CALEDONIA: 1
In a hard-fought, emotional game, the FHE Soccer team pulled out a 2-1 conference tournament semi-final win at Caledonia on Tuesday night.
The Hawks began the game with relentless pressure on the Caledonia defense, but failed to capitalize, and found themselves in a 1-0 deficit in the 18th minute following a Scots corner kick.
However, FHE refused to back down and continued the assault in the attacking third. In the 39th minute, just before halftime, Matt DeVries played a ball through to Jeremy Ireland who provided a fantastic individual effort to beat the Cal goalkeeper and equalize.
The 2nd Half was end-to-end and very evenly played. Each team created several scoring opportunities but were stymied by the opposing defense.
Finally, with just 3:50 left in the game, Matt DeVries again found a hole in the Cal defense. He played a ball into space to Kosti Moni who calmly struck a dipping volley from outside the 18 past goalkeeper Joe Fifer.
With the win, FHE moves to 12-3-2 on the season and advances to the OK Gold Conference Final on Wednesday at South Christian.
In the JV match, Caledonia defeated the Hawks 8-0.
