Hubbard 0, Howland 4

 

Hubbard, Oh—Hubbard battled Howland tough and the game was much closer than the score indicates.  Just two minutes of the game Hubbard’s Tim Kemner had one of the best scoring chances for either team in the first half.  Tim took a ball from over top the last defender and was setting up his shot when Howland’s left defender closed him down and disrupted his shot.

 

The score stayed 0-0 until just minutes before halftime when Howland scored off a twenty yard shot to take a 1-0 lead.  Howland was getting the better of the possession game but Hubbard’s defense held Howland from any real good scoring opportunities.

 

The first 21:00 of the second half was a mirror of the rest half.  Hubbard and Howland both were trying and falling to create any good scoring chances.  Hubbard had a bad break that went against them that resulted in that all important 2-0 led for Howland. 

 

Hubbard down 0-2 with 13:45 in the game was stopped on a penalty kick by the Howland keeper and the score remained 2-0 Howland.  Howland struck twice more in the final 12:00 of the game to clam the 4-0 win.
