“The whole game was a challenge because we went up against another extremely good team,” Center-back Chris Oswald said.

The Knights gave up a 2-1 lead to the Spartans. The turning point in the game was when FHC scored their second goal. IN the nerve-racking atmosphere, FHC managed to score a third goal against varsity goalie Kevin Rudberg. But the team isn’t letting the loss get them down.

“ I think everyone had a pretty good night, we all just made little mistakes,” Oswald said.
