BNL Modified Boys vs Stillwater Coach Recap 9/29
BNL Notches 2nd Win of the Season! The BNL Boys Modified Soccer took the lesson they learned on Tuesday and turned it into a win against Stillwater 6-3 on Thursday lifting their record to 2-1-1. The offensive attack came to life early and never let up, with BNL scoring three goals in each half of play. Leading the way for BNL on offense was Markell Popov who netted his 1st hat-trick of the season. Also scoring for BNL was Lukas Zuke (2) and Tyler Webster (1).
Jack Healy and the defensive back formed a wall and all rotations of the back four stifled Stillwater’s offensive pushes. Kayden Hathaway (stepping in for injured player Kody Quick), Zeke Colin, Braydin Yerdon, and Louie Gardell anchored the defensive unit with multiple key clears and stops.
It was a solid performance in all phases of the game. They played tactically and with heart! Great job team!!!
Next up for BNL is an away game against Saratoga Catholic on Monday October 3rd.- Coach Moseley and Coach Crimmel
Go BNL!!
