After the worst loss of the season on Tuesday, Greensburg came back and responded with a 6-2 victory against Franklin County.
Without a win on the road in the past 5 seasons, Greensburg got the scoring started with a goal from sophomore, Luke Hellmich, his first of the season. The Wildcats would go on to respond with 26 seconds left in the half to tie it 1-1. Greensburg came out firing in the second half and produced the best (overall) offensive performance of the season. The second half scoring started with sophomore Grayson Newhart off of a corner kick from Luke Hellmich. Then, Sage O’Mara was able to break away from the defense and carry the ball from midfield to score and push it to 3-1 in favor of Greensburg. Another Grayson Newhart goal off of an assist from Collin Springmeyer would make it 4-1.
A penalty kick for Franklin County would keep them from being shut out in the second half, but Greensburg quickly responded with another goal from Sage O’Mara, assisted from Collin Springmeyer. Springmeyer would find the back of the net with 1 minute left in the game to end it 6-2 in favor of the Pirates.
The Pirates won their first conference game and are now 2-4-1 on the season and 1-1 in the conference.
