The Christian County Colonels now set their sights on the beginning of the regular season following their preseason soccer scrimmage Tuesday evening at Calloway County. Tuesday night’s match turned out to be a story of two halves as the Colonels fell to the Lakers 6-3.
The opening half belonged completely to the Lakers. Calloway County bolted out to a 4-0 halftime lead and looked to have things rolling in their direction.
Give the Colonels credit, it was a scrimmage, on the road, on a sultry summer night, and it would have been easy to pack up the tent and head for home. However, the Colonels did not.
Christian County scored three unanswered goals to trim the lead to 4-3. But, the effort to get back in the match and weather conditions may have conspired agains the Colonels as the gas tank ran a little low, and the Lakers were able to score two late goals to take the 6-3 win.
Coach Arne Seeger was quite pleased with his team’s effort to battle their way back into the contest.
The Colonels will now open the regular season Monday evening when they travel to Franklin-Simpson.
