Hargrave, Covenant battle to a tie

Coach William Eberly

The JV Soccer team showed a huge improvement over the last time we played New Covenant.

The first time we played we lost a hard fought 3-0 game. Today both teams played hard and had some great shots on goal but played to a 0-0 tie at half. We got off to a 1-0 lead early in the second half with an outstanding play by Cadet Diop with a jumping volley putting the ball up into the upper 90. It was his first goal on the season and really gave us a lot of momentum going into the rest of the game. We maintained the majority of possession and putting many shots on goal but nothing else hit the back of the net. Late in the 2nd half New Covenant had a great shot on a free kick bending the ball around our wall to put in a goal to tie the game 1-1.

Both teams pushed very hard at the end to put in another goal but neither could do so. The game ended in a very exciting hard fought 1-1 tie.

I was very proud of the way the team played and really glad to see such improvement against a very good team. We look forward to our last 2 games next week. Wednesday home against VES. Friday at home against Fishburne

Thanks to everyone who was able to come out and watch our young men play. They loved having family, teachers and friends out there to watch them today.
