Monroe Boys soccer were held to a 2-2 tie in a very competitive game away to Bedford High School on Thursday night. A small sinkhole at the edge of the field resulted in the game being played to the width of the lacrosse field which was safer but probably doubled the number of throw-ins and somewhat disrupted the flow of the game.

 Despite a slow start which allowed the home team to carry much of the play the Trojans took the lead  when Tobin Becker volleyed home a long throw in by Cooper Robinson. Monroe almost added to their lead but Brian Palmer's long range shot crashed against the post and rebounded to safety. The Mules equalized with barely 3 seconds remaining in the half. HT 1-1

In the second half the home team again began stronger and deservedly took the lead. This woke up the Monroe squad and a switch in formation led to a period of heavy Monroe pressure. The equalizer came \when a blocked shot by Jovanny Gallegos was smashed home by Logan Brockway from just outside the penalty box. The Trojans continued to press and had an excellent chance to win the game in the last minute but the chance went begging.

Another typical rivalry game between the two D1 schools in the county and a draw was probably a fair result. Nathan Sanchez in goal made 8 saves and both Collin and Aiden Gray had excellent games for the Trojans..

JV won 2-1 with an exciting come from behind victory. The goals by Jimmy Maylin and Nolan Rykse.

Monroe now 3-0-1 for the season.
