The Strikers were going into the game off of a 9-0 win from the previous Sunday’s game against Titusville. The Green team was able to strike early in the game from a corner kick off the toe of Owen Kerle. The next goal was from a sweet bit of passing from Kade Phillips to Koby Buzard, who passed it to Austin Coull who got it in to make the score 2-0.

Goal number three was off of another corner kick. Kaegan Phillips found Austin Coull who was able to get it to Beau Verdill for the goal. The Strikers continued to put pressure on the defense of Mercer with another corner kick from Beau Verdill to Koby Buzard to Austin Coull to give the green team a lead of 4-0.

Defenders Charlie Franchino and Ryker Bingham didn’t see much action at their end of the field.

After the half, Beau Verdill was able to get the ball to Austin Coull, who had a high floating goal
to make the score 5-0. Isaiah Bish and Nate Megnin were able to get some shots on goal, but were unable to get to the net. Goal number six was from the VerdillCoull match up.

Austin Coull had a throw in to Beau Verdill, who was able to punch it in for a quick score. Beau Verdill
got his hat trick, from an unassisted goal off of a Mercer goalie kick, to make the score 7-0.

Mercer was finally able to get a slow rolling goal in past goalie Don Cunningham for their first score of the game. There was a goalie switch for the final minutes of the game and Mercer was able to get another one in past substitute goalie Austin Coull for a final score of 7-2.
