Lakeland is the appropriate name for a soccer pitch today with the rainy conditions although, these are perfect soccer playing conditions. NorthWood starts early on with quick combinations that lead to a nice Andre De Freitas shot in the 7th that requires the Lakers last man to dive to his right to prevent an early NW goal.A minute later, Sebastian Guillen crosses the ball in the 18 where it bounces off of Chandler Bontrager. The ball ends up near Kayden Newcomer. He pulls the ball back around a Lakers defender and decisively places the ball into the goal for the opening goal, 0-1. In minute 10, Sebastian passes a ball from about 30 out to Kayden in the box. Kayden pushes the ball past the Lakeland GK and doubles th NW lead, 0-2. We have to wait until the 17th for NW's next and Andre's first goal of the season. The assist comes from Sebastian (0-3). Andre decides to double his score in the 20th when he shoots inside the box and hits the ropes for a 0-4 Panthers lead. We wait another 17 minutes for the last goal before the half; Jerson Sanchez passes a perfect weighted ball to Sebastian who in typical Sebastian style, slots the ball in the corner for the Half Time score of 0-5. A lackluster Lakeland does not move the ball well, rarely comes in our defensive third and seems to move slow across the field. The Lakers performance does not inspire the Panthers to play their best soccer but the Panthers performance is more than good enough to outhustle, outrun and outshoot the boys from LaGrange. At this rate, the trophy signs on the Lakeland press box will not be filling up any time soon. NorthWood scores two more times in the second act; in the 65", Sebastian gets a hold of a ball that bounces around and scores, unassisted; 0-6. And in the 74th, Jerson once again gets involved when he passes from 25 out to his right to Andre. Andre makes no mistake and slips the ball past the GK and over the line for the final score; 0-7. The Panthers are 2-0 on the young season. Now the real (hard) work begins. In what has been dubbed "Raider week" by some of the players, it is that opponent who does show up next on the game calendar. Our trek to Middlebury to face Northridge is this coming Thursday with a JV game start at 5 pm (their first match) and a 6:45 pm Varsity fixture.
