Cougars Struggle in LVC Tournament Opener against Walled Lake Western

Wednesday night kicked of the inaugural Lakes Valley Conference men’s soccer tournament. The top 8 teams in the conference were divided into two divisions: the top four ranked teams in the gold division and teams ranked 5-8 in the silver division. The Cougars were ranked 6th and were matched up against Walled Lake Western, the ranked 7. This was the third time this season the two teams faced off… the first meeting Western took home the win, the second they tied. The match kicked off at 5:00pm in Cougar Stadium. Things started out slow for both teams, with much of the play happening in the midfield. Near the midpoint of the first half the Warriors landed their first goal of the game. As the match progressed, the Cougars began to work things out and were able to even up the score with a little over 13 minutes left in the half. Sophomore Leo Ifuku made a perfect pass in front of the goal to Junior Alex Neville (#7 pictured above) who tapped the ball into the back of the net for East. The Warriors were able to strike again before the intermission, giving them a one goal advantage. The second half the Cougars continued to work to find their game but they weren’t able to connect to add more points to the board. The Warriors took home the 2-1 win. The Cougars were disappointed in their loss, but are looking forward to their second LVC tournament match up against Waterford Kettering on Tuesday, October 9 at 7:00pm in Cougar Stadium (JV kicks off at 5:30).

In JV action, the Cougars fought hard to get a come from behind win against the Warriors. In the two previous match ups with the Warriors, the two teams tied. The Cougars were eager to do whatever it took to get the W. Sophomore Ayden Rodriguez scored two for the Cougars with Sophomore Connor Karfis landing one. Final Score: East 3, Western 2

Go Cougars! Be East!
