Hawks back on track

Nathan McMahon
SPORTS EDITOR

Coming off a tough 2—1 loss over the
weekend to Manchester University, the Scarlet
Hawks looked to bounce back against a strong
Maranatha Baptist team to add a signature win
to their season.

The first half kicked off and was very much
back and forth play up and down the pitch. The
Scarlet Hawks scored the opening goal as a result
of an outstanding, driving run with the ball by
Tyler Haag. He sent three Maranatha players
going the wrong way, and after getting into the
box, he caused a reckless challenge by a defender
for a penalty kick. Brandon Ramirez stepped up
to the spot and very coolly sent the keeper the
wrong way and slid the ball into the right corner.

Maranatha did waiver in their resolve to
attack after conceding this goal and continued
to press the game with numerous balls over the

top to high sitting strikers. In the end, their
efforts were for naught as the half ended 1—0
with Illinois Tech outshooting the visitors 11-8.

The Hawks came out from the intermission
with a tactical change that placed more numbers
in the midfield to get a foothold in the game.
This move was immensely successful as the
Scarlet Hawks stalled Maranatha’s attack in the
midfield by intercepting numerous passes and
preventing any penetrating passes. At the same
time, the Illinois Tech attack flourished on the
many turnovers of Maranatha as the Hawks flew
forward throughout the half and outshooting
the visitors 14-1 in the second half. For all their
efforts, the Hawks were unable to finish any of
their chances, but also kept the visiting side out
of the net for a 1-0 win.

This was a signature win for the Hawks,
who—coming off a loss—needed desperately to
rediscover their form and keep their dreams of a
national tournament appearance alive.
