WIN 1-0

Lapeer travelled to Goodrich to take on the Martians of the Metro League. Play was even throughout the first half as both teams had trouble keeping the ball.

Senior Keeper Hassan Fries had to make a big diving save for the Bolts to keep the score 0-0 at half. Then 10 minutes into the second half, senior Cohen Paril earned a free kick just outside the box. Fellow senior Jonathon McLaren took the ensuing kick, serving it into the box. Justin Tebben won the ball and flicked it into the air, and Connor Peck headed the game winner home.

Fries had to make 3 more big saves but Lapeer’s back line of Peck, Gavin Hibbler, Dominik DePew and Jax Turner, helped earn the shutout.

WIN 3-2

Lapeer boys soccer travelled to Brandon to take on the Blackhawks of the Metro League.

Play was even in the first half as teams exchanged chances. Senior goalie Hassan Fries made 3 saves to keep the game 0-0 at halftime. Early in the second half, Brandon earned a free kick and served it into Lapeer’s box. Brandon won it and went up 1-0.

Three minutes later, Cohen Paril would equalize. Paril won a ball from a Brandon defender, attacked space and hit a ball from 20 yards out, into Brandon’s net.

A few minutes later, Lapeer earned a free kick. Gavin Hibbler took it, playing it right inside Brandon’s box. Josh Kenny found the ball midflight and headed it over the Blackhawk keeper.

Lapeer’s third goal started with Tanzan Schwartz who won a ball and played it to Richie Fuller. Fuller beat his defender and sent a cross to forward Jonathon McLaren. McLaren beat 2 defenders and scored left-footed.

Brandon pushed players forward and got a goal late, but Lapeer held on for their second road win.

LOSS 3-0

The Lapeer boys soccer team travelled to take on the reigning SVL champions Grand Blanc. 

GB got on the board early with a beautiful strike from distance. Lapeer responded and earned three corner kicks. Josh Kenny won two head balls, the second was played to Jax Turner who whistled the volley just over the crossbar.

Play continued back and forth.

Just prior to half, GB served a ball into Lapeer's box that Lapeer misplayed and a GB forward tapped into the net to make it 2-0 at half.

The second half was exciting soccer to watch. Both teams exchanged opportunities to score, including sophomore Griffyn Fenner and Gavin Hibbler who both narrowly missed scoring a goal, and Josh Kenny heading a corner kick just over the crossbar.

Lapeer's back line of Dominic DePew, Connor Peck and Jax Turner defended well, keeping GB's shot total to only 4 in the second half.

Late in the game, with Lapeer pushing numbers forward, GB added a 3rd insurance goal.

Lapeer hosts Carmen Ainsworth next Monday on Optimist Field 10.
