It was evident at the half that the Panthers would need to clear better in the second half because Concord would try to shoot more. In the 44th Kyle had a nice punch that kept the Minutemen off the board but a shot by the #5 only a minute later was followed up by a bad NW clear which gave Concord a second chance that went in (1-0). In the 47th, an Eddie turn and then pass to Noodle created NorthWood's best scoring opportunity of the game but the shot went wide. In the 49th Kyle saved another scoring attempt by Concord and only a minute later sees Wysong (#6) shoot at goal that requires Kyle to make two saves within a minute. A marking mistake leaves a Concord striker wide open who goes 1v1 on goal and scores 2-0. A foul called on Clay results in a PK in the 67th. Wysong takes the pk and shoots it in the left corner, Kyle goes to the correct side but the ball has too much pace, 3-0. Ball loss in the 79th in the middle of the field lets the Minutemen take the ball into the box and shoot without much defense, 4-0.
The Panthers fall to 9-5 (3-3 NLC).
Next up are the Plymouth Rockies on Tuesday night (senior night) where we will finally see Jacob and Tucker back on the field (unfortunately not to play defense for NW). A win will give the team 10 wins and a winning record in NLC!
The JV lost 9-0, plenty of room for improvement to say the least.
