Danville - For the third consecutive game, the boys soccer team was playing on the road. After two tough loses to Milton and Altoona, the Millionaires needed to get off to a good start against Danville and then look to build from it.
Williamsport started the game aggressively and were able to maintain possession in their offensive half for a good chunk of the first ten minutes. Senior captain Evan Brittain crossed a ball to the far post where sophomore Isaac Balza collected it and slid it in for an early lead. After Danville found an equalizer, sophomore Connor Hofstrom calmly trapped a long deflection near the eighteen yard line and drilled his shot past the Ironmen keeper to give Williamsport a 2-1 lead at the break.
“Our message to the boys was to not change a thing about how we were playing. We wanted to remain aggressive and exhibit a solid soccer IQ.” noted head coach Brett Hofstrom.
The Millionaires picked up right where they left off and scored the game’s next two goals. Sophomore captain, Spencer Kaar, slotted a pass through to fellow sophomore Brayden Ungard who buried his shot into the back of the net. Ungard gathered a pass from Brittain and notched another goal before the night was over.
After the game, Coach Hofstrom mentioned, “Our center (Brittain, Kaar, Hofstrom, and Adjei-Frimpong) really played well tonight. That allowed us to move the ball from side to side until we were able to find the gaps. Tarell Brown had a great game for us too; he was a great target up front for us.”
The boys are back at The Williamsport Soccer Complex on Wednesday night for another league clash.
