GARDEN CITY, MI – The Chargers (3-7-3) were defeated 1-2 by Schoolcraft College on Friday.

Coach Gallagher stated, “I give a lot of credit to our guys.  We came out with high energy and after we scored the game’s first goal we knew they would turn it up a notch.  We dealt with that pressure and I know this game will prepare us for the regional playoffs.”

Schoolcraft came into the match against Ancilla ranked 8^th in the national poll.  Carlos Ramirez (El Paso, TX) got the Chargers on the board when he converted a penalty kick.  Rene Mejia played fantastic in the net and came away with 7 saves on the day.  Matt Willinger (Evansville, IN), Mike Calderon (Long Beach, CA), and Lexi Reynoso (San Diego, CA) gave strong performances holding down the backline against a potent Schoolcraft attack.

The Chargers gear up for their next game on the road in a regional playoff Wednesday, October 24^th against regional opponent Cincinnati State and Technical.

Gallagher added, “It’s tournament time and anything can happen when it is a one and done.  Cincinnati State and Technical is a solid side but we built up our confidence the last time we played them so I expect another tough game!”
