Lions maul Broncos 6-1
The Bronco soccer team dropped its home match against St. Andrews Tuesday, losing 6-1.
The Mountain Lions controlled the first period scoring quickly in the first half. The Broncos tried to take charge on offense but St. Andrews defense stood tall and kept the ball on offense. With 20 minutes left in the first half the Mountain Lions built a 4-0 lead.
Boyd had several quick runs at goal but the St. Andrews goal was well defended. Casey Hertwig scored Boyd’s only goal of the day when he worked his way in front of a St. Andrews defender and took the shot from 15 yards out.
Boyd tried in desperation to pull with in two by the half but a solid defensive performance by the Mountain Lion goalie held the score at 4-1 at the break.
In the second half Boyd came charging out of the gate with a solid offensive attack but missed on several opportunities with just under 20 minutes to play.
St. Andrews found he back of the net two more times on a couple of lucky breaks to pick up the five goal advantage.
Boyd had 12 shots on the day with Bronco goalie Dustin Curtis picking up 20 saves.
