WEST PLAINS, Mo. — Resting their “big guns” the Joplin Eagles still had no trouble topping the West Plains Zizzers in an Ozark Conference showdown.
The Eagles scored four goals in the first half.
Daniel McDonald scored the first goal in the 10th minute on an assist from Eli Welch.
McDonald picked up three assists to go along with a score. Welch, along with an assist, scored goals in the 17th and 44th minute. Parker Maher scored Joplin’s second goal in the 13th minute and added a save as well.
Giovanni Lara, Lucas Kemper and Jordan Adame each added goals for the Eagles.
“We were resting our big guns,” Eagles coach Ed Miller said. “We just had a big tournament this weekend so we were getting them some time off. I really thought we just played hard and got a lot of opportunities to put the ball in the net.”
Aurora 4, Thomas Jefferson 0
AURORA, Mo. — The Thomas Jefferson Cavaliers dropped a 4-0 decision to the Aurora Houn’ Dawgs and lost two players to injuries.
Goal keeper Zachary Powell picked up 15 saves in the game before exiting in the second half with an apparent leg injury. Also lost in the second was Grant Oserowski.
Thomas Jefferson coach Tom Scheidemantel says he isn’t sure how much time the two will miss.
“We have some other bumps and bruises too,” he said. “To watch the game, really, it wasn’t a 4-0 game. Aurora came out and played well. I was just ready to hurry and get out of there before any more damage was done.”
