Keeping playoff hopes alive, the Foresters took an early lead 2-0
within the first six minutes of play to dominate Saint Francis
and secure the 4-0 win on senior day.
HU's first score came in the third minute of play when George Halim
slipped one past the goalie made possible by some clever passing
through the midfield by Taylor Zeman and Brad Kunze. Just minutes
later the Foresters went up 2-0 on an own goal by Saint Francis.
The first half scoring ended at the 38:13 mark when Kurt Sanders
passed it up the flank to Derek Ressler who headed the ball to Isaac
Beal. Beal was able to bring it down and drill it past the
goalie to make it 3-0 at halftime.
Both teams were scoreless through much of the second half until
James Holliday, off a pass from Steven Roberts, sailed one to the
far post at the 76:38 mark for the Forester's final goal of the day.
HU finished with nine shots to Saint Francis' 12. Forester
Keeper Kevin Keske finished with six saves.
"The boys earned this one today. From the first whistle they
played attacking, composed soccer and our defense was locked in,"
commented Coach Lawson. "I am proud of the way this team bounced back and proved that they are
a team that still has plenty of
quality soccer left in them."
The Foresters will travel to Marian on Tuesday. A win against
Marian would likely secure HU a spot in the MCC tourney slated to
begin next weekend. With this win, the Foresters are 9-7, 1-6
in conference play.
