UNITY CHRISTIAN HIGH SCHOOL: 6
It was not the start we envisioned and it proved to be a bit much against a quality opponent in Unity Christian. Starting flat against any team is difficult to overcome and when you add in the multi time state chaos it makes it very difficult. We did get off to a slow start and Unity took advantage as they scored 10 minutes into the game. We settled in some but could not quite find our game in the 1st half. Unity took advantage of opportunities and put in 3 more to make it a 4-0 game at half. One of which was a pk on an unfortunate hand ball in the box. We talked about playing with intensity and possessing the ball and came out in the 2nd half and starting pressing ourselves. We played collectively more together, moved the ball, and had some success moving the ball against them. Unity scored 2 more to make it a 6-0 final but we walked away feeling better about the 2nd half and how we played. It was a better group effort all around and goalkeeper Branch McGeehan made some monster saves to keep the Dux on the field. He ended the game with 14 saves on 20 shots faced and many of those were finger tip or push saves. He was outstanding. The Dux hope to rebound next Tuesday against Holland Christian
