Nighthawk Men Stumble In District Semifinal

Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Soccer

The Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ (Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ) Nighthawk men’s soccer team (12-2-3) ended its season Friday in the NJCAA Central District semifinal, falling to the St. Louis Community College Archers, 3-1.

Battling windy weather, both the Nighthawks and Archers struggled establish their respective offenses early. St. Louis Community College broke the stalemate at the 14-minute mark, taking a 1-0 lead that would hold for the remainder of the first half.

Early into the second half, sophomore left back Patrick Chan (Sydney, Australia) scored the equalizer, knotting the match at 1-1. St. Louis Community College struck again at the 74-minute mark, taking the lead for good. Held in check by the Archers’ defense, Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ managed just one more shot on goal down the stretch, but was unable to even the score. With three minutes remaining, the Archers iced the match with a goal on a penalty kick to end Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµâ€™s historic season.

Sophomore goalkeeper Evan Stafford (Cape Coral, Florida) amassed two saves in the loss for Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ.
