Green Hope 3 @ Cary 0
Green Hope traveled to Cary for another local derby against their
rival. The Falcons had not beaten the Imps in 5 tries.
Green Hope was "up" for this game and they jumped all over the Imps.
Early on, Martin Murphy put in a goal off a corner by Taylor Estrada
and the Falcons were up 1-0. The Falcons were able to possess the ball
for most of the first half, but were unable to penetrate the bunkered-in
Cary defense.
In the second half, the Falcons were more patient and were able to
draw out the Imps and open up passing lanes. Nick Butterly played a
spectacular ball through to John Hindman who calmly buried it in the
back of the net for a 2-0 lead. Several other shots and chances were
just wide or saved by the Cary keeper.
Ryan McDonnell came on in the second half and added a spark down the
left side. He was able to get behind the Cary defense and Taylor
Estrada found him for a nice pass that Ryan put home for the 3-0 lead.
Green Hope was able to maintain the shut out as they continue to
improve defensively and understand the shape of play required to win
in the Tri-8 conference. Next, the Falcons take on Fuquay Varina at
home on Monday night.
