Cards Off to a Great Start

The Cardinals soccer squad took the field for their first match Tuesday night vs College Heights Christian School. Despite some off the field hardships that affected numbers, the varsity squad rose to the challenge (with the help of a few JV players). The first half saw 3 goals scored. The first, a 40 yard bloop by PJ Armstrong, dropped in just over the keeper's head. He was assisted on that goal by Alex Christian. Eduardo "Lalo" Rojas accounted for the next two goals by playing tough inside the box and finishing the job. 
The second half was opened with a beautiful header by Ryan Busick off a corner kick by PJ Armstrong. Later, Kyle Handley put in an unassisted goal to finish off with a 5-0 victory for the Cards. Our defense held strong and put up a clean sheet. Our young players stepped up and played their positions effectively. 
Great Job guys! Next challenge - Willard. Keep the desire gentlemen!
