Williamsport Soccer Complex - On Monday afternoon the Millionaires allowed zero shots on goal and cruised to a 6-0 victory in their season opener against the Mifflinburg Wildcats.
The midfielders and the defensive line thwarted any attack Mifflinburg tried to muster in either half. Admittedly, the Millionaires struggled to find the back of the net until late in the first half when sophomore Connor Hofstrom served a corner kick that senior Tadd Ungard drilled into the back of the net just inside the near post.
After the half, the Millionaires picked up the intensity and became more creative with their offensive runs in the final third of the pitch creating numerous scoring opportunities. Just two minutes into the second half, sophomore Brayden Ungard dribbled by two defenders and beat the keeper to double the Millionaire lead. Senior captain, Parker Johnson, then got an assist when he found Brayden Ungard just outside the box and Brayden drilled his second goal of the night into the net. Tadd Ungard, a defender, continued to push forward and got involved in the scoring again when he assisted Parker Johnson for Williamsport's fourth goal. Spencer Kaar, a sophomore captain, tallied an assist from a corner kick as he found senior captain Evan Brittain to make it a five-goal lead. Finally, the younger Ungard delivered a spectacular cross to the far post and teammate Gabriel Hill volleyed it past the keeper for the game's final goal.
Williamsport travels to Hazleton on Thursday afternoon before returning home for a Saturday game against State College.
