Final Score: Beavers 2, Bruins nil

The Bruins took a season-high 10 shots on goal but none found the back of the net. It was their third shutout loss of the season.

CHS freshman goalie Miguel Juarez had a career-high 10 saves, but allowed goals in the 31st and 70th minutes to the Beavers, who attempted 16 shots on goal.

Woodland scored its first goal off a cross from the left wing. The ball went into a crowd at the top of the penalty arc and a Beaver manÿaged to get plenty of leg on it to knock it past Juarez, who was partially screened from the play.

"We just failed to clear it,"

Bruins Coach Peter Knowles said of the ball that resulted in the 20-yard goal.

The Beavers second score, late in the second half, came from 35 yards out, outside the penalty box. Woodland's shooter lofted a soft shot just out of Juarez's reach.

"That was just a beautiful goal," Knowles noted. "It was from a spot that normally I wouldn't consider dangerous. He hit it just right."

Knowles attributed both goals to defensive letdowns brought on by fatigue and failure to communicate.

"Both goals came late in the half, when we were tired and probably not talking or marking our men as closely as we should've been," he explained, adding, "But it's hard to be upset because the effort we gave was just tremendous."

Knowles praised the play of sophomore Josh Stembridge and freshman Erik Lind, both returning from injuries; and junior Avery Hoyt and senior Nick Johnson.
