Bryan (3-2-1) beat Ottawa Hills in a non-league matchup at Rec Park 2-1.
Bryan started strong but couldn’t find the back of net early after a couple of chances. Ottawa Hills opened the scoring with 27:52 left in the first half when a cross came in and found its way to an open attacker on the back post.
Immediately following the restart, Alex Diaz got the ball in the left wing and took his man to the outside, whipping a cross into the back post that went in off of an Ottawa Hills player.
Bears started the 2nd half with strong intensity, and Carter Altaffer got the ball played into him from Alex Diaz. Altaffer took the ball, cut in to the middle of the box beating his man, and had a tidy finish to the left hand side of the goal.
The Bears continued to hold Ottawa Hills and defended a few dangerous set pieces really well. Bryan continuing to create chances and killed the game off to secure the win and go 3-2-1 in the season. The Bears return to action on Tuesday at Rec park in an NWOAL matchup against Evergreen at 7PM.
