Yesterday afternoon, the CCMS boys ventured to St. Pius to play their first exhibition game of the season. In the past, games vs the Pacers have been filled with excitement and plenty of goals. This match would be no different.
During the 1st half, both teams moved the ball nicely and defended well. The Pacers would tally first however, after a flurry of shots on the CCMS net. Our Cardinals responded quickly however, and tied the game up on a Zach B. penalty. Zach scored again moments later on a breakaway and CCMS would take a 2-1 lead to halftime.
The 2nd half proved to be a wild one, with numerous opportunities to score on both ends of the field. Zach ended up potting another goal for the hat trick, but the Pacers would take advantage of a few CCMS defensive blunders and pull out a 4-3 win.
Great effort was exerted by our Cards, especially by Josh and Aidan on defense. Next up for the boys is a game at St. Peter on Monday afternoon.
