Tigers Down the Devils



On Wednesday in Rock Springs, the Tigers played against the Red Devils of Evanston. This was the Tigers first home match of the season. Once again the Tigers were quick off of the whistle and scored only 4 minutes into the match. The first goals was started by a wonderful throw-in by Austin Lever and finished on a break away by Pat Walker. The early score was the only score of the first half for either team. Early in the second half the Tigers tallied another goal. This goal was headed in by Luke Aust. The ball was sent into play from Austin Lever off of a corner kick, which the Evanston keeper punched off of the crossbar. Luke was ready and headed the rebound in for the goal.

This was Storie's 6th goal of the season and has him currently tied for the 2nd most in the state. There was no assist on Storie's goal.
