The Cy Fair Bobcats posted their first shutout of the season with a 2-0 win over the Cy Falls Eagles. Cy Fair withstood a couple of early scoring opportunities from the Eagles but the Bobcats got on the scoreboard first as Aaron Hastings scored off an assist from Morgan Shay at the 32 minute mark. The Bobcats continued to maintain possession of the ball and went into halftime with a 1-0 lead.
The Bobcats scored four minutes into the second period when Geoff Orihel went one on one with the goalkeeper and used his foot skills to manuver by the keeper and calmly drilled the ball into the back net from ten meters out. Senior Midfielders Adonis Pinto and Murtaza Rivzi clogged up the middle while ensuring the Bobcats maintained possesion by swining the ball from side to side. The Eagles pushed forward late in the game but the Bobcats experienced backline led by Seniors Ethan Kovar, Travis Hastings, Tripp Manzella and Sophmore Stephen Orihel squelched all scoring threats.
Cy Fair is undefeated and leads the 17-5a district with a 3-0-1 record and will host Langham Creek on Tuesday Feb 12 at 7pm.
