| 10.18.06 - Grace
College erased the
Foresters (5-10-2, 1-6-1) last hopes for a berth in the MCC Tournament
by knocking them off 4-2. The loss dropped HU to ninth place in
the conference standings and eliminated them from postseason play.
The Lancers scored two unanswered goals in
the first 12 minutes of play and were never threatened after that.
Four minutes into the second half, they added another to push their
lead to 3-0. Joel Sanders finally got HU on the board 53rd
minute, but Grace regained the three-goal advantage with another score
midway through the half. The Foresters found the back of the net
one last time when Marc William put it in with an assist from Anthony
Burkhart with eight minutes to go, but the 4-2 margin was as close as
they would get.
"We played soft the first 45 minutes
and Grace took advantage of their chances," said Coach Lawson.
"This is a terrible disappointment and one that is going to sting for
awhile." |
