Alpena boys soccer team falls to Traverse City Central

TRAVERSE CITY — The Alpena soccer team put together a much better effort this time around against Traverse City Central, but the result was the same, a 4-1 loss on Thursday in Traverse City.

The Wildcats had a great scoring chance early on a free kick to take the lead, but had a shot go just over top of the net.

Traverse City made the most of its opportunities in the first half as they scored twice to take a two goal lead, but Alpena responded before the half ended on a goal by Aidan Day.

The second half belonged to the Trojans as they score two more times and held Alpena scoreless to come away with the victory.

“The effort was good tonight. It was completely opposite than the first time we played them at home,” Alpena coach Tim Storch said. “At times we outplayed them, but unfortunately the score didn’t show that. We just need to keep working hard and putting in the effort and good things will come.”

The Wildcats fall to 9-8-1 overall on the season and are 1-6 in Big North Conference play.

Alpena will be back in action on Monday when they travel to Gaylord.

The Alpena JV soccer team also fell to the Trojans on Thursday, losing by a final score of 2-1.

Alpena’s lone goal came off the foot of Kolton Goebel. The Wildcats fall to 2-5-2 overall on the season.
