Boys Varsity Soccer vs. Multiple Opponents


The LHNW Crusaders started off their season with the 1st Invitational SMCC Tournament on Saturday. The Crusaders were placed in a pool with Allen Park Cabrini and Saginaw Nouvel. 

Game 1: vs. Allen Park Cabrini 

Game 1 started off strong for the Crusaders, with Jake Grunewald netting their first goal a mere 1" into the game. 9 Minutes later Tim Irwin added to the score. Jeremy Morrison added another goal off of a corner kick, and Joe Albus buried a PK to bring the score to 4-2, after Allen Park scored 2 off of quick counter attacks. 

Game 2: vs Saginaw Nouvel

?After a slow start the crusaders edged out a victory against a motivated Saginaw Nouvel squad. Jake Grunewald scored for the Crusaders, and Saginaw added an unfortunate own goal to bring the final to 2-1 Crusaders!

 

Championship game: vs SMCC

After a hot, muggy day, the skies finally opened up during the championship game. After SMCC steam rolled opponents Toledo Scott and Bishop Foley by scores of 8-0 and 7-0 respectively, the former D-3 top 10 team was held to 0-0 at halftime, thanks to a disciplined, organized defense, and some clutch saves by LHNW keeper Henry Hill. The second half opened the scoring quickly, with an improbable 3 pk's called (and scored)against the crusaders. Joe Albus buried a chance with around 7 minutes left, but time ran out as the host SMCC defeated LHNW 4-1.

 

The Crusaders are back in action on Tuesday, 8/23 hosting LHSA rival Lutheran Westland.
