Bronco soccer shut out at CHS
|
The game was played on both sides of the field, but the Broncos had trouble on offense in the first period. Boyd had one shot at goal in the half, when Jared Parker fired at the net, but he failed to find the goal.
The Champions were more aggressive on offense during the half as two shots found the back of the net before the half ended to give Cascade a 2-0 lead at the break.
Early in the second half the Champions continued to be the aggressor on offense, firing four shots, but Boyd goalkeeper Dustin Curtis turned all of the attempts away.
Midway through the second half Cascade scored its third goal of the game. The Broncos continued to fight as sweeper Brooks Palmer played strong on defense, keeping the ball cleared down field.
Boyd had several chances to score late in the game, with shots from Matthew Hancock but the attempts came up short as the game ended with Cascade picking up the home victory.
Curtis came up with 17 saves on the day as Boyd took 10 shots at goal.
?We started out sluggish,? said coach Gina Cleek. ?We had a hard time making runs at the goal in the first half. Offensively we just couldn?t get things going. Overall, we played well, but we have to get our offense more shots.?
Boyd was schedule to take on Forrest Tuesday on the road, and is scheduled to play host to Middle Tennessee Christian School on Monday, April 17.
