In a battle of state ranked teams, Fruitport defeated visiting Godwin Heights 2-1 in an OK Silver showdown. The Trojans fell behind in the first half as Godwin Heights converted a rebound off a corner kick. The teams entered half with Godwin up 1-0. The Trojans came out strong in the second half and controlled play. Jorge Burgos Yack broke the ice with 14 minutes remaining and slotted home a beautiful shot off an Issac Vandermolen assist. The Trojans weren't done as Vandermolen buried a shot off a Davis Johnson assist to take the lead. The Trojan defense held strong the rest of the way to secure the win. 
 

Logan Werschem earned the win in net and recorded 10 saves for the Trojans in the wet conditions. Fruitport improves to 5-0 on the season and 1-0 in the OK Silver. 
 

Coach Hazekamp was proud of his team's effort noting, "it was a full 24 man effort tonight. The energy on the field and on the bench was tremendous. Im really proud of the boys and their resolve and fight for 80 minutes. This is a great building block for us as we move forward. Big shout out to our crowd tonight that provided a ton of energy that our boys fed off in the second half."

Hazekamp recognized the backline of Braxton Ward, Sam Krueger, Nathaniel Cribley Cotto, and Isaiah Packard for great play in the back. Grade Anspach and Ryder Merkins were recognized for solid play in the midfield.
