Strong Second Half Lifts Reinhardt Reserves Over Georgia Impact

WALESKA, Ga. – After struggling to find the back of the net in the first half, the Reinhardt Eagle reserve soccer team rallied together for three second-half goals to defeat the Georgia Impact U18s by a final score of 3-0.

The Eagles were in control for a majority of the first half – creating several scoring chances – but the Georgia Impact goalkeeper was up for the challenge, however, as a great first-half performance saw the score, 0-0, at halftime.

The Reserve Eagles refused to take the foot off the gas in the second half, as an outside strike for Dima Lynes saw itself deflect past the Georgia Impact goalkeeper for the first score of the match. Ten minutes later, a foul committed on freshman Andres Jorquera would give the Eagles a penalty kick.

Jorquera would step up and take the spot kick, where his initial attempt would be saved, but Jorquera would easily tuck in the rebound to make the score 2-0.

A few minutes later, Jorquera would finish off the scoring with his second of the night; making for a final of 3-0.

Sophomore goalkeeper Patryk Weber played the full 90 minutes to earn the shutout.

Reinhardt looks to stay on track against Sudamerica Futsal on Oct. 22 at 7 p.m.
