Napoleon 4 Defiance 2

The game attracted many enthusiastic Napoleon students
Lee Hunter scored a goal for the Wildcats
Matt DeMichiei scored twice for Napoleon

In a triumph of champagne soccer over abject tactics, Napoleon defeated Defiance 4-2 this evening on the banks of the Maumee River. Defiance scored early on a soft lob over a napping Napoleon goalkeeper - the equivalent of poking a sleeping bear with a stick. Lee Hunter and Matt DeMichiei each scored, giving Napoleon a 2-1 halftime lead. After the break, Defiance scored from a free kick earned through cheap theatrics. Matt DeMichiei and Cole Gerken each registered a goal to provide the final 4-2 tally.
