PENTWATER — The Falcons hosted Oakridge in a boys soccer game in which Aron Mascorro scored both goals, but they wound up losing 6-2 in their home opener as the Falcons were only able to answer the rampage once.
Not long after the start of the first half, Moscorro opened up the scoring as he elevated a free kick just out of reach of the Oakridge goalkeeper for what would be the Falcons first goal of the season.
After that, the floodgates opened as Oakridge went on a six-goal rampage, answered only by a second half goal by Moscorro, who was assisted by Brayden Stein.
In goal for the Falcons, Gavin Macher had seven saves and Benjamin Wisenbaugh had 13.
They were shut out August 18 at Newaygo, 7-0.
Afterward, Pentwater Co-Head Coach Roelof Actherhof said,
“After the first goal, we played a game on Monday so things didn’t go well on Monday so we changed things up.”
“It went a lot better today in the first half, Roelof said. “But after that goal, yes, we did slow down a bit … I don’t know why, but they did.”
“We have basically a new team; we lost nine seniors last year so some of the guys were eighth-graders,” Roelof said.
Roelof said those eighth-graders did not play last season and that he has two players from Walkerville to help fill out his roster.
The players from Walkerville are Moscarro and Damien Montoya.
Mandy Achterhof is the other co-coach.
Pentwater returns home on Sept. 2 against Grant.
