Westfield came back to beat Brownsburg in a wild 5-4 Hoosier Crossroads Conference victory on Thursday.
The Bulldogs blitzed the Shamrocks for three goals in the first 10 minutes. Westfield got on the board after that, with senior captain Max Von Arx putting a free kick into the net. Moments later, the Shamrocks cut Brownsburg’s lead to 3-2; junior Jordan Donsky placed a free kick near the goal and junior Ben Wallace’s diving effort got it in to score.
The Bulldogs scored again to go up 4-2, but Westfield narrowed the lead to 4-3 before halftime after junior David Green found the back of the net. The Shamrocks cruised through the second half; senior Francis Agbo sent a header to Green, who put a low shot into the net for his second goal of the game. Finally, senior captain Miguel Ayala got the ball at the top of the box, then recovered his own shots and played it to Green, who put the ball in for his third goal of the game, and the winning score.
