Coach’s quote: “The first half was even with both teams getting a few minor chances. Spaulding was athletic and asked some questions of our defense. At halftime, our players and coaches were able to work out some adjustments that proved helpful in the second half. We’re starting to click better in some attacking and defending areas, but still have a lot of work to do in getting more consistent.” – Coe-Brown’s Christian Gompert

Oyster River 1, Bow 0

Highlights:  The Falcons ran into a strong Bobcat keeper, as Oyster River handed Bow its first loss of the season.

We created a lot of good chances, but just couldn’t find the back of the net today.” – Bow’s Jay Vogt

Records: Oyster River 4-1; Bow 3-1
