Varsity Soccer

Covenant vs Fruitport
9/27 Varsity Soccer. On a cool crisp Tuesday evening the Chargers took on the Trojans of Fruitport (7-6-2) at Charger Stadium under the lights.  The first half saw both teams with limited offensive opportunities as shots were kept at bay and what did go on net the goalies were up to the task in keeping the balls out of the net. 

The second half saw Fruitport control the ball offensively for much of the half and apply more pressure on the Charger defense and goalie Jaydon Gritters. The Charger defense held firm in keeping the Trojans off the scoreboard despite the pressure from the Fruitport offense.   At the 14:42 mark Jaydon Gritters made a spectacular diving save off a Trojan strike to keep the game scoreless.  The Chargers managed a couple of shots late in the game but were unable to break the 0-0 tie.  Jaydon Gritters had a busy night with 13 saves for the Chargers.

The Chargers record moves to 5-7-3 with the tie and back into second place seed in the district moving ahead of Potter's House but still yet behind Calvin Christian for the top seed in District 51 Division 4.  The Chargers are back in action Wednesday night AT Wyoming High School at 6:45 pm.  The next Charger home game at Charger Stadium is Thursday night versus Holland Christian at 6:45 pm.

9/28 Wolves Take Down the Chargers

The Charger soccer team invaded the den of the Wyoming Wolves (6-9-1) Wednesday night and felt the attack of the Wolves in more ways than one, losing 3-0.

The Wolves came out with a very aggressive game plan and applied heavy pressure on the Charger defense right from the get go.  The Wolves got on the scoreboard first with a header off a corner kick at the 22:59 mark to go up 1-0 and continued to pepper the Charger goalie in the first half but goalie Jaydon Gritters made the saves to keep it 1-0 at the half.

The Chargers offense came alive to start the second half with some pressure of their own against the Wolves' defense getting some shots on goal but unable to put the ball past the Wyoming goalie.  The second half also turned it into a foul fest as many fouls and yellow cards were called on the Wolves but the Chargers were unable to take advantage of their opportunities in the second half.  A breakaway at the 11:30 mark of the second half resulted in a number of close chances for the Chargers to get on the scoreboard but the Wyoming defense stiffened and about a minute later the Wolves responded with their second goal of the game at the 10:59 mark to go up 2-0.  Just a minute following that goal, the Wolves struck again at the 9:42 mark to put the game away making it 3-0 for the final score.

The Chargers fall to 5-8-3 on the season and fall into third place in the district seeding behind Calvin Christian and Potter's House.  The Chargers play their third game in a row Thursday night AT Charger Stadium versus the Holland Christian Maroons (9-1-3).  Game time is at 6:45 pm under the lights.
