LEWISTOWN – Four goals from four different players led the Mifflin County Huskies to their 4-1 win over the Waynesboro Indians in Mid-Penn Boys soccer action Thursday evening.

“I’m very pleased, especially with how we made adjustments,” Huskies coach Keith Yoder said. “The kids made stronger finishes and the positioning adjustments to set up those goals.”

For the majority of the first half, neither team were able to take control of the ball with each having a fair share of opportunities to score, but none were successful.

That was until with just over five minutes remaining when Mifflin County finally punched one in as Dylan Liggett found an open Mason Allen who proceeded to score the goal giving the Huskies a 1-0. Which ended up being the lone goal of the half.

However, going into the second half, the Huskies smashed through the floodgates offensively and began putting on the pressure as with 34:42 remaining, Jace Bagrosky launched a cross pass right over to RJ Miller who gave Mifflin County their second goal of the night.

The offense just kept on the attack as five minutes later, a cluster ensued inside the Waynesboro box where the ball eventually found its way to the foot of Kayden Hook who tapped in the ball in for the third goal of the game.

But give Waynesboro credit, the Indians were not going down without a fight as they finally got on the board as Conlan Kuhar moved the ball over to Palmer Davis to cut the lead down to 3-1.

That didn’t stop the Huskies’ momentum though as literally ten seconds after the Waynesboro goal, Bagrosky got his second assist of the game when he launched the ball down the field and it was Bruce Baker who hustled his way to get the ball and sent a rocket into the back of the net to make it 4-1 and the fourth different scorer for the Huskies in the game.

That wasn’t the only thing that made coach Yoder happy as not only did Mifflin County had four different goal scorers, the Huskies were also very efficient as well as accurate. Mifflin County had 15 shot attempts, 12 of those shots were on goal making a shot percent of 80.

“I love that!” Yoder said. “When different people score, it shows how many options that we have.”

Mifflin County keeper Jack Suydam had three saves in the game while the Huskies’ defense held the Indians to just eight shot attempts with four of those on goal.

Mifflin County moves up to (5-3) and will look to keep the winning ways going as the Huskies will travel to face Gettysburg on Monday.

Until Next Time!
