Our Junior Varsity Spartans opened the season tonight with a matchup against the newly started Duluth Denfeld "C" team at Lincoln Park Middle School. It was a beautiful night for a soccer, with a great view of the Twin Ports.
Several of the Spartans were playing in their first ever high school soccer game, and it showed with some hesitation and nervous play to start. But Superior seemed to settle in and hold the advantage in possession. Unfortunately, we were not able to score in the first half. We even had a chance with a penalty shot, but it was saved by the Denfeld goalie. We went into halftime tied 0-0.
However, the second half was a different story! Superior came out much stronger and more aggressive. We created more opportunities and continue to press. Eventually sophomore Oliver Farell broke through with a goal that deflected off the goalie and in to give the Spartans the 1-0 lead. Not long after that it was junior Mason Specht who struck a beautiful long shot over the goalie and into the back of the net. Farell finished the scoring with a nice shot on an assist from junior Griffin Dallum. Freshman Demion Campbell secured the shutout with 6 saves in his first ever game as goalie! Shout out to our defense for shutting down the Denfeld attack.
The final score: Spartans 3, Hunters 0. Superior JV starts the season 1-0! Both teams are headed to New Richmond on Friday. JV will play at 5pm and Varsity will be at 7pm.
Let's go Spartans!!!
