Hoosier Cup

The boys played very well at Hoosier Cup. In the first game, we jumped to a 1-0 lead thanks to a goal by Graham Allgood. Anders Rotto recorded the assist. Bedford North Lawrence tied the game off of a rebound to make it 1-1 at halftime. In the second half, we limited BNL to two shots on goal but unfortunately the second goal went in. We pushed numbers forward but were unable to get the tying score which caused us to lose 2-1.

We rebounded very well against Providence. Anders Rotto hit the crossbar ten minutes into the game and we had other quality opportunites. Evan Link played very well in goal making some big saves to keep us in the game. After eighty mintues, neither of us could find the back of the net. This resulted in a 0-0 tie.

In the last game, Richmond scored an early goal to go up 1-0. We almost responded with a goal five minutes later when Sam Hall played an amazing through ball to Graham Allgood. Graham had a tough break away opportunity but was unable to find the back of the net. Richmond would lead 2-0 at the half. Unfortunately Richmond put a third goal in ten minutes in the second half which killed a chance at a comeback. I used this time to get players minutes, get a look at the future, and gave Seniors Connor Richards and Daniel Shake some time at forward. Richmond would score two more goals during this time making the final score 5-0.

This brings the teams record to 1-5-1.
