The Varsity soccer match with Rolla showed the boys playing improved soccer, moving the ball and putting together passes better than they have in the first few games this year. Both teams created chances, with Rolla putting 9 shots on goal and Parkview 4 shots on goal. Seven minutes in, Rolla created a breakaway opportunity for Tyler Sinnot, one v one with Trae Kalbaugh (junior) trying to run him down. Trae perfectly timed his slide tackle in the box and sent the ball away. Tim Griffin (junior) recieved a ball from Jared Moore (sophomore) in the 30th minute, deftly beat a defender at the top of the box, and hit a laser that the goalkeeper made a diving save on. In the 32nd minute a free kick was awarded to Rolla fifteen yards left of the box. The subsequent opportunity created a feeding frenzy in the box, with 3 quick shots from Rolla bouncing off defenders, resulting in a ball falling to the feet of Adam Daily, who finished easily into an open goal. Tyler Sinnot was credited with the assist. The referee awarded a penalty kick in the 50th minute when a Rolla player went down in the box a bit too easily. The resultant penalty bounced off the bottom of the crossbar and out and was cleared from danger. Jonathan Malter (sophomore) came up with a big reflex save in the 76th minute to keep the score 1-0 as Tyler Sinnot broke into the box with a defender in tow and hit a hard shot at goal. Maybe the last good chance of the game for Parkview came in the 78th minute when Matt Medley (junior) received a pass and turned with a full head of steam going in just off the 18 and fired a ball that went just over the top of the crossbar. The game ended in a 1-0 Rolla victory.

The Junior Varsity lost this evening 6-0 to Rolla, giving up three goals in each half.
