After falling behind early in the match, the McCracken County Mustangs rallied to overtake the University Heights Academy Blazers Tuesday evening in Paducah. McCracken scored five unanswered goals in taking the 5-1 win.
The Blazers got on the board early in the match when Ethan Hale scored off an assist from Clayton Lester in the opening minute of the contest as UHA took a 1-0 lead.
That would be the score for much of the first half until Josh Kuntz scored his first goal of the night late in the half to even it up at 1-1. The Mustangs would score again, this time in the final minute of the half on a goal from Jack Housman to take a 2-1 lead into the break.
Ten minutes into the second half, Josh Kuntz would score again as McCracken extended the lead to 3-1. The Mustangs would add two more goals over the next 12 minutes to put the match away as the lead grew to 5-1.
With the loss, the Blazers fall to 4-3 on the season. UHA returns to action Saturday morning when they travel to Owensboro to take on the Apollo Eagles.
