JV & Varsity Savor Success Against Sherwood

The Tide Varsity capitalized on some Sherwood defensive errors to jump out to a quick 4-0 lead in the first half of their NWOC league match at Hare Field on Monday. Sherwood was able to avoid the shutout with a goal early in the second to end the scoring for a 4-1 victory for Glencoe. Corbin Pitts tallied two goals with Ben Miramontes and Zach Alten getting a goal each.

Following the break, Sherwood backed the Tide up against their own goal for fifteen minutes and were rewarded with the lead after scoring two unanswered goals. Glencoe manged to regain their composure to move much of the play back into the midfield. Nearing the 65th minute Juan Carlos Hernandez scored the 2-2 equalizer off a beautiful one-two pass with Daniel Douvris split the Sherwood back line. Minutes later Delgado picked up his second goal as he slipped a far post push-pass past the keeper after receiving a perfectly weighted through-pass from midfield by Hernandez. Glencoe displayed grit and composure to go 2-0-0 in league play with the 3-2 come back from behind win.
