Hubbard 3, Niles 0

 

Hubbard, OH—Alex Chick broke Chris Styn’s single season assist record with 16 assists as he hooked up with Anthony Greco early in the first half to give Hubbard a 1-0 lead. 

 

The game went back and forth with Niles creating some nice scoring chances and Hubbard also created some nice scoring chances with the best chance coming off the foot of R.J. Lee just five minutes before half.  R.J. took the ball and beat the last defender for a one on one with the Keeper.  The shot went a little high and hit the crossbar.

 

The defense and Galen Hayek were up to the challenge in defending the net as they posted their second shut out of the season. 

 

Just 1:30 into the second half Hubbard struck quickly in getting that very important 2-0 lead.  Gustavo Menezes took the ball at midfield and slide the ball to R.J. Lee.  R.J. went to his left and blasted a beautiful left footed shot near post to beat the Niles Keeper.

 

The game again was going back and forth with Niles missing a few very good scoring opportunities.  Then with 5:30 left in the game Anthony Greco put the game out of reach with his second goal of the night off an assist by R.J. Lee.

 

Congratulation to the entire team!!

 

Hubbard 9-6-2 will travel to Champion on Saturday, Oct. 21 to play for the sectional final.
