Hiland boys soccer downs Mansfield Christian

Hiland defeated Mansfield Christian 5-3 in boys soccer action on Aug. 29.

Noah Troyer scored three goals to lead the Hawks. Roman Tkachuk scored twice while Christian Mullet and Bodie Gertz had an assist. Goalie Chase Coblentz had four saves.

“For a high school soccer game, this was the largest crowd we have played in front of in a long time,” Hiland coach Scott Bodiker said. “The atmosphere was great, and our guys expected to get MC's best shot early in the game. We really fed off that and flipped the script to get three great early goals.

"After that, the game got really chippy, and we had a few things go against us that were a little frustrating, but at the end of the day, we hung in there and got a quality win over a district champ from a year ago in Mansfield Christian, who is a team that I expect to have a good season. They play a very difficult schedule, but they will be there at tournament time again.”
