The 18th ranked Eagles faced No.16 Snow College in a highly anticipated Top 20 match up. The boys came out very sharply and dominated the opening 25 minutes. Aiden Mcmullin opened the scoring with a lovely chipped ball from William Mugisha. The build up to the goal was gorgeous one and two touch play.  However, Snow was able bring the game back level before the break.

The second half was a tactical battle between the teams and their formations. The Eagles did break through once again with a free kick from Colby Lee to the bottom left hand of the goal. The keeper was left standing and the Eagles celebrated crazily. With 15 minutes to go, Snow put a lot of pressure on our men, but they handled it and the game finished 2-1. It was a fantastic performance from the men as they dominated every aspect of the game.

The Eagles go again next Thursday, Oct 6 at home against Truckee Meadows Community College at 3:30 p.m.
