West Noble- NorthWood preview Sectional Semi Final

Even though the temps will be around 70 around kick off, winds once again will be fairly strong tonight and on an open field like the one at West Noble, those winds could have an impact on the game. The Panthers are 11-3-3 and came in 3rd in the NLC. The Chargers are 9-6-2 and came in 3rd in the NECC. NorthWood started the Sectionals with a 1-9 win over Lakeland. West Noble was tied at 2-2 in OT with Wawasee before beating them in a PK shootout. The Chargers' most dangerous player without a doubt is Henry Torres (#9) who likes to hang out near the last defender, cut back and forth going at the goal and take shots. He tries to shake off his defender but needs little room to get off a shot. He single handedly defeated the Panthers on our hometurf at Sectionals last year, a loss that still stings today. West Noble does not really have a signature win this year unless you want to call the PK shootout win versus Wawasee and the regular season win against the Warriors just that. Overall their schedule is marginal and besides Carroll, Canterbury and Northridge most teams they played do not have winning records. But all of that said, they are still a dangerous opponent who can score out of nowhere. Eric Galarza (#10) is the other player to watch. He likes to shoot from outside the box and has a hard shot. Both Galarza and Torres scored against Wawasee and both scored their PK. The Panthers would like to return the favor however by beating West Noble on their home field in Sectionals.
