Thursday Night Rematch of last years 9th Region Semi Finals...Can the Cru pull off the Win or will Birds be too much?

Thinking Birds by a couple goals ...

 

Riegler and Cru back line are capable of keeping it low scoring but Birds have advantage with depth and quality across the field. I'd expect the Cru to spend a lot of time defending and under a lot of pressure. Maybe Cru can catch them forward and get them on the counter.

I know St Henry lost a lot of seniors last year that played, what do they have coming back besides their goalie?

Will the predicted rain be a factor in this game? Is it being played at Highlands or St Henry?

The game is at Highlands

 

The Cru has 11 seniors this year with 8-9 players that saw substantial time last year.

There are a number of new faces that could make an impact this year as well including some girls off the JV team as well as two transfers from Notre Dame.

 

I believe that Defender Erin Cheek, Keeper Cori Riegler, and Striker Mackenzie Kent all received some sort of district/regional honors last year.
