East Central, IN @ CCH on Aug 27, thoughts/predictions?

CCH had their way with East Central last year but this is normally a physical, hard fought game that is close on the scoreboard. I still think CCH is routinely the better and more technical team. If they have everyone on the field and they play with some intensity I'll go 2-1 CCH.

Becoming harder to predict CCH games given different starting lineups and players at different positions each game causing very inconsistent performances. EC has a very good CM player but not sure enough in other places.

CCH 2 - EC 0

CovCath won 4-2.

Both teams played well, an entertaining game. EC has some nice players, #10 cm is very, very good heard he's headed to Xavier next yr. Their keeper is very quick and athletic, made a lot of great plays tonight. LOSB had a real nice game and a few others.

 

CCH still going deep and lots of minutes. Both halves saw 7 non starters on the field at the same time for good peroids of time.

Starting line up a new look and it worked well, cch went up 2-0 early. Good effort and result after a less then acceptable performance on Thursday @ WH.

I think that is Mason Volker, he has actually committed to UC.

I really only caught the first 15 minutes or so of this game and was surprised to hear the final score. CCH was completely dominating the early going and it looked to be a pending blowout. Cam Berling finished a cross from Lamb to open scoring and then Lamb sent another across the box later that an East Central player knocked in for an own goal. Not sure who had the others for CCH and was surprised that East Central scored twice. I did hear that CCH suffered a couple injuries but no details.

CCH did dominate the first 20 minutes and if not for EC's keeper they would have had a couple more early goals. CCH emptied their bench midway through both halves and the two injuries caused some shifting of positions, both issues had an impact on the final score.

Looked like the one injury was minor and may not cause any missed time. The other player had a more serious injury but heard he was doing better, hopefully his recovery is short and he will be back soon. Both are important players moving forward.

 

Congratulations to Mr Volker on signing with UC, they are getting a very good player.

Who did the rest of the scoring for CCH?

Lamb put in a perfectly placed ball just past the outstretched hand of the diving EC keeper. Wulfeck knocked it a goal late from close range after EC had trouble clearing the ball out of their penalty box.

 

EC had one soft goal and Volker hit a nice free kick from 19 yards, hit with pace and good placement late in the game.
