| 09.10.05 - Former
Forester coach Steve DeCou returned to Huntington for the first time
since taking over the Trinity Christian College program and led his
Trolls to a 2-0 shutout over the Foresters.
The first half was evenly played as both
teams generated numerous scoring opportunities. The difference was a
poorly cleared ball by HU in the 30th minute that Trinity Christian
was able to put away to take the 1-0 lead.
In the second half, the Foresters were
sluggish with their pressure and the Trolls took advantage with their
second goal in the 68th minute. The score seemed to light a fire
under HU. They returned to their possession game and came
up with a handful of scoring chances. With 4:30 remaining, the
Foresters had an opportunity to get back in the match with a penalty
kick, but failed to capitalize.
"Our first half was extremely positive, some of the best combinations
we have seen all year," said Coach Lawson. "We continue to show
improvement, but we need to learn to play with composure and
confidence for the entire 90 minutes."
The loss drops the men to 1-4 on the year. |
