| 9-16-04 - Although two
starters were out of the lineup, HC's offense came up with more than enough
firepower to put away the Manchester College Spartans 5-2. The
Foresters struck first when Joel Sanders netted a goal off a pass from Luke
Caldwell two minutes into the game, and 13 minutes later, Seth Caldwell
set up Andrew Hulfish for HC's second goal. The momentum took a turn
when the Spartans found the back of the net with a little over a minute left
before halftime. In the second half, HC again got things rolling when
Joel Sanders assisted Luke Caldwell four minutes into the half to give the
Foresters a 3-1 lead. Manchester answered back five minutes later to
again pull within one. Midway through the half in what could have been
the turning point of the match, HC keeper, Courtney Hamilton, had to leave
the match with an injury. The Spartans sensed an opportunity and went
on the attack, but back-up keeper Jarrod Bennett came in and immediately
solidified the defense. "At the time of Courtney's injury, Manchester
was pressing us well, but Jarrod's calmness and acrobatic save midway through
the half was a momentum killer," said Coach Lawson. Bennett's save
ignited the Foresters and directly led to their fourth goal as Seth Caldwell
put the ball and the game away. Sanders completed the scoring with his
second goal of the game with five minutes left in the game. "Our
guys rose to the occasion once again, and it was their determination that was
the difference in this match." With the win, the Foresters improve
to 4-3 on the season. |
