Toledo - With a raucous crowd on hand at LaValley Stadium on the campus of St. Francis de Sales, it did not take long for the Wildcats to continue their great successes - in the 9th minute sophomore Tyler Biggs buried a 20 yd blast past senior Knight goalkeeper Logan McNamara to give the Wildcats the game-winner and a 1-0 win over a very talented St. Francis de Sales side. The Wildcats and Knights played without their top stars - senior Matt Bules left the match 15 minutes into the match to an injury (undisclosed) and junior midfielder Colin Clarke did not play (undisclosed) - the Knights in the second half picked up the pressure and created some chances. Senior Jake Micham saw a blast go just wide of the net and senior Ben Zepp and Daniel Kenner saw indirect free kicks go straight to junior Wildcats goalkeeper Jacob Genot. Genot, who has been impressive all through the season gave the Knights issues from their throw-in specialist Ben Zepp to get flicks to the near post against a much-taller and athletic Wildcats side. Junior Aerin West with under a minute left in the match pushed the ball behind the Knights back four and lost control of the ball to give Northview the assurance goal - Northview improves to 11-0-1 with matches against Bowling Green and a highly-anticipated match with NLL foe Perrysburg to close out NLL play and finish with a quality Findlay side - the Knights drop to 7-2-1 and still have a chance to win the TRAC title but close out with the toughest final four tilts in the area against a revved up Anthony Wayne side, travel to Westlake next Saturday and finish with the annual rivalry meeting with St. John's Jesuit and state-power Lakewood St. Edward.
