WARRIORS SEE SEASON END AGAINST STREETSBORO

/in /by

BELOIT OH- The Warriors soccer team (9-7-1) fell to Streetsboro (8-9-1) by a 2-0 score at West Branch High School on a brisk and chilly night in an OHSAA Sectional Tournament game on Monday.

The Rockets got on the board in the 31st minute with a goal and took a 1-0 halftime lead.  The Warriors were pressed for most of the game, but held strong.  The back breaking goal came just 13 seconds into the second half when the Rockets were able to get their second goal and effectively put the game away.

Streetsboro peppered Warrior goalie Will Weingart with shots all night but Weingart was up to the task stopping 14 of them and keeping his squad in the game.  Unfortunately, the Warriors didn’t have quite enough offensively and were unable to put mount much of an attack on the Rockets end.

The season comes to an end, but it was a season that saw a lot of growth with only one senior on the squad.  The team finished the year winning seven of its last nine games including a six game winning streak.
