Soccer Team Ties One and Loses One; Host Spooner This Thursday
The Cumberland Boy’s Soccer Team picked up a tie and a loss in play last week. They were back in action in Hayward on Tuesday, before returning to Endeavor Stadium for a contest against the Spooner Rails this Thursday, October 2, at 5:00 pm.
The tie came against Barron. It was a contest against two evenly matched squads that ended with both teams scoring two goals.
The Beavers had the first score of the contest when Braden Johnson found the back of the net on a pass from Ian Sellent. It stayed that through intermission, but a Barron goal early in the second half tied the contest at 1-1.
Calvin Cunningham’s header into the net on a corner kick by Bryan Sonora gave the Beavers a short lead minutes later, but the Bears tied the score at 2-2 with ten minutes left in the contest and the game would stay that way as the match-up ended.
The team’s loss came last Thursday against the Eau Claire Memorial Varsity Reserves.
The Beavers started slowly, trailing 4-0 at the midway point. The second half was much different as Cumberland would score on a corner kick by Ian Sellent, while keeping the Old Abes off the board. “We played outstanding defense in the second half,” added Coach Brent Sellent.
