Hatchet soccer ties at invite

WASHINGTON — The Washington boy’s soccer team played host to the Indiana Kickoff Classic Saturday, but were unable to pick up their second victory of the season.

The Hatchets (1-0-2) played to two ties during Saturday’s matches at the Sports Complex against Bloomington South and Evansville North.

After exploding for 14 goals in their season opening victory against Princeton last Tuesday, the Hatchets were held to just three goals in the two games Saturday. In the opening game of the Classic, Washington played to a two-all tie with Evansville North with both Hatchet goals coming from sophomore Francisco Rodriguez, which were separated by only seven minutes of game time in the second half.

In their second game of the afternoon, the Hatchets found themselves one goal down after Bloomington South scored first, in the 56th minute.

Six minutes later, senior defender Cullen Arnold scored his first goal of the season to knot the score at one, which wound up being the final score.

Hatchets head coach Quintin Myers said his team underachieved in both games and were plagued by slow starts each time.

“We played two solid opponents where we started out slow in both games,” Myers said. “We managed to tie the first game, while we took the lead with five minutes to go in the last game and gave up a goal with two minutes left. We didn’t play well at all.”

After the two ties on Saturday, the Hatchets host Vincennes Lincoln today at the Sports Complex. Myers said his team much make improvements before this evening’s game.

“We only put together a good twenty minutes out of the 160 we played, we must improve and continue to work hard as we have a big game,” Myers said as his team prepares for Lincoln.
