Mill Hall - The Millionaire boys soccer team even its record last night after gutting out a win on the road as they visited District 6 opponent, Central Mountain.
Williamsport found themselves down a goal early, but battled back to tie the score at one a piece after senior defender Tadd Ungard buried his shot into the back of the net from just inside the eighteen. Once again, however, our boys allowed another Wildcat goal and had a 1-2 deficit heading into the break, even though they had an 8-3 advantage on shots.
The Millionaires decided not to change the game plan and continued to pressure the Central Mountain midfield and defense, allowing scoring opportunities to pile up. While the Wildcats produced one quality scoring chance in the second half, it was the Millionaires who created several more threatening situations in the final third.
While Parker Johnson (a senior, captain) and his defensive crew (consisting of Tadd Ungard, Trevor Estes, Wyatt Judge, and at times, Charlie Plummer) locked down things in the defensive end of the field, midfielders Connor Hofstrom (a sophomore), Spencer Kaar (a sophomore, captain), Dumfer Adjei-Frimpong (a junior), and Evan Brittain (a senior, captain) kept up the attack and repeatedly found Brayden Ungard (a sophomore) and Tarell Brown (a senior) deep in the final third of the pitch.
It was this steady pressure that created an own goal for the home team, allowing Williamsport the equalizer with about ten minutes to play. Feeding off of the energy and momentum, Brayden Ungard was able to beat a defender and slid his shot just inside the far post for the game winner with less than five minutes in the game.
The Millionaires are 3-3 on the season and host the Shikellamy Braves Tuesday at the Williamsport Soccer Complex. Varsity kickoff is slated for 5:00 on Teacher Appreciation Night.
