The CDS boys soccer team traveled to Dwight this week to face their toughest competitor this season. The sun was shining in anticipation of the contest. Quickly after kickoff, Dwight struck first when the back line failed to clear a corner. The boys played very strongly following this mishap, controlling the tempo and possession of the game. Louis Yeo played, what his coaches are describing as, the best game of his high school career. Louis recorded some huge stops on two breakaway occasions.
Moments to go in the first half, Taeho Kim was taken down in the box for a penalty. With poise, Bumjoon Kim, making his season debut at center midfield, buried the ball into the bottom left corner of the net to tie it up 1-1. With this goal, Bumjoon now has the 3rd most points (goals & assists) in Dalton history.
In the second, the midfield tightened up and began winning the 50/50 balls. The all senior backline played another strong game shutting down and frustrating the Dwight attackers. 8th grader Jungmin Kim, making his first varsity start, played a phenomenal game lacing through balls and even scoring the go ahead goal on a laced strike from 20 yards out. Unfortunately, the goal was called back for a questionable off the ball foul.
Sophomore Ryan Park and Senior Jung Hwang both played gallantly in their Dalton debuts.
The game would end in a 1-1 tie. While we dominated the play, we simply could not close out the game. We are looking forward to another shot at Dwight midway through April. Your Dalton Pheonix now sit 1-1-0 with a few weeks to recover and return faster, stronger and more determined when spring break comes to a close.
