Glendale Falcons – 1 (PKs)
Waynesville Tigers – 0
The Tigers came to town tonight with an experienced squad looking for recognition in the region. Absorbing the initial attack the Falcon’s threw at them, including a hard shot from 30 yards by Austin Hart that required a reaction save by keeper Sam Dowling, it was the Tiger’s who slowly established the games tempo in the 1st half. Working both wings, with a commitment to winning the 50/50 balls across the pitch, it was the Tiger’s who applied the majority of the early pressure.

The Falcon’s absorbed it and almost scored twice in the final minutes of the half except for Dowling’s work on the endline. The teams continued this back and forth in the 2nd half, the best opportunity midway through when GK Jordan Pitt’s made a diving save (video coming). Neither team was able to score in regulation however and Glendale headed to OT for the 2nd night in a row. Junior sweeper Gehrig Haberstock got the Tigers to the 2nd OT when he cleared a ball off the line behind his keeper (video coming) but otherwise the game was destined for PK’s it seemed. Pitt stopped the first Tiger shooter when he guessed correctly, and Waynesville’s 3rd shooter put his shot over the crossbar. That meant when senior Brandon Baum stepped up to the spot as the 5th shooter, his ball to the corner gave the Falcon’s a 4-2 advantage and the win.

The Falcon’s continue the week with games Friday and Saturday against Cape Central and Jackson, from SE Missouri. Waynesville visits Nixa on Friday.
