Boys Soccer 2013-04-03 vs Glacier Peak

On Wednesday, the Wildcats hosted league-leading Glacier Peak to Wildcat Memorial Stadium.

In the JV game, the Grizzlies demonstrated their skill and experience by defeating the 'Cats 4-0.

The varsity game was an entirely different critter.

GP surprised the Wildcats by scoring a quick goal in the first minute of play, but 6 minutes later Gavin Stewart tied the game on a penalty kick and the half ended in a 1-1 tie.

Early in the second half, after an OH throw-in, Caley Powers took a shot from about 15 yards out that bounced off the crossbar of the goal, but Matt Jensen was in the right position - centered, about 5 yards out - and whacked the ball over the head of the GP keeper to put OH up 2-1.

Glacier Peak tied the game with about 12 minutes left, then, very late in the game, a Wildcat player was called for a hand ball inside the keeper's box, setting up an Glacier Peak penalty kick.  The kick went in and the 'Cats just didn't have enough time to get another goal to force OT and lost 3-2.

The next home game for the boys isn't until Tuesday the 23rd when the host the Everett Seagulls.
