The Marshfield Blue Jays journeyed to the field of the New Covenant Warriors, Monday evening. The Jays came out a little flat footed the first half, allowing the Warriors to go to half with a 2 point lead.
The second half was a different story. The Jays came out ready to play, and play they did! Ethan Jernigan planted the ball in the box with an assist from James Reese, making the score 1-2. Later in the half, Willis Zirschky crossed the ball to Robert Martin, who then proceeded to send it between the post to even the score. The game went to OT, after 2 ten minute halves, the final score remained 2-2. This gave the Jays their second tie of the season. GK Cory Dotson had 7 saves, shots at goal are as follows: Jesse Day 1, Austin Fairbairn 1, Ethan Jernigan 4, James Reese 1, Robert Martin 1 and Willis Zirschky 4. Keep shooting boys!
The JV squad played 2 ten minute halves, due to the fading light. Kyle Cary, Eddie Lovan, Zeb Howard and Ethan Replogle all got shots at goal but it was Wes O’Neal who booted one in the net, after 2 earlier attempts. O’Neal scored the only point for the Jays in the last 2 minutes of the match. Final 1-2, favoring the Warriors.
