NorthWood-Glenn 3-0 (0-0)

The first half is not a good one when it comes to scoring. An Andrew Meyers goal late in the half gets taken away by way of an offside call and a few minutes before the half, Dom's PK gets stopped by a keeper who has a set of two by fours for hands. We do not capitalize on any opportunity in the first 40 minutes despite passing nicely, spreading the play across the field and doing a very good job overall in the defensive and middle third of the field. We are just plainly lacking the killer instinct when it comes to the final third or offensive third of the field. The half time "conversation" clearly is about doing better in or near the John Glenn 18 yard box. And at least, the second half starts out much better than half number one. Eight minutes in, Dom feeds Carlos who places the ball past the Glenn keeper, 1-0. Another three minutes later, Grant crosses from the right side to Carlos, who again finds the back of the net. Joel returns to the field late in the second half but makes his presence count by scoring NorthWood's third goal of the night. The final score is 3-0. This is NorthWood's 8th win of the season and its 7th shutout. The JV loses 1-2 to Mishawaka Marian very late in the second half. The Varsity is 8-4-2 on the season. Both teams return to action again tonight when we travel to Plymouth. JV starts at 5 pm, Varsity kicks off at 6:45. Bus leaves at 3:45.
