The Strikers second win was home against an always tough Kinzua team. The teams met at the CUP Stadium on Sunday, September 18th. The U14 team always looks good on the larger fields and that held true in this game.

The opening goal was on a pass from Korrin Burns to Eva Lerch to make the score 1-0. The second goal was off a pass from Nate Megnin to Eva Lerch for a score of 2-0.

Kinzua was able to get one in past the goalie to make the score 2-1.

Beau Verdill was able to get the ball in perfect position off a corner kick for Bailee Verdill to score right before the half for a 3-1 Striker lead. The last goal of the game was off another corner kick from Beau Verdill with Korrin Burns in position to score.

Final score: Strikers 4 – Kinzua 1.

The U14 team travels to Greenville on Sunday, September 25th.

Thank you to Coach Thomas Hummel for preparing the team so well and for securing the Clarion University Memorial Stadium for the home games!
