Cumberland Soccer Team Drops First Two Contest: Host Hayward on Thursday

The Cumberland Boy’s Soccer Team dropped their first two contest of the season last week, losing to St. Croix Central 5-1 and Amery 4-1. The team was back in action on Tuesday, with a contest against Spooner and then resumes action this Thursday night with a 5:00 contest in Endeavor Stadium against the Hayward Hurricanes.

“It was the first game of the season and we are still working out some kinks,” said Coach Brent Sellent about the St. Croix Central loss. He added, “Goalkeeper John Richter had some great saves throughout the contest, while our lone score came on a corner kick from Ryan Sonora to Alvin Cunningham, who headed the ball into the net.”

Amery was the Beavers opponent two nights later and showed good team speed in their victory. Ian Sellent scored the Beavers goal from 36 yards out to tie the score at 1-1, but a small Cumberland bench ran out of steam in the second half as the Warriors pulled out the three-goal victory.
