Central Methodist Defeats Eagles 3-0

Kansas City, MO – In a game that was evenly matched and saw plenty of opportunities for both teams, Central Methodist put theirs away and came away with a 3-0 victory on Saturday (Oct. 24) night. CMU was led by Thyago Catharino who tallied two goals. The Eagles had a lot of chances to stay in the game but were unable to find the back of net. Avila was led in shots by Ryan Wohlgemuth and Dustin Deisher who tallied three a piece. Troy Atkinson helped the Eagles cause with two shots while five others had one shot a piece. For the match, CMU outshot the Eagles 17-13 with nine being on frame.

The Eagles were unable to find the back of the net for the eighth time this season and it continues to be a frustration for Coach Clements, “We have worked very hard this year and have put ourselves in positions to score but have failed to do so. I feel for the kids as they have worked their tails off and have not seen the reward. We will continue to battle and work hard and hopefully the results will come. I am proud of my players for continuing to bring high energy to practice and games and we will continue working to get better.”

Ray Dlugolecki recorded four saves and played all 90 minutes in goal.

The Eagles (4-10-1, 1-4-1) travel across town to Olathe to play Mid-America Nazarene University on Tuesday (Oct. 27) afternoon. The match is set for a 1PM kickoff on the campus of MNU.
