QU Hawks vs. Lewis University
It was a heart-breaking loss on Friday night as the Hawks lost 1-0 against Lewis University. After a slow start, the Hawks took control of the game and looked to take the lead with a penalty kick being awarded to them late in the 2nd half. The PK hit the crossbar and Lewis University raced the ball down the field and put it in the Hawk's net just minutes later. The Hawks continued to knock on the door, but couldn't score.
QU Hawks vs. Wisconsin Parkside
What looked to be Quincy University's worst performance of the year turned out to be an incredible comeback as the Hawks beat Wisconsin Parkside 3-2 Sunday afternoon. Nothing was clicking for the Hawks during the entire first half, and the Hawks were down 1-0. At half-time Coach Jack Mackenzie told the players, "You're either going to look in the mirror tonight and say to yourself 'I blew it. I gave the game to Parkside' or you're going to look into that mirror and say 'I did it! I turned defeat into victory!' You've got 45 minutes to decide which way it's going to be."
Bouncing back from missing the penalty kick Friday night, Jayme Groark took the field in the second half with fire in his eyes, scored two beautiful goals, and assisted on Justin Bower's bullet to the far post to win the game. The entire team picked up their level of play and again showed what this team is made of.
The Hawks are now 7-2-1 (4-2 in the GLVC) and take to the road this weekend to face a very strong Bellarmine team on Friday night and nationally-ranked Northern Kentucky University on Sunday.
