halftime. Parker McAfee led off the scoring, and soon after Justin Scott also
found the net, leaving the score at 2-0 at the break. Noah Thaxton and Cooper
Thompson were credited with assists.
The Bobcats attempted a comeback when returning to the field, scoring one
goal, but the Husky defense prevented further scoring. The final score was 2-1.
Player of the game was Justin Scott. Brady McAfee added five saves to his
total.
The Huskies took the home field again Thursday against Carrollton.
Harrison scored a goal in each half, with Triston Cole and Parker McAfee
accounting for the goals. Justin Scott added an assist. The Warriors tallied a
goal in the second half but were unable to complete a comeback, falling to the
Huskies 2-1. Brady McAfee recorded six saves, and Parker McAfee was named
player of the match.
The win brings the Huskies’ record to 4-4.
