The Class 2A No. 17 Huskies scored two goals in the last nine minutes of the first half. Donovan Trew headed the first goal over the 1A No. 8 Crusaders’ goalkeeper off a Josh Thorpe assist, then Thorpe delivered an assist to Drew Tomaszewski, who put it in the back of the net.
Scecina scored twice in the second half, then got the game-winner on a 35-yard shot. Heights coach Derrick Dean called it “a great game to watch as it was very close,” with the Crusaders getting 15 shots to the Huskies’ 11. Caleb Grabarz had nine goalkeeper saves for Heights.
“Several guys stepped up for injuries and this was definitely a game moving in the right direction,” said Dean.
“Luke Vanderwall had a hard task man-marking their leading scorer and did an excellent job to earn player of the game,” said Dean. “Great step in the right direction for the entire team.”
