Since the Bearcats came back from spring break, their defense has allowed just one regulation goal and its spark continued on Tuesday night with a 2-0 triumph over the Bobcats at Stewart Field.
Nearly a month after Aberdeen beat W.F. West by the same score, the latter returned the favor. Gage Grisham pocketed a rebound shot off a corner kick for a goal in the 39th minute. In the second half, Alex Mathuzima ripped a 35-plus yard shot to double the margin.
W.F. West (7-4-1, 4-2 EvCo) head coach Allen Anderson credited goalie River Haydon and its backline for withstanding pressure from Aberdeen over the final 40 minutes.
“One of our more complete games as a team,” Anderson stated.
The Bearcats will try and duplicate their revenge on Friday when they host Centralia for The Chronicle Cup. The Tigers won the first meeting by a 4-0 final.
