9/20 Varsity Soccer - Lightning Strikes at Charger Stadium!!

The Chargers hosted the Mountaineers of Zion Christian (9-2) at Charger Stadium Tuesday night but the 6:00 pm start was delayed to 6:47 pm due to some lightning in the sky. 

Once the game got started, the first half saw both teams struggle a bit to get their offensive games going as both teams worked hard on defense to keep each other out of the goals for a 0-0 halftime score.

The second half saw a completely different game as the Chargers came out of the halftime with two lightning quick goals in the first six minutes of the second half.  The Chargers struck first at the 37:19 mark with a header from Spencer Holstege with the assist coming from Jonny Kuiper to put the Chargers up 1-0.  The Chargers struck quickly again at the 34:49 mark when Zach VanBaren put a header past the Zion goalie to put the Chargers up 2-0.  The assist came from Derek Gritters on a corner kick.

The Mountaineers showed why they were a nine win team when they applied some heavy offensive pressure and got on the scoreboard at the 19:18 mark with a strike of their own to make it 2-1.  Both teams continued pressure on the opposing teams' defense with numerous quality shots in the remaining time of the game.  The pressure paid off for the Chargers when they added another goal at the 7:56 mark when Logan Holstege found the back of the net after a beautiful assist from Jaden Bylsma to finish the scoring 3-1.

The Chargers improve their season record to 5-6-1 with the win and also improved their district standing in fighting for one of the top two seeds.  The Chargers next game is Thursday night (9/22) at home versus the South Christian Sailors (8-1-2) at 6:45pm
