WEST NOBLE 4, WAWASEE 2
Wawasee looked to be coasting to a quality road win before West Noble took command.
The Warriors used goals from Chris Pena in the fourth minute and Kenyan Cotton in the 37th minute to take a stunning 2-0 lead on the Chargers. But a West Noble goal just before half sliced the lead in half.
West Noble dominated the second half, posting goals in the 47th, 59th and 67th minutes to regain control of the match.
West Noble outshot Wawasee 14-7 and had 11 of its shots head on goal. Dillon Drake and Evan Dippon combined for eight saves for the Warriors.
Wawasee lost the JV game 2-1.
