Green Hope 6 @ Enloe 1
Green Hope traveled to Enloe High School Thursday night for a
non-conference fixture.
Following a disappointing loss the Middle Creek, the Falcons made
some changes in the line-up, moving Thomas Lindsey to defense, and
Nick Butterly into the midfield, while Kyle Bandy and Justin Taylor
earned starting spots. Alex Long gave Eric Santilli the night off
in goal.
Early, the Falcons looked a little sloppy, but found a way to score
as Nick Butterly sent in a nice through ball that Taylor Estrada
buried in the net. Soon after, however, following a poor clearance,
Enloe won a corner kick. The ball was served into the 6-yard box
and Enloe won an unchallenged header that found the back of the
net. 1-1. Green Hope found the net again before halftime as Martin
Murphy put one home for the 2-1 lead.
In the second half, the Falcons played much better with better
passing, movement off the ball and more organized defense. Soon
they scored again with Taylor Estrada outpacing the defense and
putting one home for his second of the night. Kyle Bandy followed
that up with a laser from 20 yards. Martin Murphy was the beneficiary
of assists from Ryan McDonnell and Ryan Dowd as he tallied his first
hat trick in a Green Hope uniform to cap the game at 6-1, Green
Hope.
Green Hope now has a record of 4-3 on the season. The Falcons take
on their new neighbors, Panther Creek, on Friday, September 15 at
home at 6 PM. A rare opportunity for the soccer team to play on
a Friday night!
