Match Summary
It was cold. It was wet. It was windy. And it was war. Warriors every one. All night long. Both sides.
In the end, it was a night for the goalkeepers, both denying the opponent excellent scoring opportunities.
Patriots junior Riley Mikes stopped the most shots on goal. But it was the Cougars’ keeper, junior Paige Knoth, that saved the game in the closing minutes.
Mikes recorded seven saves; Knoth three. The Patriots remain undefeated and unscored upon through two preseason matches and three regular-season matches, including a district win.
The rosters reflected that Aubrey Rogers is a first-year school and Barron Collier is a defending district champion.
Aubrey Rogers: 10 freshmen, 8 sophomores, 2 juniors, 1 senior
Barron Collier: 1 freshman, 2 sophomores, 8 juniors, 11 seniors
