Manchester Knocks Off Grace Soccer

Posted

NORTH MANCHESTER - Over the first 45 minutes, Grace College and Manchester College battled through a see-saw half. Both soccer teams played well and shut down the other. Then, there was a three- minute let down by the Lancers that allowed Manchester to score twice and take the lead. From that point on, Grace could not create any offense and Manchester ran away with the 2-0 victory.

Manchester's Corey Ozark scored with 32:22 to play and Ryan Romey added the second goal three minutes later on an assist from Al Calixte.

Grace (3-6) will host Huntington on Saturday at 1 p.m. Manchester (4-3) will be at Milliken on Saturday.
