On Tuesday night, the JV team traveled over the bridge for a match with the Duluth East "B" team. Earlier in the season, our JV defeated the East "C" team by a score of 4-2 at "The Swamp." This game would have a different result.
The Greyhounds got on the board first, scoring with 17 minutes left in the first half on a penalty kick that was their first shot on goal. Prior to that, the Spartans dominated possession and chances. Superior kept their heads and battled on. Unfortunately, East snuck another goal in right before halftime to lead 2-0. After gathering for a break, the Spartans came back out with intensity in the second half. Superior was able to earn several corner kicks and shots inside the goal area, but just could not get anything past the East goalie. With 13 minutes left in the game, the Greyhounds struck again to tighten their grip on the lead 3-0. Superior never gave up, but did allow another goal with 4 minutes left. Battling to the end, the final score was 4-0.
Freshman goalie Liam Perrault finished with 4 saves on the night. Freshman Henry Farell had two shots on goal, while sophomores Everett Kliegle and Demion Campbell also produced a shot on goal. There were plenty of opportunities, and even a couple missed shots on open nets. While it was a frustrating game in that regard, Superior had a positive attitude and look forward to finishing the season on a high note at home this Friday night in the season finale against New Richmond. JV will be at 5pm and varsity will kick off at 7pm.
Go Spartans!
