Delta Loses Heartbreaker

Delta College was caught off guard with the speed and skill of the players from Cincinnati State and, by the time the Pioneers were able to make the necessary adjustments, they found themselves down by four goals. A penalty kick late in the first half put the Pioneers on the board. The second half was a complete turn around for the Delta squad as they scored three unanswered goals to tie the score at 4-4. Delta had a chance to take the lead with five minutes remaining on the clock but the Surge's goalie made a fantastic save to keep the score knotted. With time running down, the Surge capitalized on a Pioneer miscue when a clearing attempt was deflected in off a Delta defender giving Cincinnati State the 5-4 victory. Delta is now 1-1 on the season and play the Jets of Jackson Community College on the 9th of September at 4:00 p.m.
