The Marshfield Blue Jays played on their home pitch last night against the #1 ranked Liberators. After getting off to a rocky start, that had the Jays giving up a goal on themselves, in the first three minutes of the game, the Jays settled down to a tough battle. Bolivar scored their own goal in the 26th minute of the game, bringing their total to 2. The Jays weren’t going to give up, as C.J.Obermaier put one in the box from an assist by Eddie Lovan. Bolivar got off a shot while the clock was in stoppage time to bring the score to, 1-3 at the half .
Bolivar, started the second half with a goal just three minutes into the half, but that was the last they would make during the match. Ethan Replogle put one in the Bolivar box as the clock read 27:37. The Jays made several valiant drives, but just couldn’t capitalize on them. The game ended with a 2-4 loss for the Jays. Keeper Cory Dotson had 15 saves.
The JV Jays didn’t have any better luck as they played a field of eleven with only eight men of their own. They held the Bolivar team to just one goal in the first half. During the second half of the game they battled on but Bolivar managed to score in the 22nd minute of the half. Just a few minutes later, the Jays answered back with a goal of their own, off the foot of Cory Day with the assist coming from Josh Hyde. Bolivar scored one more with 5 minutes left in the match making the final 1-3. Keeper Nic Yonter got 13 saves.
We are REALLY PROUD of both teams for never giving up and playing with such brave hearts!!!
