The Cougars would respond with one to cut the deficit in half, only to see Anthony Zarwea finish one to make it a two-goal game once again.   Kuyper, however, would rally before the break and level the scoreline at three goals apiece by halftime.   The second half produced only one goal, but it would prove to be enough; Zarwea buried a well-struck free kick into the back of the net to give Great Lakes the slightest of margins at 4-3, which they would hold onto for the final half-hour to pull out their first win of the season.   Landon Koch, who logged his first win as a goalkeeper in the game, said it was "the best game we played as a team, we hustled the entire game."   "We went out to get that win at all cost." says Danny Buegar, "We were all determined to play well as a unit. We played hard and got the result!"   Next up for GLCC: An away date with the Warriors of Rochester College (NAIA) on October 2nd at 3 p.m.   Colton Tue, 25 Sep 2012 16:25:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:145 http://www.glcc.edu/Athletics/AthleticsNews/tabid/204/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/144/Crusaders-Fall-To-Calvin-Reserves.aspx#Comments 0 http://www.glcc.edu/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=204&ModuleID=717&ArticleID=144 http://www.glcc.edu/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=144&PortalID=0&TabID=204 http://www.glcc.edu/Athletics/AthleticsNews/tabid/204/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/144/Crusaders-Fall-To-Calvin-Reserves.aspx The Calvin College (MAIA) reserves proved too much for Great Lakes, defeating the Crusaders on Saturday 6-1. After allowing an early goal, the Crusaders answered with a goal from Jacob Embs in the 25th to level the scoreline. However, after both sides missed opportunities from the penalty spot, the tide definitely turned in Calvin's favour, as they scored a pair of goals in five minutes to enter the break up 3-1. The second half saw the Knights extend their lead with three goals over a dominant seconds half to round out a final scoreline of 6-1. Next up for GLCC is the much-anticipated fixture with Kuyper College under the lights at Davenport. "We didn't play to our full potential against Calvin and we know that," says Joey Whittaker, "But we are excited to play at Davenport and excited to get our first win there." "We have what it takes to contend in the regionals as a team," says freshman Danny Beugar, "I am pretty sure about getting our first win on Monday. We have that desire to go out and get that win and we will!"

GLCC came up short by a score of 2-0 in their rivalry clash with the Grace Tigers on Tuesday evening.   The match itself was very evenly matched, with both sides given plenty of opportunites to draw the first blood in the first half. However, largely due to the play of goalkeeper Doug Haggadone, the teams remained as they had started by the half.   It wasn't until the 66th minute when a Grace cross was deflected into the net by a Crusader defender that the scoreline was breached. Eleven minutes later Grace would be awarded a penalty that they converted, bringing the fulltime scoreline to 2-0.   "It was a close game," said GLCC head coach Justin Braman afterward, "It was pretty evenly matched, but it came down to we had our chances and didn't finish, and they had their chances and finished."   The team, however, seem unfased by the setback. "We are a cohesive and skilled team," says senior Joey Whittaker, "and I see a lot of potential in what we could accomplish this season. We just have to continue to make the little improvments and continue to work hard, and the wins will start rolling in."

Unfortunately for GLCC, Maranatha would add one more before full time, resulting in a 3-1 final.   Despite the loss, the Crusaders seem optimistic about what they see as a step in the right direction after a pair of sub-par performances to open the season.     “We played a lot better and moved the ball around well,” says freshman Matt Burk, “we had more chances at goal than the previous games, and the defence all around stepped up.”    According to team captain Doug Haggadone, the team just need to “worry about the next game and continue to get better.” That next fixture will come against rival Grace Bible College on the 11th of September at Henderson Field with a 5:00 p.m. kickoff Colton Sun, 02 Sep 2012 12:57:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:138
