Big Second Half Lifts Warriors

09/20/2008 - The Sterling College men's soccer team got three goals in the second half to upend the Tigers of Central Christian College 3-0. After 45 minutes of soccer, Sterling and CCC were knotted up at 0-0. Both teams had some chances, but were unable to capitalize. "I thought Central Christian had the run of play in the first half and we were lucky to not be down at the break. We were lethargic and not very creative in the final third,"Coach Underwood said of the Warriors first half.

The second half belonged to the Warriors. Playing with greater energy and creativity paid off. "We were immediately more effective because we played the ball to the width and we were able to get pretty deep into our attacking third," commented Underwood. The Warriors finally broke the dead-lock in the 68th minute when Aaron Baker went over the top of the Tiger's back line leaving Jorge Bueso alone with the goalkeeper and giving Sterling a 1-0 lead. Wes Tom scored on a header 9 minutes later, and finally Ryan Covey slotted a perfect shot under CCC goalkeeper Andrew Stauffer off of a Mladen Bjelica cross.

Sterling College is 5-1 on the season and will play York College (NE) on Tuesday afternoon at home.
