The Reserves made their longest road trip of the season Tuesday and returned from Northwood with a 4-1 victory over Coe-Brown. The team was playing their third match in four days and Coach Alloway was not sure how they would respond, especially after playing such a tough game with KUA just 24 hours earlier.
As Alloway suspected might happen, the team came out a little flat but withstood an early push from their hosts thanks to the stellar hands of Goalkeeper Kyle Castillo and the defensive prowess of Tyung Dam, Keegan Dufty, Sawyer Connolly, Matt Caulo and Mason Vogt.
In the 35th minute, Max Woods delivered a through ball to Andrew Flickinger who deposited it into the back of the net for the only goal of the first half.
Coe-Brown came out strong in the opening of the second half and once again the defense for the Reserves rose to the occasion, denying any and all attempts on goal. The Reserves were awarded a PK in the 49th minute, which Sam Hicks drilled into the back of the net for his 11th goal of the season. Six minutes later Tariku Foster played a nice little square pass to Fickinger at the the top of the box and the Tri-Captain balsted it into the left side of the net giving the reserves a 3-0 lead.
Coe-Brown continued their pursuit for a goal and broke through in the 70th minute for their only goal of the day, but a short time later Flickinger feed Peter Shoemaker for a breakaway goal.
