Kuemper at Harlan
Harlan 2
Kuemper 0
The Kuemper Knights were in a close game against Harlan, but a late mistake made all the difference in the end.
The Knights were looking to break an early 0-4 losing streak and they looked to do that against a 2-1 Harlan squad. The Cyclones were first to strike early in the contest to give them the 1-0 lead and it stayed that way for a majority of the game. Kuemper Head Coach Ken Massey says the Knights missed a lot of shots in this game including some pk shots. Despite the missed shots, the Knights defensively kept Harlan at that 1-0 lead up until one crucial mistake. Kuemper ended up scoring on themselves to give Harlan the 2-0 lead which ended up being the last goal scored in the game.
The loss drops Kuemper to 0-5 overall on the season. Michael Kasperbauer put in some work in front of the net with 13 saves in the game. The Knights are back on the pitch on Tuesday, April 11th when they host Greene County.
