The boys soccer team faced off against Griffith last night for senior night in an unforgettable game. Griffith scored first, but Liam Schott equalized by lobbing their goalie from distance. The Senators went into halftime down 2-1, and were down 3-1 with 37 minutes left to play. Later, Jason Bunag danced inside before finding the back of the net, making the score 3-2. With under 10 minutes to go, Lucas Ferguson, Owen Gilbert, and Liam Schott created enough chaos from a corner kick to force an own goal, and the score was somehow tied up at 3-3. Then, to complete the comeback, senior Owen Gilbert chased down a long ball, stole the ball from a defender, and scored to make it 4-3 Senators with just 1 minute left to play. These boys made magic happen on the field last night. Congratulations to the team, especially to our seniors. Thank you to all of those who came out in support last night. 

The Senators play again tonight at Westville with kickoff at 4:30.
