shots-on-goal in the fi rst 13 minutes of
the half, but still couldn't break the seal.
Despite playing with an extra man in
the back, the Tigers were able to push
numbers forward to score their third goal
on a header by Henry Murray.
However, the Celtics fi nally responded
to score their fi rst goal of the game in the
67th minute. McNary was awarded a pen-
alty kick after a Newberg defender was
called for a hand-ball inside the goalie
box, and Celtics forward Hudson Brunk
took advantage of the gift, torching the
right side of the net with a goal to put
McNary within two.
Just over four minutes later, the
Celtics got on the board again as Brunk
sent a beautiful cross over the goalie's
head that landed just a couple feet away
from the net. Jorge Ruiz was able to get
the touch on the ball and convert on the
point-blank goal to cut Newberg's lead to
3-2.
Camarena said the key to McNary's
off ensive surge was changing their for-
mation from a 3-5-2 to a 4-3-3.
“We were able to attack more. It
worked when we changed strategy. But it
wasn't enough to come all the way back,”
Camarena said.
McNary had two more cracks at a goal
to force a draw in the fi nal three minutes,
but couldn't get off a clean look.
McNary will host Crescent Valley
in their fi nal non-conference game on
Friday, Sept. 24 at 4:30 p.m.
