DULUTH, Minn. (csssaints.com) – The St. Scholastica men's soccer team rallied from two goals down to defeat Concordia College-Moorhead 3-2 in Friday's season opener at Saints Field thanks to a pair of second half goals by sophomore Armin Bobaric (Andover, Minn./Andover HS).
 
The Action
The Saints controlled possession for much of the first half, but found themselves down two goals in the opening 14 minutes of the game. The Cobbers scored goals in the seventh minute and in the 14th minute on their first two shots on goal.
 
In the 33rd minute, CSS put some offensive pressure on Concordia's defense. Darby Henderson (Duluth, Minn./Duluth East HS) and Kyle Hewitt (Richmond Hill, Ontario/St. Theresa of Lisieux) put together a nice combination of passes, which led to Cobber penalty in the box leading to a penalty kick opportunity. Junior Luke Buckton (Bath, England/Writhlington School) took the PK and buried it to make it 2-1 at halftime.
 
St. Scholastica kept on the pressure in the second half. In the 65th minute, Buckton sent in a cross and it got past a couple of CSS strikers, but Bobaric came in to the back post and finished to tie the contest at 2-2. Then with less than eight minutes remaining in regulation, Noah Hooey (Hermantown, Minn./Hermantown HS) played a ball into the box and it was Bobaric again on the receiving end and found the net to give the Saints the 3-2 lead. Sandy Davidson-Hunt (Kenora, Ontario/St. Thomas Aquinas) made a save in the final five minutes to give the Saints the 3-2 victory.
 
Notable Performances
Davidson-Hunt made five saves for the Saints to earn the victory. Jackson Carr recorded 12 saves for the Cobbers in his first collegiate game. Henderson, along with Bobaric put four shots on goal.
 
Up Next
The Saints (1-0) will face Gustavus Adolphus College on Sunday at Saints Field. Action is slated to begin at 2:30 p.m.
