SOCCER LOSES ON OPENING DAY

Faith opened their season with a 4-0 loss at Blanchett Catholic on Friday afternoon. The Falcons played their first game of the season with only 11 players and battled with the Cavs for much of the game. Blanchett broke down the Falcons defense in the 9th minute to score the opening goal of the game. The Falcons put in a solid defensive effort for the next 30 minutes, but fell asleep right before the stroke of halftime, allowing the Cavs to score off of a Falcon goal kick with 38 seconds remaining in the half. The Cavs scored their 3rd goal off a deflected shot that found the top corner, and the 4th came off an inexperienced mistake from the Falcons' backline. Overall, it was a decent run out for the Falcons, who return 6 starters. Only 4 of the returning starters played in the opener and most of them in new positions. The backline of Ethan Schmoll, Caleb Predmore, Drew Bernards, and Kyle Hoekstra did well to hold off the countless attacks from the Cavs.
