WIN 1-0

Lapeer hosted West Bloomfield Thursday at Optimist Field 10.

The game was Lapeer’s annual “Bud Rowley Night” to honor former Lapeer soccer coach Dr. Duane “Bud” Rowley. There were multiple Rowley family members in attendance to watch the soccer action!

The game opened with West Bloomfield carrying much of the play.

Lapeer started freshman goalkeeper Caiden Hibbler in net for the first time, and he was up to the task! Standing tall, he made some key saves to keep the game scoreless at halftime.

In the second half, Lapeer was defending well and clearly frustrating the Lakers. Lapeer started creating quality opportunities to score as they moved the ball around. Sophomore Griffin Fenner drew multiple fouls, including two that resulted in yellow cards.

With 15 minutes to go in the game, Lapeer’s leading scorer, Joshua Kenny, hit a ball forward into the Lakers' box. The ball deflected around and somehow found its way into the opponent’s net.

That was all Lapeer needed as the defensive line of Ethan Redmond, Jax Turner, Dom DePew and Cohen Paril helped Hibbler earn his first shutout.

Lapeer hosts Davison on September 24. It is a make-up game from earlier in the year that was suspended due to an injury. It will be a Pink Out for cancer awareness game as well.

In the second half, Lapeer held the majority of play, outshooting Linden 9-2. Late in the game, Justin Tebben was taken down in the box, earning a penalty. Tebben scored, making the final 3-1.
