Offense propels Tigers to 5-4 victory

Box Score
Wyoming, MI – It was a tale of two halves Thursday afternoon at Velting Field, as the Grace Bible College Tigers and Rochester College Warriors were both scoreless in the first half and went on to put in a combined 9 goals in the final 45 minutes.  Grace would come out on top 5-4, after three lead changes in the second half.

The Tiger offense was propelled by three goals from Tarcisio Silva (SO/Potters House HS) and two from Daniel Sischo (SO/Muskegon HS).  Jorge Leon (SO/Kelloggsville HS), Ryan Wilson (SO/Fruitport HS), Nick Pilieci (SO/Orchard View HS), and Silva each added one assist on the day.  Keeper Drew Smith (SR/Petoskey HS) recorded 9 saves.

"Ryan Wilson was fantastic in the middle today along with Evan Przybysz and Jorge Leon," commented Head Coach Dustin Buchanan.  "They allowed Tito and Daniel to be at their best and those two were very good in the second half today."

The win puts the Tigers at 9-5 on the 2016 season.  They return to the field next Tuesday in Chicago, Illinois, facing Illinois Institute of Technology at 4:00 pm.
