Princeton (0 -4-2) pulled even on a goal by sopho- more Liscon Regis – off an assist by Muckerheide – to tie the score at 1-1 with 22:59 remaining. The Chargers would re- gain the lead on a goal by Holder – off an assist by Kyson Western – with 19:21 left. Kyson Western quick- ly followed up Holder's goal with one of his own – off an assist by sophomore Ethan Scott – to give Pike Central a 3-1 lead with 18:42 remain- ing. Less than a minute lat- er, however, Muckerheide scored to pull within one goal – at 3-2 – with 17:47 left. Muckerheide's goal came as the result of a goal kick by Matthews that bounced its way down the field to just outside the goalie box, where Muckerheide – with Chargers senior goalie Ty- ler Tormohlen came out of the goal to get the ball – too advantage of the open net. "We just didn't handle the ball," Chad Western said. "It was just one of those plays where they beat us to it and got a goal." Muckerheide quickly fol- lowed up that goal with an- other, scoring with 17:08 left to tie the score at 3-3. Pike Central had several scoring opportunities the rest of the match – including one on a point-blank shot by Scott that Matthews blocked – but were unable to break the deadlock. "A lot of them, you're go- ing to finish against other goalies," Chad Western said. "He's really good." Pike Central 3, Boonville 2 A fter surrendering two goals late in the first half to fall behind 2-1, the Char- gers scored twice in the sec- ond half – on goals by Kyson Western and Scott – to ral- ly for a 3-2 victory on Thurs- day, Aug. 31. "This was a great win, as Boonville has played real- ly well this season," Chad Western said. "These are the type of match-ups that make us better and push us to play great as a team." "So many guys played well, but I have to mention Tyler Meadors, Gavin Boyd, Christian Benson and Tyler Tormohlen," Chad Western said. "We asked them to do even more than we do some games." Boonville fell to 4-3 with the loss. Pike Central, which host- ed South Knox on Tuesday, Sept. 5, will travel to North Posey on Thursday, Sept. 7, before returning home to host No. 9 Heritage Hills on Thursday, Sept. 14.
