Boys Varsity Soccer vs. Skyline HS

Game Date
Sep 12, 2019
Score
: 0
SKYLINE HS: 1

Monroe’s boys soccer team gave a spirited performance against the reigning D1 state champions Ann Arbor Skyline as they lost narrowly  1-0 at Custer Stadium.

Monroe, missing several key players through injury employed a  4-1-4-1 system for the first time this season and defended deep in their own half to soak up the attacks of the talented Ann Arbor line up. The defense was penetrated just once in the first half but rarely looked troubled as Skyline were frustrated by the disciplined and organized Monroe squad.Braden Setzler in goal was pressed into service a couple of times and made two sharp saves to thwart the Skyline forwards. HT 0-1

In the second half Monroe continued to deny Skyline space and opportunities and the Ann Arbor  team was restricted to several long range efforts and crosses that goalkeeper Braden Setzler dealt with comfortably. In the last 10 minutes Monroe pushed forward and Norberto Flores shot narrowly over the bar with the last clear chance of the game. All in all a very creditable performance by all the players who worked extremely hard against one of the top squads in the state.
