"The second half, we told them, we're a lot better than this as a team, and we had to figure it out," Hunt head coach
With the score tied at 1-1 after junior Hackney Tulloss tapped in an Anguiano cross at the far post with 21:52 to go, Greenfield soon suffered a signficant blow.
A 62nd-minute scrum in the Greenfield penalty area resulted in Knights sophomore keeper
That ushered freshman Austin Dew into the proceedings, and Hunt quickly took advantage with 17:14 remaining. Anguiano slid a through ball for freshman

"I warned them," Mendoza reviewed. "That the most dangerous scoreline in soccer is 1-0 at halftime. We still came in the second half and couldn't quite get another goal in. Then, the injury, of course came in."
The result places both Hunt and Fike, the 2013 champion, atop the standings with six points each and one goal allowed in tournament play. Absent a head-to-head matchup, the next tiebreaker is goals allowed. Saturday's final games pit Hunt against Wilson Christian and Fike versus Greenfield.

With the lone CCS goal, Mizelle downplayed any disappointment as far as Rotary Cup implications are concerned.
"I think the boys felt it a little bit," he said. "Something I talked about at halftime was, we're going to get scored on this year. I didn't think we responded very well to them scoring that goal, but as far as being disappointed, we're 2-0. That's all I care about."
CCS faces Beddingfield on Saturday in its final Rotary Cup contest.
