Hawks Go 1 & 1 in GLVC Action

Hawks Beat Drury, lose to Rockhurst

On Friday, September 14 the Hawks got off to a flying start at Rockhurst scoring in the 14th minute on a great header by Justin Bower at the far post on a really nice cross from Corey Eatherton. However, Rockhurst stormed back with goals in the 33rd and 35th minutes to take the game 2-1. Rockhurst had the better of the play as they were much more accustomed to their fast-paced artificial playing surface. This was the first of four artificial surface games our Hawks will play out of the next six. On Sunday, September 16th the Hawks once again got a quick start with Jayme Groark hitting a 35 yard bomb in after just 1 minute of play in the game with Drury University. Fourteen minutes later Justin Bower banged in another long range shot off an assist by Branko Isailovic. The Hawks scored again at the 73rd minute mark on another nice head ball goal by Jayme Groark off the double assist from Brad Niemann to Steve Miller to Jayme to the back of the net. Drury got a late goal to round out the scoring with the Hawks winning 3-1, bringing their record to 6-1-1.

HAWKS TO FACE LEWIS AND PARKSIDE ON HOMECOMING WEEKEND: Friday, September 21 the Hawks square off with Lewis University at 7:30 PM, and on Sunday, September 23 face the University of Wisconsin-Parkside at 2:30 PM. Both Lewis and Parkside are 6 & 2, and both have proved to be very difficult opponents for us over the last several years. The Hawks will definitely have to "muscle up" to battle these two.
