Nerves were a little frayed in Christ School’s locker room after playing two games in 48 hours decided by sudden-death overtime rules.
Same script, same result.
Jonathan Chen ’23 was the hero Friday, scoring from the top of the goal area 4 minutes and 58 seconds into overtime of a 1-0 win at Charlotte Providence Day. George Robbins '24 served in a nice ball that was touched once before Jonathan got a piece of it.
A day later, it was Ethan Rose ’24 who slid in from nearly the same spot where Jonathan scored to send the Greenies past visiting Asheville Christian Academy, 1-0. Ethan's team-leading fourth goal of the season occurred with less than a minute remaining in the first overtime period.
Both of the golden goals had come after the Greenies (5-3, 1-1) and their opponents had played 80 scoreless minutes of regulation. Ben Yang ’24 (Friday) and Caleb McClellan ’23 (Saturday) were the goalkeepers responsible for the shutouts.
