MSHS Varsity Boys Soccer (8-3)

The MSHS Varsity Boys Soccer Team traveled downstate for the second time this season on Saturday (9/16/23) to compete in the Suttons Bay Invitational.

Game 1:  Marquette 1, Gaylord 0

  • First Half Scoring:  Charlie Hrodey from Dixon Poggi 
  • Second Half Scoring:  No goals scored.
  • In Net:  Keeper Edan Hautamaki faced one shot in the first half.
  • From MSHS Head Coach Dan Salmon:  “The Gaylord game turned out to be a defensive game. We controlled a lot of the play in the first half but Gaylord started gaining control in the second half even though they did not get a shot on net. Our midfielders did well in this game.”

  • Second Half Scoring:  Charlie Hrodey from Seamus Waite
