A fine start for both squads, JVA started the night off right with a dominant second half leading to a 3-0 win.  A closely contested first half ended scoreless, but second half goals by Nick Nsibula, Erkan Erclyas and Mahmoud Belgasam (the 3rd assisted by Tyler Houk), led to the rout. A fine defensive effort by the defense, including Goalie Brayden Houk, kept Hilliard off of the scoreboard and sent the crowd home happy.

The Varsity squad made sure not to spoil the unusually chilly night with a 1-0 shutout win over the Hilliard Darby conference rivals.  The loan goal of the match came less than 10 minutes in when Cam Farris fed Samba Barrie with a pass that Samba buried in the Darby goal.  The defense made sure that the goal held up, with a fine performance from Drew Dekin in goal ensuring the clean sheet.

A great way to start the year for both clubs!
