The varsity team traveled on Saturday, September 18th, to take on the Broad Ripple Rockets. The eagles had some quality opportunities to take an early lead, but were unable to find the back of the net. Towards the end of the first half, the eagles had a break down which allowed for the Rockets to score. The boys were able to regroup, and sophomore Graham Allgood was able to break through the Rocket's back line and slot a ball past Broad Ripple's goalie to tie the game. The score was 1-1 at halftime.
As the second half began, it was clear that the eagles were not happy with their first half play, and the team came out on a mission. Sophomore Anders Rotto buried a direct kick from 20 yards out to give the eagles the lead. Sophomore Graham Allgood found the back of the net again to make it 3-1 moments later. The eagles kept the pressure on and were rewarded with a penalty kick. Senior captain Connor Richards ripped an upper ninety shot giving the eagles a 4-1 lead.
I was very pleased with the second half effort. The field conditions were very tough, and it was good to see some of the players step up and lead.
The varsity's record is now 3-5-3. The eagles will take on Park Tudor for senior night on Tuesday, September 21st. This will be a big test for the boys, and I am looking forward to watching them step up and work hard to send the seniors off with a win!
