The lead held for the Wolves who scored two more goals in the second half in the 59th and 68th minute. The Tigers finally got on the board in the 73rd minute when Matt Lehman scored off of a Tevin Beaver long throw in. The final tally stood at 4 to 1. It just seemed that the Tiger could not generate enough legitimate chances on the Wolves to stay in the match.

Man of the Match - Matt Lehman (the only goal and his second of the season against GR)


In the final game for the Tigers at Regionals on Saturday they played against the Kelly Walsh Trojans for 3rd place. The first half was hard fought and saw very few chance from either squad. The second half saw many more chance and the Trojans used theirs to a maximum. The Trojans scored three goals while the Tigers could not muster a goal. The Trojans scored in the 49th minute, the 51st minute and right before the final whistle in the 80th minute. Much like the previous match the shots were almost the same as were the goalie saves it was just a matter of the other squad finishing their opportunities. The loss has the Tigers seeded 4th out of the west for the State Cup and they will play the #1 seeded team out of the east the first match of state. The Tiger's record falls to 10 wins and seven losses. Man of the Match - Alex "Goon" Arambel (Freshman getting his first varsity start and playing well at defense) Up Next the Tigers travel to state in Sheridan on Thursday May 21st - Saturday May 23rd.
