NorthWood-Trinity Greenlawn 4-1 (4-1)

Trinity Greenlawn wastes no time scoring when they cross and blast a ball past Evander before the first minute is up! One attack, one cross, one shot, one goal. It takes a few minutes for the Panthers to get in their rhytm. In the 14th, Casin sends a long ball from the back that reaches Gusy who somehow turns and volleys the ball past the TG GK to draw us even at 1-1. Only 4 minutes later, NW has another chance. Jagers' effort ends near Sammy after a deflection. Mr. Hoover does not disappoint and whips the ball in for his second goal of the season.Trinity has a breakaway counter in the 21st that could have changed the course of the game but a determined save by Evander averts disaster. In the 24th, Ben Bodach delivers a long ball which turns into an assist when Jager slots the ball past the keeper for the 3-1 lead. Scoring is not yet complete in the first half becuase a handball in the Trinity box gives Jager a chance for a brace. Just like Drew Davis a few games ago, Jager puts the PK away, this time in the opposite corner from where Drew scored; 4-1. We expect Trinity to pressure more in the second half but that never materializes. NW makes contact with the crossbar twice in the second half (61" Jager header, 63" Paul with a cross-shot combo). The rest of the half is uneventful and the Panthers leave Wellfield with the second win of the week. With a 5-4-1 record in their back pocket, the team travels to Waky for a great Taco and Quesedilla meal at the Dosal compound. Thanks to the Dosal's for hosting the event. It was very much appreciated!! Next up is the home game at Warsaw tomorrow (Tuesday). The Saturday game was played without the injured Drew Davis. Hopefully we will get some good news on his injury this week.
